This tour of Yellowstone National Park focuses on where we've seen or heard about wildlife in Yellowstone before your tour, as well as stopping at the other notable and must see features in the park. It is a private tour that holds up to 14 passengers and primarily takes you on either the Lower or Upper Loop of Yellowstone. Wildlife is the focus as we tour your party through Hayden Valley, Gibbon Valley, and/or the famed Lamar Valley: The 'American Serengeti'. We will have a discussion about the best route for your group to enjoy before the tour based on your needs and what we know in the area. Thanks!

Biologists say that wildlife predator populations are currently better than 1872 and we want you to be able to sit back and enjoy the experience without worrying about where and how to drive through Yellowstone. This is your tour and we are happy to accommodate customization as feasible, Thank You!!
