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. Kayaking on lake Yellowstone on a old volcano is truly one of the top five things to do while in the park. With our small group tours we are able to personalize the tour and really show our guests this place in a unique way.

A really fun relaxing paddle on Lake Yellowstone. Lake Yellowstone is a beautiful lake to kayak on. We did the early morning tour, a little brisk at the beginning but not too bad. This was a leisurely paddle for 6 miles along the coastline. Very cool at one point we stopped over an area where the water was bubbling due to an underwater geyser. At the halfway point we made a stop for snacks and our guide (sorry forgot his name but he was excellent) gave us a great overview of the lake. We chose a tandem kayak since we weren't sure of the currents but honestly you could have a single without any problem at all. Not a taxing activity, more of a laid-back relaxing tour. Really enjoyable morning!

We had a fantastic sunset paddle on Yellowstone lake, around the west thumb area of the park. Our guide, Chris, was friendly and really made the trip more enjoyable! We got the opportunity to view a ton of geothermal activity and the trip was very calm and serene, and Chris made sure to highlight some cool features that we would have otherwise missed. Overall the tour was wicked awesome, we had a great time.

We had a great time on Yellowstone Lake with Evan and Annie. We were delayed a few minutes as they made a decision regarding the weather which made us feel safe and confident in their knowledge of the lake and area. Eventually Annie took my wife and I out as Even volunteered to stay behind with the remaining group who was not as experienced on the water as we were. Annie was awesome! Her knowledge and easy going personality allowed for an amazing night on the water. I highly recommend this tour for those who want to see the park from a different point of view.
