Additional Info

Confirmation will be received at time of booking
Wheelchair accessible
Travelers should have a moderate physical fitness level
All children 12 and under must paddle in a tandem kayak with an adult. If booking with children, you must choose the tandem kayak option. This is the rate per kayak, for 2 people.

If you wish to have single kayaks (not available for children under 13), the rate is per person.
Please come dressed for cold weather, as it is usually colder in Yellowstone than you are expecting. Keep in mind that while kayaking, you will get wet. The weather in Yellowstone can vary greatly, and change quickly. Typically the days are sunny with temps in the upper 60's to low 80's, however it does get cold at night and early morning. Afternoon showers and passing thunderstorms are always possible in the mountains. We plan to go in rain or sunshine. We will provide all the necessary kayaking equipment. You should arrive dressed according to the weather, keeping in mind that while you wont ever be submerged in the water, you will get wet. Therefore dressing in layers is always best, with shorts or wind pants made of synthetic quick drying material, and shoes that you dont mind getting wet. Having a rain or wind jacket, extra layers, and/or a change of warm dry clothes for after the trip ends, is also a good idea. Guide gratuities are always appreciated, but never expected. If you have any questions any time, please dont hesitate to ask.
This tour/activity will have a maximum of 18 travelers

Bad communication

Linda_U, Jun 2025

I had booked this originally as a reserve now pay later. Two days before the event I canceled the booking. I never received confirmation of the booking or cancelation. I emailed and chatted my cancelation three times but they claim to have not received it until the day of the booking. The policy also stated that it was a 24 hour cancelation, but they said in an email it was 48-hour. Regardless, I did cancel within two days prior to the booking but they still charged me. I am in an area where cell service is spotty, at best and wifi the same. They need a better follow up, especially in areas where service can be challenging for travelers. Now I am out my money as they say that I did not cancel in time. $250 is a lot to spend on nothing.

The lake was beautiful...

David_D, Jun 2025

The lake was beautiful and the paddling easy. Went approximately 6 miles round trip. You'll come close to shore and see various thermals on land and in the water, but for safety sake, you won't be close. Bring bug spray for there were a few mosquitos. Sunset on the lake is beautiful. The guide was very knowledgeable and engaging and he provided all protective clothing and drybags if people wanted them.
