Additional Information

Every private tour we offer is delivered by a seasoned wildlife biologist. We’ll be journeying through the park in a sleek Chevy Suburban. Our mission is to help you sight as many distinctive wildlife species as possible while exploring the park’s most FAMED sites and uncovering lesser-known spots seldom frequented by visitors. During our expedition, we’ll take in the sight of Old Faithful, Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, Yellowstone Falls (308’), variety of wildlife, grand waterfalls, infrequently observed geysers, and a couple of historic hotels. To enhance your viewing experience, we provide premium binoculars and spotting scopes for all participants to spot animals or geysers situated at a distance from the road! The tour is designed to be informative yet engaging and enjoyable for your family/group. Your excursion will expose you to the hidden treasures of Yellowstone that lie in wait around each bend of Yellowstone National Park.

A picturesque picnic-style lunch by the side of Yellowstone Lake will serve as our break for lunch!

10/10 take this tour! - Andrea was a wonderful guide! He was able to answer all of our questions very knowledgeably. The tour took us to all of the hot spots and even some that we wouldn’t have seen on our own. We enjoyed the quiet lunch that was delicious, perfectly timed viewing of old faithful, and several other geyser eruptions. 10/10 would recommend taking this tour!

Amazing Experience! - We had 5 days in the park and did this tour on our first full day. This gave us a deep dive into much of the park and made us far more knowledgeable on how to manage the rest of our visit. Michael was great - super knowledgeable and he managed the day efficiently and with a great attitude. We saw many bison, elk, eagles, and even a grizzly. We also saw many of the thermal features - wow! We were able to see far more in the full day than we ever could have done ourselves. Highly recommend!

A Great Way to See Yellowstone! - We had a great time on our tour. The highlight was watching a pack of wolves make their way along a ridge. The lunch was great and the view for it was beautiful! Would recommend this private tour for a day at Yellowstone to anyone. We were able to see and learn a lot with none of the stress that comes with driving ourselves. Family of 6 adults and 1 toddler in a car seat fit fine but it may be tight fit for a larger/taller family of 7.

Great day in Yellowstone! - Derrick shared his deep knowledge of the ecology and geology of Yellowstone. We avoided the crowds. Great telescope for wildlife viewing. We saw elk, bison, wolves, osprey. We saw many waterfalls, geysers including Old Faithful. He was sensitive to our requests along the way and took us to a beautiful lunch spot for a picnic lunch. Five stars!

VACATION HIGHLIGHT!! - Jeremy was an ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC tour guide! We’re all still reminiscing about this unforgettable day. He has an extraordinary gift for guiding and sharing his passion for Yellowstone, and it's clear he was born to do this. You would think he’s been giving these tours for 15 years or more. Jeremy effortlessly removed the stress of navigating this vast national treasure, allowing us to cover an expansive area we could never have explored on our own. His wealth of knowledge about the park’s history, wildlife, and even the smallest bird facts was nothing short of astounding. Every detail he shared added layers of meaning to our experience. Even the picnic stop for lunch felt like something out of a dream—a perfect moment we’ll treasure forever. The telescope and binoculars were a great bonus (which I am sure we will all be purchasing) since we were traveling light. Jeremy was also fantastic about communicating with other guides from the Yellowstone Adventure Tours team to stay informed about which areas were busy and when, ensuring we had the best experience possible. We never felt rushed, bored, or like just another group on a tour. On the contrary, we didn’t want the day to end and left feeling like we’d made a lifelong friend. If you’re planning a visit to Yellowstone, I can’t recommend Yellowstone Adventure Tours enough. Jeremy knows all the hidden gems and how to avoid the crowds, making your experience truly one-of-a-kind. He even helped me recreate a childhood photo.

Two days touring Yellowstone - We spent two fantastic days with our guide Andrea capturing the sites and the wildlife. We were blown away by the beauty of the park and the animals. Andrea was great, very organized and excellent at finding spots to see bears and wolves as well as many others. He was extremely friendly and nice to be around. Strongly recommended!

Yellowstone, a Montana gem - Our family of 7.5 enjoyed a beautiful day at Yellowstone. Our guide, Carrie was accommodating, informative, engaging, and really made the day quite fun! We had 2 cars which made it challenging but we still enjoyed this beautiful park! It’s a lot of driving but well worth the experience. Also the lunch that was provided was delicious!
