We showed up for the last day of tours and were greeted by a perfectly calm, crystal clear lake, blue skies with not a cloud in sight, brisk Fall weather … and Natty, the co-owner of this wonderful tour company. He greeted us warmly, and even had coffee and tea ready for us lake-side. Then off we went around the lake, staring in wonder at the little geysers and fumeroles on the shore. There were ducks, Goldeneyes, Canada geese, and even a bald eagle! After returning to our picnic table, Natty presented us with a charcuterie platter that was worthy of a 4-star restaurant. (I took photos so I could copy the presentation!). We all sat around as he regaled us with facts, figures, and random info about the area. And he’ll even break into song every now and then! This was a day I’ll remember for the rest of my life!!

What a wonderful way to experience the geothermal activity in Yellowstone! Maddi and Dylan were our guides on this private tour and they were simply fantastic. We had a group of 10 adults, ranging in ability from first timers to seasoned kayakers. The pace was perfect for the less experienced kayakers, but never felt too slow for the others, as Maddi and Dylan shared historical and scientific information and stories throughout the paddle. At the end of our trip they provided a wonderful spread on the shore of the lake. Maddi had taken multiple photos of us on the water and Air Dropped them right to our phones at the end of the tour. An additional shout out goes to Natty who took the time during the booking process to help us plan, not only our 1 day at Yellowstone, but also our entire stay in Jackson Hole. We ended up doing most of what he recommended and were never disappointed. We have booked many outdoor adventure tours and this was one of the best.

Hi Donna, Thank you so much for you kind words! We love hearing about your time with Prismatic. One of the perks of booking with us is that we are always happy to help our guests plan their time in the Greater Yellowstone Area. There is so much to do and so little time that having that insider knowledge is critical. Tell your friends to come see us! Regards, Natty

Our family had so much fun experiencing this part of Yellowstone by water. We're all from a big city and aren't particularly outdoorsy but our guide Jason made us feel comfortable in our kayaks as he explained how best to paddle and navigate through the water. Jason kept our attention as we kayaked with his knowledge of the Yellowstone area and some of its history. We were able to admire the fantastic natural thermal formations that the park is so famous for. There are some very beautiful steam vents and caves just along the water! Towards the end of your tour, we were treated to a killer picnic along the shore that we enjoyed very much. Thanks so much again to Prismatic Tours for guiding us along Yellowstone Lake!
