Had a blast! Would do it again in a heartbeat! - This kayak tour was great! I went on my own for the sunset trip and had a blast! The guide was great, and he explained basic techniques in the beginning which helped a lot! He had everything we needed and had lots of information about Lake Yellowstone and kept the tour very interesting.

Great evening kayaking on Yellowstone Lake! - We loved our evening kayaking on Lake Yellowstone! I’m so glad we discovered this fun adventure. Our guide, Spencer was great; well versed in Yellowstone factoids and happily encouraging. I had kayaked before but not on sea kayaks and they differ from IK’s so there was a little learning curve, but I got the hang of it pretty fast. I’m a woman in my late 60’s and managed the trip myself even when the wind picked up so I encourage people to check this great trip out! Well priced and such fun!

Beautiful Sunset Kayaking - I went on the sunset kayaking tour with guide Spencer. He is top notch! He's attentive and interacts with everyone, also provided safety tips for hiking or doing other activities in Yellowstone. I enjoyed listening to the history and events of the park. The entire experience was beautiful and relaxing. I got to see an American bald eagle and the west thumb hot springs up close. I highly recommend this tour!

Phenomenal! - From booking that required a text to the owner, who replied quickly, to the kayak experience, everything was an amazing experience. Matt, our guide, was knowledgeable, laid back, and very confident the entire trip. He definitely helped make memories. I will definitely endorse this adventure and this company to all who are interested. Thank you to all involved that helped check off another adventure on my bucket list. Great experience all around.

100% recommend to use Shurr Adventures during your visit at Yellowstone National Park! - 100% recommend to use Shurr Adventures during your visit at Yellowstone National Park! Spencer was a great tour guide. His instructions before and during the tour were clear and with a strong safety mindset (there was a chance for thunderstorms, but he had multiple contingency plans ready). He also used humor to lighten the mood and get people excited about the paddling the West Thumb. During the tour, he educated the group about the history of the lake and some of the things that makes this place so special. Spencer’s attitude and knowledge of the lake made the trip that much more fun. This was a great way to spend a few hours and get a different point of view of the hydrothermals you normally wouldn’t see from the shore or boardwalk. Book today!

Wonderful experience in Yellowstone - The experience was really great. It is beautiful lake and very peaceful. Not a lot of boats or other kayakers. Our tour guide. Spencer went above and beyond and really helped us out when the waves got bad.

Best Tour Guides - Great Experience - I've been trying to do activities outside my comfort zone. With little experience, I was slightly nervous about kayaking on a lake as big as Yellowstone. My husband didn't make me feel any better when he almost immediately tipped over. As a joke, I told our guide I wanted to go in a tandem kayak with him. He was more than happy to do so, to my surprise. Spencer & Megan were amazing guides! Going above & beyond to make everyone feel comfortable & confident. They made sure everyone was safe at all times & kept us all entertained. Kayaking quickly became one of our trip highlights. I would highly recommend taking this tour even if you have no experience kayaking.
