Gosh, if I had to pick a favorite day out of our three week adventure this would surely be it. We booked our tour with Dave to do the lower loop of Yellowstone Park which I was told would be eight hours. Eight hours for just the LOWER loop! Did you guys know that Yellowstone Park is the same size... More

we recently hired Lava Creek based on their good reviews, debbie's wonderful and friendly personality (over phone) and b/c they were less expensive than other groups we considered. basically, we wanted a tour of yellowstone that would include some hiking and we wanted to learn as much as possible about wildlife, scenery and culture of the area. our tour ended...

We booked our an all day kayak trip to Cliff Lake and was lucky enough to have Debbie as our driver and guide. The booking process was a breeze. Debbie turned out to be the best guide we have ever had. She was friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. As a family of city slickers, she made the all day kayaking fun... More

I visited Yellowstone as a young child with my Parents.It is one of my fondest childhood memories...So, when our Daughter decided to attend college in Seattle, I knew we couldn't travel that direction without spending a few days in the park...As a child, the trip was awesome, but we were just tourists taking in the scenery...I wanted more than that...

Debbie led us on the Quake Lake kayaking trip and I can't say enough positive things about the whole experience. Not only did she instruct us on the correct way to kayak but also gave us the history of Quake Lake and lots of information about the wildlife. She was a pleasure to be with the entire time. I'd highly... More

I love Lava Creek Adventures. Its a private tour of the Yellowstone National Park and we did the Park and Paddle. Half day trip through the Park and the second half of the day is spent Whitewater Rafting in Gardiner. I messed up and thought the day trip took you through the lower loop and Old Faithful. However, the park... More

We (family with 2 teenage boys, not easy to impress) booked the one day park and rafting session with Lava Creek, partly because of good reviews here. We were very pleased with our decision and had a wonderful day that is one of the highest high points of our 3 weeks tour of the USA. David Robinson was a excellent... More

Great overall tour of Yellowstone. Tour guide David was terrific and accomodated our specific needs. The lunch that was catered in was also excellent. All four of us thought that the one day tour was the best part of our trip More

When planning our trip to Yellowstone, I read a glowing review of Lava Creek Adventures and then spoke with Debbie Robinson about our trip. Our decision to hire Lava Creek for a private two day tour was the best decision made and well worth the extra expense. We started our adventure with Debbie , kayaking Hebgen Lake late afternoon for... More

We’d highly recommend Lava Creek to those seeking to learn and stray off the beaten track while having the attentive guidance of an experienced local. We had David Robinson as our guide and found his love and knowledge of nature deep and engaging. David spoke to our varying interests and ages and showed an aptitude for teaching children. He’s one... More
