Twilight Kayak Tour on Yellowstone Lake

Paddle Yellowstone Lake's western side in a small group and experience Yellowstone National Park from water level.

• Explore thermal features bubbling in and around the lake
• Look for wildlife along the shoreline and birds overhead
• Discover Yellowstone Lake's volcanic and glacial landscape
• Learn about local birds, rocks, and bear lore from your guide
• Enjoy a quieter perspective away from park crowds

Itinerary

• Meet and greet at the Grant Village Marina, receive your dry bag and your guide will get you started with things you will want to bring.
• After using the bathrooms, we go over a safety talk, paddle instruction, and a map talk.
• When we get to the kayaks, we adjust your foot pedals and make sure you feel comfortable in our kayaks. We have carbon fiber paddles, and comfortable sea kayaks, so we can ensure you have the best possible time!
• Once we launch from the beach, guides keeping your toes dry, we paddle three miles to the West Thumb Geyser Basin (easier done than said as our kayaks are really fast!).
• We also stop for a beach break/ snack break on one of our favorite volcanic black sand beaches.
• Once we have had our beach break and have seen the basin, we head back to the marina and look for any unique wildlife in the evening's golden hour.
