Additional Information

Our Wildlife Excursions are directed by a seasoned wildlife specialist who has devoted years to Yellowstone guidance.

From your place of stay, we set forth to the northern stretch of Yellowstone, known widely as one of the world’s premier locations for glimpsing wildlife. This region is teeming with formidable bison herds, packs of wolves, and freely roaming bears. Park visitors invariably leave the northern territories with one or numerous species marked off their wildlife checklist. Yellowstone conjures images of an expansive, untouched wilderness, brimming with large carnivores, herds of bison, legendary geysers, and stunning geothermal landscapes.

We will pause along our journey to engage in easy, family-friendly hikes to hidden lakes or waterfalls. In the middle of our excursion, we’ll take time for a picturesque picnic lunch.

If time allows, we will also explore the Mammoth Hot Springs’ boardwalks.

Note: an early morning start is recommended to enhance our wildlife-spotting opportunities.

Memorable Adventure - Andrea is truly a wealth of knowledge and somehow kept everyone engaged for the whole entire day! We have teenagers and an 8 year old which can be tough to keep everyone interested but he did so with ease. He is so passionate about his business; his excitement is contagious. We saw plenty of wildlife, navigated varying weather (snow-sun-sprinkles), took a beautiful hike, saw some of Yellowstone’s famous geographical highlights…this was a memorable trip for the whole family!

Best Yellowstone experience! - I cannot say enough how much my family and I enjoyed having Andrea as our Yellowstone tour guide for our very first trip! He showed us so much that we would not have picked up on without a professional guide. He was professional and very personable. He answered all of our questions and we really enjoyed the day with him! It was worth every penny!

Yellowstone Wolf Packs - Andrea was a great guide and we saw and photographed 2 wolf packs (the “shrimp” and “rescue” packs) as well as 15 mountain goats in a group, a herd of bighorn sheep, several lone coyotes, and of course many bison and elk. We also did a very nice hike. Andrea is very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and is very passionate about Yellowstone Park. Without Andrea we would never have found the wolves, goats and sheep. You really need a guide with the proper equipment, connections and knowledge. He is a very professional guide and a nice guy.

AMAZING private tour!!! - What an amazing time we had on our private tour of Yellowstone!! This was our first time traveling here and our group of 6 knew that we wanted an experienced guide to take us around since we had no idea where to go. We chose wisely!! Our guide Andrea was so knowledgeable and knew exactly where to take us to have a once in a lifetime experience. He specializes in wildlife biology and we learned so much about so many things! During our all day tour, we saw a ton of wildlife, waterfalls, lakes, breathtaking views, and he even had an incredible picnic prepared for our group. Andrea was also just an amazing person in general and we enjoyed getting to know him throughout the day. If you can request to have him, I recommend you do so! You won’t be sorry!! I hope we can come back another time and see more of Yellowstone. If and when we do, we won’t hesitate to book another private tour, and of course request Andrea!!

Better than I could have imagined! - Our guide, Andrea, was all I could have hoped for in a guide. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife (as you’d expect in a wildlife biologist) and the history of the park. We were able to hit all the “must see” sites and managed to spot a grizzly, bison and elk. The car was new and well equipped, including binoculars and spotting scopes. Andrea stocked it with a bounty of snacks and drinks; you don’t need to pack your own. The company is very easy to work with and accommodating. You really don’t have to plan a thing. We will absolutely hire them again when we return to the park.

Our Amazing Yellowstone Tour - The views were gorgeous ! Seeing the wild life was amazing! From seeing the bears to spotting a wolf pack to the waterfalls, this trip was perfect. Every one was surprised when Nathan spotted the mama grizzly and her cubs in the dark. Nathan went above and beyond in making sure we were comfortable and answered all of our questions. His fun facts were very interesting and entertaining. We would rate the tour a ten out of ten if we could and will recommend to our family and friends.

Andrea is FREAKING AWESOME - I cannot rave enough about how amazing Andrea made this tour for us. It felt like he made it so unique and special for us as they let you customize your tour for what you want to see the most. He gave us a super special opportunity to go to his secret spot to watch a family of bears off in the distance and that was the absolute coolest experience in the world. Andrea was so knowledgeable as well and provided us with the background of everything we saw in Yellowstone. We even went to a gorgeous picnic area and had a fabulous lunch and he just became part of the group almost as a good friend that was taking us on this adventure lol We all absolutely adored him and everything he offered us…. If you are visiting Yellowstone and wanting to go in a tour like this… then go with this company and this guide, you will get a unique experience seeing Yellowstone that not every tour offers and it won’t be in a big group like a lot of the other tours that are offered. He took us to all of the secret spots along with some noticeable ones but the secret ones are worth seeing even more than the famous sites. Highly suggest just seeing those on your own and going on this one of a kind experience with Andrea and his company. Thank you sooooo much Andrea!! You are the freaking best and I truly mean that 😄❤️

Couldn’t have asked for a better tour experience! Can’t wait to go out again! - Our group cannot stop raving about this tour! Andrea was so knowledgeable, friendly, professional and made a mean turkey sandwich! He spotted bears and bison that all of us missed! He knew exactly where to go for the best sightings! Wonderful day seeing and learning about Montana’s wildlife!! Highly recommend!!
