Amazing day seeing SO MANY ANIMALS! - Our guide, William was delightful and knowledgeable. We had an amazing day seeing SO MANY ANIMALS! Starting off with lots and lots of bison, then pronghorns, bighorn sheep, moose, wolves, and a at the end a lone coyote, but also birds including adult and juvenile bald eagles, waterfowl, and my favorite: magpies. The most joyful time was watching the excitement of the folks who make this park part of their everyday lives when a wolf pack was spotted. William followed the wolf experts who were driving around to get the best vantage point. It was wonderful to have his specialized optics and experience spotting (and using territory markers to lead the rest of us to what to look at!). Being in Yellowstone in the winter with snow on the ground made it easier to see animals against the white background for sure. And to see the animal tracks elsewhere as well as the bison digging in the snow to find food was cool. I highly recommend this trip. It was a day to remember and share for a long time and well worth the price.

This experience lived up... - This experience lived up to expectations! We loved spending the day with Mike and all of his years of knowledge about the park are exactly what we wanted in this trip. Great introduction to Yellowstone and its beauty. Definitely will book again with you for another part of the park!

Lisa and Sky’s the Limit... - Lisa and Sky’s the Limit Tours is the perfect tour company to utilize when exploring the lovely Bozeman and Yellowstone areas on your visit. From the moment Lisa arrived we knew were in great hands. Not only was she super accommodating for our family of four (including a 7 and 5 year old), but her knowledge of the area, wildlife and topography was impeccable. Right away she spotted a bald eagle for us, and after that it was off to the races seeing elk, big horn sheep, bison, etc. The Lamar Vley and surrounding Mammoth area was truly breathtaking, and it was a pleasure to visit in the winter time without the crowds. We highly recommend Lisa and her company!

An extremely well organized jaunt through Yellowstone. - Days before the actual trip, I was contacted about some details of various preferences including our meals. This was my introduction to our guide, Jake, who turned out to be personable, knowledgeable, and passionate about the wildlife and offered detailed information about all aspects of the delicate relationship between the native fauna and its surrounding habitat. It seems interesting to me that I, and my two grandchildren, were going on an “animal safari” but there couldn’t be any sort of guarantee whether or not we would see any. Well, we saw plenty, but what if we didn’t? It seems to me that just being there would have been enough….. I wonder if it has ever happened that no significant sighting occurred on one of these trips. The odds would certainly be against it.

Best Winter Wildlife Adventure - We had a blast! First time to the park and this outfit hit a home run. Jake H. Was the best guide we could have asked for. Super professional, Super informative, Super engaged! We saw all the expected wildlife including a wolf pack over a kill site. Jake went above and beyond to show us everything while making us feel like long lost friends. We would highly recommend him and his Team to anyone. FYI - Even the lunch while touring was awesome!

Amazing experience! - Worth the money! Even though we had to reschedule for my birthday, Jake made the trip. He was kind, accommodating and VERY knowledgeable of all things Yellowstone. We saw some amazing animals and were lucky enough to catch some wolves at a great distance on our way back. If you're going in winter, dress warm!!! The catered lunch is great-I got the caprese and the Cali and they didn't disappoint. There is coffee, tea and water too. Jake stopped when we asked and was able to point out the 'sweet spots' of the park. He brought his camera and scope that made things easy for us to see and sent us the pictures afterward! Highly recommend a tour with this agency!

Winter roadtrip adventure - Road trip from Kansas City to Seattle to move my daughter for a new job. We stayed a few nights in Bozeman and wanted to tour Yellowstone while there. I found Sky's the Limit tours with a Trip Advisor search. So glad we booked! Communication before the tour was great with all questions answered so we were well prepared for our private Winter tour. We hit it off with our guide, Tin, and talked about so many things. Her knowledge of the area, park, wildlife was amazing! She knew exactly where to take us. Tin's interaction with other tour guides proved she was respected within that community. We were able to see Bison, Bald Eagles, 3 black wolves, deer, Elk, Bighorn sheep and even a rare sighting of a white Ermine. Also, the lunch provided was very good, and "bio-breaks" were well planned. We would highly recommend using this tour company for your Yellowstone adventure.
