A morning paddle on Yellowstone Lake is a great way to start the day before moving on to afternoon activities. Morning is the best time of day to spot wildlife.
We begin the tour at 8AM to beat the wind and waves that can form later in the day. Safety is our priority.
Your kayak instructor will provide a safety briefing and introduce you to the kayaks and paddle strokes. The tours have a ratio of 6-guests-to-1-guide. The minimum age to join is 14.
Once underway, we journey from the Grant Village Marina to the West Thumb Geyser Basin, weather permitting. The sight of the steaming geyser basin forms a lifelong memory. Enjoy the big mountain views of the Absaroka Range across the lake. Getting out on the water is a unique way to experience the Park.
Our tours are fun! But we also have a passion for the Park and enjoy sharing information about the flora, fauna, and history of the region.
Please, come enjoy a day on the waters of Yellowstone Lake with Yellowstone Hiking Guides.

The paddle takes place in the West Thumb of Yellowstone Lake. We kayak near the lake shore and sometimes encounter wildlife like bear or elk as we paddle the six miles toward the West Thumb Geyser Basin. We turn around at Potts Geyser Basin, which cannot be seen from the road. See geysers, hot springs, waterfowl, fish and more on our morning kayak tour.
West Thumb Geyser Basin
See West Thumb Geyser Basin from the water. Avoiding the crowded boardwalks, we see thermal features bubbling up from the lake bottom and water falling from the Abyss and Black Pools. We often see shorebirds nesting in the unique thermal features and floating around the hot waters.

Loved going on this excursion. Spencer was our guide and he was awesome. Lots of good information and beautiful views. We loved spending the morning with him and our group. Once our kayaking was done, a great lunch was provided- so much food - hit the spot. Emily one of the owners and guides was so sweet. Overall just what we were looking for on a crisp beautiful fall morning.

Emily Joe and Josh were super nice! They shared a lot of fun facts and stories! You didn’t feel rushed and you could go at your own pace. We got lucky and got to see the arch geyser! Which goes off once day but it’s unpredictable. The lunch and snacks were great also! They handed out water bottles and warm clothes to anyone who needs it. definitely book with them!!! I would do it get
