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.

We did the evening kayak experience which was good for beginners because the water was calm on the way back. There were great 360 views of the lake and we were able to get close to the geothermal pools along the lake. Joe & Pat, our guides, were so fun and very knowledgeable about the history and geography of Yellowstone. They both made us feel very safe and gave us great instruction throughout our trip. They made great conversation and kept us laughing, which really elevated the experience. I would recommend Shurr Adventures to anyone who wants a unique Yellowstone kayaking experience!

A lot of fun, we had what felt like our own private guide as they broke the tour into families groups and assigned a guide to each. Really beautiful with the mountain range in the distance and a different view of the geothermal features in the West Thumb.

Wonderful experience for my daughter (11) and my sister. We had to reschedule due to the floods and they were very accommodating. The guide, Aiden, was very knowledgeable, personable, and helpful. It does require a lot of paddling, but our guide assisted when needed. Xanterra was no help at all with schedule changes or questions. Not sure if you can book directly with Shurr, but I highly recommend doing that instead.
