5Highlight of the trip!
We had a great tour with Adam! He taught us all about the area, found amazing animals and answered our boys 100+ questions! Highlight of our Yellowstone trip!

Adam was excellent! He was knowledgeable, accommodating, pleasant....This tour was worth every penny! We saw many different species of wildlife, and learned about different areas of the park.
5Great day, v knowledgeable guide
We had a great experience with John. The highlights included seeing a black bear foraging and a herd of pronghorn - the use of the scope was helpful to see more details of the animals. John was very knowledgeable of the wildlife as well as the geology of Yellowstone. This felt like an added bonus to a trip centred on wildlife. The tour was a good pace and John let us decide when to move on from a particular sighting we were enjoying. He was able to answer our many questions and was good company for the day! Lunch was also a very good size.

John was a fantastic guide! Extremely knowledgeable and personable. My sons and I had the best day seeing wildlife in Yellowstone with him!
5Amazing tour!
This was the most amazing tour. Adam was amazing. He communicated with us prior to the trip. He picked us up at our Airbnb. His determination and dedication to finding us as much wild life was top notch. He was full of knowledge and facts about Yellowstone. Our provided lunch snd snacks was perfect. We would highly recommend this company and the tours they offer.
5Yellowstone Family Adventure
The trip was better than we expected. We were a family of 7 with our youngest being 8. Our driver, John, was fantastic. He coordinated with fellow park rangers to identify a pack of wolves, turning us around to put us in a position to see the pack of wolves. We also saw a grizzly bear, and many of the common animals. Our guide John knew virtually every fact or answer to every question we had. Every one of us learned a lot while on our excursion. This was the highlight for our family (kids ranged from 22 to 8). The vehicle was very comfortable, had large windows and the snacks and lunch were wonderful. Highly recommend.

About West Yellowstone
West Yellowstone is a small Montana town at the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park, ringed by forested mountain country and rivers.
West Yellowstone sits at about 2,000 metres on the Montana side of the Idaho border, right at the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Its streets of log-fronted shops, motels and restaurants serve the park, and a museum in the old railway depot tells how early visitors arrived by train. A wildlife centre cares for grizzly bears and wolves that cannot be returned to the wild.
