I was lucky to join this tour, as a solo, I slipped in with two other groups.Tiffany, Alan and Maddie took us along the shore to see the natural wonders at West Thumb Geyser Basin. The guides were fun and knowledgeable. The spread was generous and delicious! Hot coffee/tea with snacks for the paddle out. The lunch was splendid on a beach of onyx and sintered sand. It was The best choice I could've made for a marvelous morning! Don't forget your sunscreen!

Such a wonderful trip! Maddi was an awesome guide and so knowledgeable about the area. She had coffee and a snack ready when we arrived and took amazing pictures of us throughout the tour. The lunch on the beach was a perfect conclusion to the tour before we paddled the last bit back to the marina. Would definitely recommend this tour and having Maddi as your guide!

This was such a wonderful all around experience. Natty was great, knowledgeable about the paddling, the lake and the park. He was easy to talk to and friendly. We had a great group and Natty spent the time to engage with and get to know a little about everyone on our trip. One of my friends was a bit hesitant at first having issues with balance in the kayak, Natty offered a variety of options and was able to work with him through the issue without giving up. My friend was able to paddle. The lunch spread was incredible and impressive. Travel bocci ball was a plus! We had so much fun, it was well worth the price and more. What a peaceful fun way to see some of the park. We were also very appreciative of the care he took with the natural features of the park and the animals, ensuring that none of us got close enough to do any harm. He is a great steward of the park and all its wonderful aspects.
