Small-Group Sunset Kayaking Tour on Lake Yellowstone
Overview
Our Yellowstone Lake kayaking sunset tours offer a truly unique experience, away from the crowds of Yellowstone. Firstly, we take pride in providing the smallest group sizes on the water, ensuring a more intimate and personalized adventure. This allows for an immersive and engaging experience as you navigate the stunning Yellowstone Lake. The combination of the serene waters, thermal features like hot springs, and occasionally witnessing geysers erupting from the vantage point of a kayak creates an incredibly cool and memorable experience.
Our Level 3 ACA rescue guides are top professionals in their field, their expertise adds depth to the tour as they share insights about the lake, its surroundings, and the unique geological features you encounter along the way.
Please note that this sunset adventure may be canceled more frequently than our morning trip due to weather conditions. However, when the weather cooperates, it showcases the magnificence of the Yellowstone Lake at sunset.

Nov 2021No experience is necessary! Beginners are welcome on all of our kayak tours. Most of our guests have never been in a sea kayak before. Anyone in average physical condition may join a kayak tour. If you can hike or bike, you can paddle our sea kayaks. You do not need any swimming skills either.
The only prerequisite is a healthy spirit of curiosity and adventure.
Regardless of age or skill level you will find that our expeditions offer enough flexibility to make your experience with us safe and rewarding. We will show you proper sea kayaking technique and water safety before leaving the beach. And your expert guides will be with you throughout the adventure to give you pointers and improve your skills.
