WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone National Park Entrance Gate - North or West Your exact route and itinerary will be determined by your interests, current wildlife sightings, and current weather and road conditions. Our guides are all highly experienced, with thousands of hours in the field, and will expertly tailor your safari to you and your group. Summer is construction season in Yellowstone National Park and sometimes this can impact our tours. Please communicate to your guide what you most wish to see in the park and your guide will do their best to navigate road closures, traffic slowdowns, and construction wait times.
2. Mammoth Hot Springs
Mammoth Hot Springs is a collection of thermal features at the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park. It is best known for the travertine terraces that form from mineral deposits, but there are many other observable geothermal features in this area. The algae living in the pools creates the distinct brownish, reddish colors. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.
3. Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone
At a depth of more than 1000ft (305m), the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River is an impressive sight. Water, wind, earthquakes and hydrothermal features have all worked together to form this area. Two waterfalls are visible from multiple vantage points, Upper Falls and Lower Falls. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.
4. Artist Point
Incorrectly named as the vantage point for Thomas Moran's famous waterfall sketches, the name Artist Point remains to this day. Located on the south rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, this point provides classic views of Lower Falls on the Yellowstone River. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.
5. Lower Yellowstone River Falls
The first photographic depictions of the Lower Falls were made in 1871 during the Hayden Expedition, although Native American tribes have known about the falls for centuries. Cascading roughly 308ft (94m) over volcanic rock, the falls are an impressive sight from several vantage points. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.
6. Hayden Valley
The Hayden Valley is located in central Yellowstone National Park and is home to an abundance of wildlife. The valley floor was once the lakebed of Yellowstone Lake, but is now home to streams, grassy plains and geothermal features. Our safari makes several stops here in search of wildlife. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.
7. Yellowstone Lake
Yellowstone Lake is a fascinating geological wonder. Geologists have discovered underwater geysers, hot springs and fumaroles. The lake itself sits on a bed of constantly shifting geologic activity. The mineral rich deposits in the water support a vibrant ecosystem of plant and animal life. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.
8. Old Faithful
Old Faithful is only one of the roughly 500 geysers in Yellowstone National Park, but it is the predictability of eruptions that earned this geyser its name. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.
9. Grand Prismatic Spring
Grand Prismatic Spring is located in the Midway Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park. The third largest hot spring in the world is most well known for the rainbow effect that the microbial mats create, producing reds, oranges, yellows and greens around the edges of the spring. The blue center is the result of sterile water at great depth appearing blue to the eye. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.
10. Fountain Paint Pot
Fountain Paint Pot, located in the Lower Geyser Basin, is a mud pot most recognized for the reds, yellows and browns that can be seen in the soil. The colors represent varying levels of iron oxidation in the mud. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.
11. Grand Loop Road
The Grand Loop Road provides access to most major highlights in Yellowstone National Park. Our safari makes several stops along this route to search for wildlife and visit notable historical or geological sites. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

The valley lies between the Gallatin Range to the west and the Absaroka Range to the east. It is also a major corridor of the Yellowstone River and is home to diverse flora and fauna as well as geological wonders. Our safari makes a stop here in search of wildlife.

Grant was our guide and it was one of the best tour experiences I’ve ever had. He was super knowledgeable and took us to the best spots in Yellowstone. His route allowed us to avoid the crowds & see the sights up close without any hassle during one of the busiest travel periods at Yellowstone. He was very accommodating with regard to bathroom stops/coffee stops/picture-taking and made the best use of our time with him. Pick up was a mile from our hotel, trip was in a very comfortable van with 5 others and all snacks/drinks/ lunch included. Best money I ever spent. Thank you Grant!

Beautiful scenery, spectacular wildlife, knowledgeable and personable guide! Easy because we didn't have to drive and maneuver around parked vehicles or look for direction signs; the guide knew "all the ropes."

Monica was outstanding. Her knowledge was only surpassed by her love of the land, animals, and her desire to share with all of us. She is a great attribute to your company.

Prompt pickup and return. Good guide and comfortable ride. Amazing experience. Saw grizzlies, brown bears, bison, coyote, elk, and more. Caught Old Faithful and toured most of the main sites. Highly recommend for a first trip through the park.

We were so excited to tour Yellowstone but didn’t want to miss any of the highlights. Randolph went above and beyond to make sure we saw everything we wanted to at the exact right time of the day for best visibility! He was knowledgeable and courteous (even making sure we were walking at a comfortable pace as I’m 26 weeks pregnant). He was easy to talk to and entertained us from Bozeman to Yellowstone and back. We can’t recommend this tour enough!

Incredible tour, great service. Kelsey was the best guide and had so much knowledge about the park and its history. She took us to all the right spots and we never felt rushed at all. She helped us take great pictures and was the epitome of friendly and professional. Picnic lunch and healthy snacks were also fantastic. Highly recommend this tour.

Gabrielle was super friendly, super informed and very conversational, always including everyone. She was very receptive to questions and requests, and took a number of pictures to share when she had a better vantage point.
