Our wildlife tour with Kyle was the highlight of our Yellowstone trip! - Kyle, our wild life tour guide was excellent! The time we spent with him in Lamar Valley was the highlight of our Yellowstone trip. He picked us up at the lobby of the Mammoth Spring Hotel at 5 AM. Thanks to the early morning start, we were able to see a pack of wolves hunting bison and giving chase, we saw black bear and grizzly bears with cubs, and lots of elk and bison with calves. Kyle was very kind, and he genuinely enjoyed sharing his knowledge of the wildlife, plants and the ecological history of Yellowstone.
Kyle has been a guide in Yellowstone for 10+ years. He started his own guide company this year and so that’s why he has so few reviews. So I would not let that influence your decision whether to go with Kyle. If my family and friends asked for a recommendation for a wildlife tour guide. I would highly recommend him.

Best of the Best!! - Kyle runs a small, wholly-owned business and conducts tours himself. He is so knowledgeable about all things Yellowstone it is just amazing. You will see all of the animals that are out and about as well as the best sites throughout the Park. It is clear that Kyle loves his work, loves animals and devotes his life to understanding and respecting the natural environment. All of us cannot remember ever having a better guided tour! Thanks Kyle!

Yellowstone Exposures. A great tour run by Kyle. - My wife and I met our guide, Kyle, at the West Yellowstone visitor centre at 5.00 am. We then headed off into the park and then north into the Lamar Valley where we saw most things on our wish list. Plenty of Bisons, Elk, Bighorn sheep, Mule deer and some Coyotes and Wolves. We also saw a number of Black bears and cubs. Kyle had a telescopic lens which he attached his phone enabling us to obtain some great photographs of the animals. Lunch provided sitting next to a stream in a beautiful picnic area. Kyle was very knowledgeable on the park and its wildlife and fauna. He is also a passionate photographer and bird watcher, in particular owls which he highlighted with a nesting pair in Mammoth township. Had a great tour and as such highly recommend Kyle.

Private Tour with a Yellowstone Explorer - Kyle was an amazing Host / Tour Guide! Kyle graciously chose a morning meeting location that was convenient for us - which was very kind of him. Kyle’s hospitality throughout the day was very appreciated. Kyle was very thorough when answering questions, and provided full spectrum answers. Kyle took us to several Hot Springs, Waterfalls, and Mud Pots! Kyle did a very good job of taking us to locations that we would’ve never seen without him. Midday Kyle treated us to a small picnic, and allowed our kids to have some free play time afterwards. We spent 8 hours with Kyle, and it was well worth it! From the personal nature photos that he shared, to the scenic views, and personal insights, Kyle was a top tier guide! At the end of our tour, Kyle gave us advice on where we could find Moose; low and behold, later that day, we visited his “Moose location”, and we got to see 4 Moose grazing by the River! What a wonderful time we had, and Kyle was a very big part of us enjoying Yellowstone! Thanks Kyle!

Excellent Guide Exceptional Views! - Our tour guide Kyle was an absolute joy to have as a guide!! I was worried that we would not have the opportunity to see a number of ‘must see’ Yellowstone sites but as Lu k and weather aligned, we were able to get to every location on my list! Yellowstone has been on my bucket list for a while and my father in law is turning 70 this year and I thought what better way to celebrate than to be immersed in nature surrounded by the vast beauty of all things Yellowstone!! Kyle was such a knowledgeable guide, making sure to share information about the geo thermal environment, wildlife and historical events that created the beauty that we were witnessing! We were fortunate to experience Yellowstone during non peak season, we didn’t have to worry about crowded pathways or capturing the perfect spot unobstructed from groups of people to capture the perfect picture to freeze the moment in time!! We hit all of the Yellowstone highlights and were fortunate to see several bisons even two walking on the side of the road! Kyle’s knowledge of the area was impressive, there is not a book nor audio guide that would have given us the experience we had with Kyle! Not only was the tour of Yellowstone great, the lunch that was provided was delicious and filling!! We started the morning with tasty blueberry muffins, there were great snacks and water available throughout the tour and the sandwiches and chips were absolutely delicious!! To top it off, he even had cookies not only were a favorite for the kids, the adults loved them too!! What I appreciated most about our Yellowstone tour was Kyle made you feel like family, he was personable, kind and knowledgeable. Kyle exudes the type of energy and love for what he does that I couldn’t imagine experiencing Yellowstone any other way!!

Great experience in Yellowstone - Had an AMAZING experience. Kyle, from Yellowstone exposures, showed us the best spots and bent over backwards to make sure we saw everything we wanted - wolves, bears, coyotes, moose, elk, eagles, even owls and a pine martin! Nice picnic lunch at some of the most scenic spots in Yellowstone. Kyle made sure we were comfortable and built the whole itinerary around what we wanted to do/see. Had so much fun the first day, we booked him for a second day while we were there. Would highly recommend to anyone going to Yellowstone.
