Join Shurr Adventures rated Number 1# on Trip Advisor for a Yellowstone Kayaking Eco-Tour paddling past the West Thumb and Potts Geyser basins on our stable, comfortable and high end kayaks! Our tours do not consist of 15 to 20 people in a group, we offer the smallest group size on the lake for a more personalized and enjoyable tour with only 6 people to 1 guide in each group. Paddling amongst and over the thermal features on Yellowstone Lake is truly special! Kayak with our naturalist guides and learn about Yellowstone Lake, its surrounding wildlife, and the geological history that shaped the lake and its ecosystems. This tour will help give our guests a broader view of the lake area and the southern/central part of Yellowstone National Park.
This is an excellent way to see these natural geothermal wonders up close and personal, without having to trudge through a crowded boardwalk! These high altitude lakes are also a good water source for a variety of birds, elk, deer, and once in a great while a bear! We will be on the lookout for these animals as we kayak! This is truly an unbeatable experience! We have found over the last decade that our morning start time and time on the water is the “sweet spot” for our guests enjoyment. This start time gives guests time to arrive on time, let the cold morning temps warm up over 45 degrees (average temps at 7:00 to 7:30, and for guests to get back around 12:00 to 12:30 and head for a nice lunch with an amazing Lake Yellowstone view from the historic Grant Village Dining room. If guests can’t paddle in the morning we highly recommend the breathtaking sunset trip.
This trip meets at the Grant Village Marina (reservations required).
Difficulty: Moderate (5 to 6 mile paddle, sometimes against the wind in chop at a high elevation)
Price: Morning adventure $145per adult/ $120 (children under 12)
Sunset Adventure $145 per adult/$120 (children under 12)
Trip Times: Morning 8:30, 9:00, and Sunset
Paddling Time: 3 to 3.5 hours
The distance we cover seeing both geyser basins and time on the water is the “sweet spot” and the optimal times to avoid getting caught in the daily high winds producing whitecaps and possible afternoon thunderstorms on the way back or for our guest to be too exhausted at the end of their adventure. Upon arriving back to shore our guests can walk five minutes or make a short drive to the famous Grant Village Dining Room for a great meal and an amazing Lake Yellowstone view!
Our sunset tour is the same amount of time and distance as the morning trip. Our meeting time in the evening is when the lake winds and chop usually calm down. There is nothing like paddling with a painted sky and a sunset on the way back. On our sunset tour the sun illuminates the thermal features and shoreline for amazing photos.
Minimum 2 people to make a reservation online
Min. Age: 7 (Children under 14 must be in a double kayak with an adult)
*** We don't offer trips start time thru the middle of the day because of the strong and potentially dangerous afternoon winds, plus it makes it harder to see Yellowstone's underwater thermal features. Trip cancellations and or a shortened trip rushing to beat the storm due is more likely and common. The morning 8:30, 9:00and sunset tours are the best times for less wind, with morning being the most reliable weather daily and the winds usually calm down before the sunset tour starts. ***
***Should I Choose a Single or Double Kayak? Please remember that these kayak tours are on cold, high altitude lakes. The conditions can be calm and super clear on some days, or choppy and more adventurous on others. Double kayaks with rudders are great for inexperienced kayakers or people that are worried about getting tired on this tour which happens to a lot of people in single kayaks due to the daily winds and 5 miles of paddling.***
