Early Morning Guided Kayak Tour
Overview
3 Hour Paddle
We begin our 3 hour paddle of the West Thumb Geyser basin at 8:30 AM. We will traverse 3 miles of wilderness with the opportunity to view active geyser features along the way. Paddling along the shoreline allows for the best wildlife viewing opportunities. Elk are often spotted in Grant Village and sometimes other mammals such as bears and wolves frequent the lake area. A variety of bird species are spotted daily and the water is clear enough to see the native Cutthroat Trout as big as your arm if you're lucky enough. ;) The fish can get quite large in Yellowstone Lake.

What To Expect
Join us today for a fun filled educational experience as you paddle the shores of Yellowstone Lake, North Americas Largest High Alpine Lake! You will traverse 3 miles of wilderness in a sea kayak with experienced friendly guides with the opportunity to view active geyser features from the unique perspective of being on the water.
Very few places in the world can you access such incredible scenery with such ease! While others are limited to viewing these unique features from the boardwalk we will be away from the crowds in our own kayaks, viewing Geysers, Hot Springs, and Underwater Vents that percolate to the surface of the lake. The West Thumb area of Yellowstone Lake is where you will find hundreds of Geo Thermal features that you will not find anywhere else. Our Early morning 3 hour Tours are perfect for families of all ages and abilities. Hit the park early with our AM tours and have the rest of the day to view the rest of the park. Old Faithful, Cascade Falls, The Yellowstone River, Hayden Valley are nearby attractions.
