Our Picnic Paddle is a 6 mile adventure great for couples, families and friends. Choose from a single kayak, tandem or even a triple! After a brief orientation, your guide will lead your group along the shore of Yellowstone Lake, escorting you to West Thumb Geyser Basin. We take multiple breaks at scenic points along the route to stretch our legs and experience the grandeur of the lake. After touring the Geyser Basin, where dozens of geothermal features are visible above and below the water's surface, we will return along the same route, stopping for a picnic lunch and a chance to explore along the shore of the lake, arriving back at Grant Marina around 2PM. Return time may vary depending on group size, weather, fitness, etc.
