This guided kayaking tour in Yellowstone National Park includes an introduction to Yellowstone’s history and the geology of the Lake. You’ll receive kayaking equipment and learn techniques before your guides lead you along the shoreline to the West Thumb Geyser Basin. Here, you’ll explore numerous geothermal features on land and underwater from your kayak, many of which are inaccessible by any other means. This primitive geyser basin has no signs, no boardwalks, and most importantly, no other people. We’ll stop at a secluded beach for a picnic lunch, which we provide, then return the same way, arriving back at our vehicles around 2 PM, depending on the group. All necessary kayaking equipment and paddling instruction are included. No prior kayaking experience is required, and all skill levels are welcome. Single and double kayaks are available. Enjoy a personalized experience in small groups.

• All children 12 and under must paddle in a tandem kayak with an adult. If booking with children, you must choose the tandem kayak option. This is the rate per kayak, for 2 people.
• If you wish to have single kayaks (not available for children under 13), the rate is per person.
• Please advise any dietary requirements in the Special Requirements field at checkout. Vegetarian and gluten free lunches are available if you let us know.
• Please come dressed for cold weather, as it is usually colder in Yellowstone than you are expecting. Keep in mind that while kayaking, you will get wet. The weather in Yellowstone can vary greatly, and change quickly. Typically the days are sunny with temps in the upper 60’s to low 80’s, however it does get cold at night and early morning. Afternoon showers and passing thunderstorms are always possible in the mountains. We plan to go in rain or sunshine. We will provide all the necessary kayaking equipment. You should arrive dressed according to the weather, keeping in mind that while you wont ever be submerged in the water, you will get wet. Therefore dressing in layers is always best, with shorts or wind pants made of synthetic quick drying material, and shoes that you dont mind getting wet. Having a rain or wind jacket, extra layers, and/or a change of warm dry clothes for after the trip ends, is also a good idea. Guide gratuities are always appreciated, but never expected. If you have any questions any time, please dont hesitate to ask.

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
