Yellowstone National Park is one of America’s great treasures. This full day safari will show off the highlights of this incredible place; volcanic thermal features, giant waterfalls, diverse wildlife, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, and Yellowstone Lake.

Throughout the day we will drive scenic roads, walk historic boardwalks, enjoy the peace of natural landscapes and use our optics to view wildlife. Your guide is your driver, and their goal is to cover as many of Yellowstone’s famous features as they can in a day.

The guides at Yellowstone Safari Co. will make every effort to showcase as many highlights as possible, and will structure the day around making your experience a memorable one. They will take current road conditions, weather, seasonality, and your personal interests into consideration as they move through the park.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone National Park West Entrance Gate 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. Firehole River
The Firehole River is surrounded by geothermal features, which heat the water flowing in, effectively increasing the average water temperature of the river. Despite the high mineral content from the geothermal heated waters, the Firehole River supports robust aquatic life, including brown trout and rainbow trout.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
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. 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.
8. Upper Falls
As the Yellowstone River flows north out of the Hayden Valley, it flows over the Upper Falls, before continuing on to the Lower Falls. These two falls highlight distinct geological differences found in the layers of canyon rock.
9. 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.

Kelsey with Yellowstone safari co: was the best tour guide i / we have ever had with Viator!
Extremely knowledgeable about the park’s natural and social history, wild life, and was able to hit all the greatest sites of the park . Kelsey was very personable, friendly, and enthusiastic the entire several hours we were in the park. She loves her job and it shows! Had plenty of snacks and cold drinks (wow, the park was hot the tour day), lunch was really good and we had great picnic spot by Yellowstone river. We saw lots of wildlife (a bison swimming and a bull elk running in front of us were 2 highlights). Kelsey was very attuned to everyone’s comfort and answered all of the questions thoughtfully.
It was awesome she could give us insiders tips : where to stand to get the best unobstructed views for old faithful and the lower falls / Grand Canyon of the park. And offered to take pictures of the family at every site . Give this woman a raise!

This was our first time to the park and it was so nice to have Hannah driving, navigating and sharing information instead of doing this on our own. There were snacks and water available throughout the trip and a nice picnic lunch. The park was busy but Hannah was able to take us to all the places promised. She was very knowledgeable and attentive to our every need. The van was comfortable and roomy for us. She took us to many of her favorite places and explained why. She also gave us information of other places to visit if we returned on our own. We definitely had a great day in the park!

Got to see many wild animals and Old
Faithful but no other geysers. Saw many other hot springs
and mud pots. We were impressed with the Old Faithful Inn
and its architecture out of native logs. The gift shop was really
nice and full of wonderful things to look at and enjoy. The sack lunch
was lacking since the bread was very dry and no mayonnaise.

The tour was top notch. Our guide was very prepared, knowledgeable and timely. She made sure we saw all highlights on the route but gave us plenty time to sit and enjoy the ride as well. She also managed our time to make the best schedule to maximize the sites we were able to see.

This was such a great experience all made possible by our guide, Gypsy. He had a great sense of humor along with a wealth of knowledge about the park. Group size is limited to 12, so it becomes a fun group. We saw all the highlights of Lower Loop. It was a really great day in the magnificent park!
