Our meeting time of 8:30 is the optimal time as we are one of the first to get on and usually get back before the strong afternoon winds pick up.

With our small group tours we are able to personalize the tour and really show our guests this place in a unique way.

This was a great paddling trip to view the geothermal features of the West Thumb Geyser Basin from a completely different angle. It was well worth it! The guides are awesome and very knowledgable. We saw a group of otters playing as well :) We took the sunset trip, but I would probably suggest the morning trip instead. The sun sets directly behind the geyser basin, so there was a lot of squinting going on, even with sunglasses.

We went out on a beautiful Sunday morning as part of a group of 8 led by Annie from Shurr Adventures. She got us prepped in our kayaks and we set off on a 6 mile trip to see some steam vents and geysers. The lake is beautiful and serene, but she pointed out where there was thermal activity going on just below us. We spotted a mature bald eagle that preened a bit for our entertainment. Yellowstone provides so many great activities. I'm very glad we took the time to get out on the lake with an experienced guide. I highly recommend using Shurr!

I was worried about an early morning (8:30) kayak trip in chilly weather, but the email that was sent in advance was very thorough about how to prepare. Then, luckily, we had an amazingly beautiful day. The kayaking was easy and leisurely, but packed with interesting information and lots of laughs. Evan was a fantastic guide, and my brother and I are thrilled that we did it!
