We meet at the marina in Grant Village, on the western edge of Yellowstone Lake, in the late afternoon when the winds begin to diminish. The largest lake in the country above 7000 feet elevation, Yellowstone Lake provides a pristine paddling experience. Your guide will lead you around the shoreline to the West Thumb Geyser Basin where there are many geothermal features on land and under water we will explore from our kayaks, then return the way we came, following the shoreline and watching the wildlife as we casually make our way back to Grant Village, returning just before dark. Paddling away from the crowds in the west thumb of the lake, we teach you how to safely and properly control your kayak so you are able to relax and take in all of the natural beauty of Yellowstone at sunset.
We always stay in small groups to make sure you get the most information and best access to this incredible area, and to ensure safety throughout each trip. Ages 12 and under are required to be in a tandem kayak with an adult, and we take kids as young as 5 regularly. We have both single and double kayaks available for everyone to enjoy and absolutely no prior kayaking experience is required.
