Yellowstone River Kayaking
Big, beautiful and free-flowing, the Yellowstone River rolls along the north boundary of Yellowstone National Park through the many rapids of upper Paradise Valley. This is a wonderful river for all ages and a perfect river for a first time kayaker.
The Yellowstone warms up nicely by mid-summer. There are numerous eddies and rapids for a beginner to play in that are fun, but not intimidating. By mid-summer big, river-smoothed rocks start showing up that make a challenging maze for new paddlers.Yellowstone Half Day Kayaking
Our sit-on-top kayak trips are designed for first time paddlers or paddlers with little or no river experience who want to learn about kayaking a river and experience the challenge of reading and running rapids in their own boat. Our seasoned instructors will teach the basics of equipment, safety and whitewater technique on the beach and in a quiet eddy out of the current, and then guide you down an appropriate stretch of river. Kayaking trips are offered July 1st through September.$59 (Adults only)
Minimum of 2 people per trip
Yellowstone Full Day Kayaking
In the morning we'll start you off on our class II section of the river, learning how to move in and out of the current, using different paddle strokes to control the boat, and potentially practicing how to exit and get back into the boat. After a delicious deli style lunch and a relaxing digestion period, we'll take you to the next level and let you put those newly learned skills to the test in class III whitewater.After lunch, kayakers can decided whether they would like to kayak or join a raft for the class III section. Participants must be in good physical shape and be willing to swim in the river.
