Canyon Waterfalls & Wildlife Excursion

Yellowstone Wild tour company is the BEST!! We had a limited time at Yellowstone and booked 2 different tours with Yellowstone Wild! Both were GREAT! Kyle was our Tour Guide on the full-day tour leaving out of the town Gardinar (which we would highly recommend) down to Old Faithful & back (7-5:30). What a day! He was so informative and willing to answer questions from the people on the tour. Would highly recommend this tour & Kyle !! 2nd Day was a 1/2 day (5am-12:30pm) - different part of park to see more Wildlife & the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone! Ryan was our Tour Guide on this tour. Again, What a day! His excitement to share his knowledge and converse with all of us in the vehicle was great! From Tyrene helping us book our tours to Kyle & Ryan being our Tour Guides- this was such a Special experience! We would highly recommend seeing Yellowstone and booking with Yellowstone Wild !!!!

Our Naturalist Guide, gave us an excellent and informative tour experience, taking us to beautiful viewing spots of moose, bears, bison, pronghorn, swans and other flora and fauna! His explanations of the natural wonders, both the science and the history, added so much to our Yellowstone tour. Well worth it and we definitely recommend booking with Yellowstone Wild!

Our first tour was with Aleksa to the canyons and waterfalls. Despite the animal life being quiet in Summer, she managed to find two wolfs, moose, and a grizzly. We had ample time to observe them with her scopes, and she even sent us footage she recorded. She is so knowledgeable not just about the park but shared so much detail about the wildlife and her honest take on how the park is taken care of. Her passion and knowledge were our highlights of this first 7 hour trip - and the hot beverages and lunch were great too.

A very family friendly guided trip through the Northern Loop. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. Yellowstone Wild was very accommodating on our public tour. Our trip started at 5:00am, and within 30 minutes of getting through the gates we saw a large Black Bear. Our 7 hour tour included Grizzly Bear and Cubs, Black Bear and Cubs, Pronghorn Sheep, Bison, Elk, Martin, plenty of birds, Marmot, and the highlight of our trip was experiencing the Wapiti Wolf Pack. We spend around 30-40 minutes watching the wolves frolic through the pasture, at times playing like domestic dogs. The Grizzly with her cubs, and the Black Bear and her cubs were also a highlight. Our kids loved it, they learned about the animals and the return trip we checked out some geological features in the park, waterfalls, Mammoth Hot Springs, and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. If you are looking for a family friendly, accommodating wildlife tour this is your place. Highly enjoyable, and we will return.

We visited Gardiner in mid July, total of 7 staying in a vrbo on the river off old Yellowstone Rd. Like many we considered bailing on the trip due to the flood, but watched the news and checked in frequently with out host and this company. Gardiner has made a tremendous comeback since the floods. While wildly inconvenient for them, we enjoyed the lack of people in town and Yellowstone. Our first tour was with Aleksa to the canyons and waterfalls. Despite the animal life being quiet in Summer, she managed to find two wolfs, moose, and a grizzly. We had ample time to observe them with her scopes, and she even sent us footage she recorded. She is so knowledgeable not just about the park but shared so much detail about the wildlife and her honest take on how the park is taken care of. Her passion and knowledge were our highlights of this first 7 hour trip. We went later in the week on the Old Faithful public tour with Travis. We had another couple with us and we all hit it off. Travis has been leading Yellowstone tours for 9 years and it shows. We thought we'd learned it all from Aleksa, but Travis had just as many facts and as much enthusiasm while he spoke more about the geological features of the park. Its obvious to us that this outfit really can cater to any group with the style of tour that you'd like. We all appreciated the depth of knowledge our guides offered, their own brands of humor to keep us laughing and engaged, and the stewardship they show and advocate for in Yellowstone. I'm sure your mileage will vary with what wildlife you will see; we sure felt lucky. Thank you Aleksa and Travis, and an extra big thank you for Travis finding my wife's water bottle and making sure it got back to us. While they spoke highly of other tours and experiences offered from Gardiner, I don't think we'd look anywhere else.

Because the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park is (was) closed to cars (due to the June 2022 flood) we decided to book guided tours. We were able to participate in the Canyon Waterfalls & Wildlife Excursion on day 1 and the Old Faithful Excursion on day 2. It was the Best 2 Days! Travis was our guide for the wildlife/canyon waterfalls tour. His knowledge and willingness to answer everyone's questions made it a great day. Our second day was with Matt for the Old Faithful Excursion. Matt shared his knowledge and experiences which gave us a fantastic day! There's so much more to Yellowstone National Park than the Old Faithful geyser. In fact, Old Faithful was just okay compared to the other thermal activity we experienced. Participating in these tours gave us more insight to this park than what we would have learned on our own. I highly recommend these tours and Yellowstone Wild company. Now, we want to come back for viewing of wolves in Winter.
