Paddle from Grant Village Marina to the West Thumb Geyser Basin and back. Dip your blade into the waters above Yellowstone’s super volcano. Your guide will keep an eye on you and tell you tales of native peoples who lived next to the geysers on the lakeshore.

We launch early to spot wildlife and enjoy the still waters. We end the tour around noon so you have the afternoon to explore more of Yellowstone’s natural wonders.

Most of all, we like to have fun! It takes some elbow grease to move the kayak, but the experience on the water is worth it. This is the best way to see the West Thumb Geyser Basin in Yellowstone.

We launch in the morning to avoid unpredictable weather conditions. Wind conditions frequently create water hazards in the afternoon that we try to avoid.

Guide to Guest ratio is 1:6. Single and tandem kayaks provided.

$127 per person

Kayaking Tour meets at the Grant Village Marina at 8AM.
