Great day out - very organized. Well maintained kayak equipment and safety gear. The guide made this easy even if you are a novice.

This was an awesome way to experience Lake Yellowstone and the surrounding gorgeous vistas. Josh’s knowledge of the area, skill in giving us a quick lesson in kayaking technique and warm personality made our experience a memorable one.

This is a must do in Yellowstone. We paddled out to West Thumb Geyser Basin. We also saw Arch Geyser erupt from the lake, which was amazing. Lunch and snacks were provided, and the guide was very knowledgeable. The weather was beautiful out (September 2023), and we saw several elk.

Wow what an incredible excursion! We kayaked six miles and saw two bald eagles on the way along with a geyser that rarely erupts! Joshua was our tour guide and extremely knowledgeable about the area and provided snacks throughout the day! Would definitely recommend to anyone for great views of the lake and a wonderfully unique experience!

We arrived early for our 8 am tour and Josh was already setting up for our tour - hot coffee and aussie bites to keep us occupied and warm. It was a nice grouping for our family. Josh gave us good information on our tour and how to paddle effectively. Weather was a little undecided but we still saw elk and bald eagles. We covered 5 miles in total and our family was thrilled with our experience. Lunch was well-received on our return. Josh was so helpful, communicative and friendly.

My wife and I took the kayak trip on Monday September 18th. It was a little chilly in the AM but warmed up to be a beautiful day. The scenery was gorgeous, we had the lake to ourselves. The group we were with was great. Our guide Josh did a wonderful job. He was extremely knowledgeable of the Yellowstone Lake and Park as a whole. He was very personable and made the trip very enjoyable. We ended our 4 hour trip with a bag lunch on the beach that couldn’t have been nicer. I would highly recommend this trip.

In the land of geysers it was a treat to see Arch Geyser in action given its relative uniqueness. Seeing that made the paddle that much more special. As kayakers it was also a pleasure to simply do a paddle on Yellowstone Lake; something few visitors to Yellowstone do. Our guide, Josh, was excellent. His attention to our safety, his enthusiastic sharing of his knowledge of the lake & YNP itself added nice depth to our experience. He’s also a great guy to paddle with. Our visit to Yellowstone would have not been as rich as it was had we not kayaked on Yellowstone Lake with Josh. We can recommend YHG & Josh in particular to anybody visiting Yellowstone National Park.

So many great things happened on our kayaking trip. Our guide was knowledgeable about the Lake, history (both ancient and more recent like the devastating fire in '88), birds, geology and folklore. We were concerned we wouldn't be able to keep up with the group, but it was not a problem. Hours flew by!
