An unforgettable experience with Hayden Valley Nature Tours - Brian is one of the most knowledgable guides I have ever met. He is very down to earth and all inclusive. Yellowstone is the best place in the world to see the wild wolves. If you love wolves, grizzlies, coyotes, and other critters, book a tour with Brian. He knows where to find the animals. Once you see a wild wolf, you will never forget it. Truly an incredible experience with Hayden Valley Nature Tours! Natasha B.

Absolutely Awesome! Choo$e Wi$ely!! 😊 - My family and I are regulars at Yellowstone. We’ve been on several tours over the years. I must say, Hayden Valley Nature Tours was absolutely spectacular. Our guide Bryan seemed to have an uncanny ability to locate all the animals. We’ve never had a guide find moose, bison, elk, longhorn sheep, deer, mountain goats, and my personal favorite the wolves all in one tour! Apparently he does all the tours personally, and it shows. We rode in a very comfortable gmc Yukon with coffee, snacks, bottled water, soda, sandwiches. You name it, they had it! The kids, wife, and I were very happy. We’ve never repeated a tour with the same company but next time we take a tour it will be with Hayden Valley Nature Tours. Choose wisely!

A Perfect Introduction to Yellowstone in Winter - Brian was an exceptionally accommodating and knowledgeable guide. His genuine passion for wildlife and the natural world made our first winter visit to Yellowstone truly unforgettable. We’ve already recommended Hayden Valley Tours to friends and family back home, and we will absolutely be booking with Brian again for a future summer trip.

Winter wildlife at its best! - This was by far one of the best tours I have booked. Brian was very knowledgeable of all of the wildlife he showed us and knew where to find them. It was a private tour so there was a lot of individual attention given to us including use of the binoculars and scope and sharing photos and videos he had taken for us. We were extremely pleased and would recommend booking with him!

We saw all the bison. - I knew I wanted to see Yellowstone in the winter but I did not want to drive and I so glad I didnt. Brian our tour guide and driver was great. We felt safe and secure in the SUV, he provided snacks and coffee for the trip. It was a very smooth and comfortable ride on the icy and snowy roads in Yellowstone. We saw elk, deer, bison and sheep. Unfortunately no wolves but it was not for a lack of trying. He was working with the wolf tracker trying to get us a picture and view, but the wolves did not want to show the faces. On the way back we got stuck in a bison jam which was really cool and nerve racking at the same time, again glad Brian was driving and not me. He moved with caution and safety. It was a great tour and a good day. I would recommend the tour company and check them out again in the future.
