Kayak Yellowstone Private Tour

Overview

Escape the crowds and let us show you the quiet side of the Park! We offer private guided sea kayak experiences on Yellowstone Lake. With a flexible start time, we customize the day to meet your schedule. You will be greeted on the beach of Grant Village Marina with fresh coffee and an introduction to the Park and the incredible geology at play in the region. A serene paddle in sea kayaks along the shore through crystal clear water brings us to an active geyser basin where we float alongside hot springs, fountain geysers and fumaroles. At the conclusion of our paddle; a marvelous spread, locally cured and curated charcuterie is enjoyed on the beach with the lake as a backdrop to a gourmet picnic lunch. The "Sunrise Private" is approximately 5-6 hours long with the start time flexible, however we generally aim to meet between 7:30AM-9:00AM. We can accommodate any length of paddle desired between 1 and 6 hours.

Absolutely loved our kayaking experience with Jason! We've been on many kayak tours in the past, but none come close to the level of service we received with Prismatic Tours. Highly recommend 11/10!

Such a blast - The lake was gorgeous, and it was so amazing to see the geysers from the water. My husband and I are beginner/intermediate kayakers, and our guide was very kind in giving us pointers, checking in to make sure we were having a good time. He was also very knowledgeable about the local ecology, geology, and the area as a whole! We can’t wait to come back with the whole family.

This was a FANTASTIC experience, largely due to our amazing tour guide, Allen. He instructed us on technique before hitting the water and shared information about animals, plants, the history of Yellowstone and more along the way - my kids are still talking about everything they learned! We paddled over to some sites along the edge of Yellowstone lake - from a safe distance, of course. Allen was extremely patient and kind, and truly went above and beyond helping us deal with a few mishaps along the way (which were totally on us!). All in all, a day we won't soon forget!
