Geyser Kayak

Ethan is a Michigan native and student-athlete at the University of Michigan, studying Sport Management in the School of Kinesiology. He’s back for his second season with Geyser Kayak and Off-Grid Experiences, returning as a tour guide while stepping into a new role as Operations Manager intern — learning the business side while still doing what he loves: getting people out on the water and showing them a great time. Off the clock, Ethan’s in the gym, on the slopes, or back on the water. High-energy and always up for a good time, he’s the kind of guide who turns a kayak tour into the highlight of your trip.

Ben is from Alabama. He fell in love with the mountains on a trip to Glacier National Park in 2021, and has been living, working, and exploring in the Yellowstone area every summer since. It is his second season guiding kayak tours for Geyser Kayak. He loves spotting wildlife and talking and learning about animals, plants, and geology. In his free time if he’s not running or hiking in the mountains, or looking for animals, he’s probably playing banjo or doing online schoolwork.

Originally from Colorado, Brian transplanted to the west slope of the Tetons in 2006 in search of a deeper snowpack and has resided in the Driggs, Idaho area ever since.

He has been guiding kayaking tours of the lakes of Yellowstone National Park for Geyser Kayak Tours since 2015 and brings professionalism and international expedition experience to the team.
