Matt was a fantastic & knowledgeable guide!

We just returned from the March 6-day winter wolf watching adventure guided by Matt. We were able to watch Gray Wolves interacting with Bison herds three day in a row, which our amenable group called a “Matt-Trick.” We also had two “3 Dog Days” where we saw wolves, coyotes, & red foxes. We just missed a third 3 Dog Day which we would have called a “Matt-Slam.” Maybe next time! Matt was great in anticipating where the Yellowstone Serengeti wildlife would be next and thus, we were able to stay ahead of the “Great Primate Migration” as quoted from Steve Fuller, the esteemed Canyon Lodge winter caretaker. Other viewed animals were Elk, Golden & Bald Eagles, Northern Pigmy Owl, Great Horned Owl, American Pine Marten Weasels, Pronghorns, Big Horned sheep, Moose, Ravens, etc. (this list goes on and on). Yellowstone Wild Tours organized & implemented a great trip, and Matt was a fantastic & knowledgeable guide. Keep up the great work!

Fantastic experience: Evan Watts and Yellowstone Wild

Just returned from a winter photo group workshop with Evan Watts and Yellowstone Wild Tours. Yellowstone delivered an awesome time! Evan is a superior tour guide! He is extremely knowledgeable about the park and wildlife behavior. He found us the best locations for capturing the best photos. His photo instruction was outstanding. The entire trip and the group I joined up with was one of the best I've ever experienced. Highly recommended!!!!

All in all an unforgettable experience!

7 days- 6 nights was the duration of the backpack trekking undertaken by my daughters and me in Yellowstone pristine wildness, under the expert guidance of Emil. We wanted to immerse ourselves in that environment, far away from the crowds and as close as possible to nature. And we really got it! Moose, beaver, loons, ospreys, swans, magical morning fogs, night wolf howling...and that awesome landscape all around us.. Emil was a knowledgeable, expert, watchful and attentive! Even waking me up with a cup of coffee every morning at first light, once he realised that would be a perfect time for me to take pictures! All in all an unforgettable experience!

I cannot recommend Yellowstone Wild and Kyle Moon highly enough

Kyle Moon did an incredible job guiding our group to a variety of wildlife hotspots, and it truly paid off. We hiked out to capture unique angles of moose and trekked uphill for better views of bighorn rams. Throughout it all, Kyle educated us on animal behavior and made sure every moment was handled ethically and safely — both for the group and the wildlife. Kyle provided excellent instruction on positioning, timing, and technique to help us capture amazing shots. He consistently coached us on composition, shared examples from his own camera, and called out helpful settings — shutter speed, ISO, and more — that gave us great reference points in the field. Overall, I cannot recommend Yellowstone Wild and Kyle Moon highly enough. If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience and memories that will last a lifetime, this is it.

We had a wonderful time!

Went on the Yellowstone Wild's Wolves & Winter Wonders tour and had a great time. Laura was an incredibly knowledgeable guide, filling in the long drives with timely and interesting information about the wildlife, geology and ecology of the park. We traveled comfortably in a van and snow coach and had great views of the Lamar Valley and many thermal features of the park including Old Faithful. All said, we had a wonderful time there, many thanks to Laura and Emil for their hospitality.

Absolutely incredible experience!

Absolutely incredible experience! We took the Ultimate Yellowstone - Geysers and Wildlife two-day tour and were lucky enough to have Erik as our tour guide. Erik was super experienced, knowledgeable, passionate, and caring. He constantly amazed us with fascinating insights about nature, and we saw all the wildlife - elk, bison, grizzly, black bear, wolf, coyote, big horn sheep, osprey, mule deer, moose, bald eagle, prong horn, and goose - during the second day. The refreshments (coffee, hot chocolate, snacks, lunch, and crackers!) were also fantastic. The best spotting telescopes gave us exceptional views of the wildlife. If you’re thinking about taking a tour, I can’t recommend Erik highly enough – he made our trip unforgettable!

Experience of a lifetime!

We had the most amazing experience viewing the Yellowstone wildlife with Ty as our guide! She picked us up from our hotel right on time and immediately started getting to know us - even at 5 am. She was personable and enthusiastic, and we felt that she immediately set out to make sure we had the experience that we wanted. She was an educator above all else and made the learning and viewing experience fun for our 11 and 8 year old girls - and us, too. We really felt her become part of our family for the day, but a member that was far more useful than the rest of us :) Her knowledge of the area, equipment, and constant communication with the other guides ensured that we saw wolves and their pups, grizzly bears, a black bear, and bison migrating to the rut. Truly amazing experience and the highlight of our 2-week national park road trip!

What an amazing, memorable, educational, and fund experience we had!

I highly recommend Yellowstone Wild! We (a family of 5 adults) had 4 (four) wonderful PRIVATE tours with Yellowstone Wild at the end of December 2024. Three of the tours were Wolf and Wildlife Tours and one was a Snowshoe excursion (which also included wildlife viewing as it occurred in the Lamar Valley). Each tour was superb! We had 3 different guides (Laura, Erik, and Evan) who were so accommodating and knowledgeable, The guides wanted us to see as much as possible and focused on finding our personal interests (wolves, elk, moose, fox, birds, bison, whatever). Lunches were great with sandwiches, condiments, and healthy side items (hummus, carrots, cheese sticks, protein bars, fruit bites, and more), juice boxes, water, hot coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. What an amazing, awesome, memorable, educational, and fun experience we had! Thank you, Yellowstone Wild!

Great tour with Yellowstone Wild and Alexa!

The four of us had a great tour with Yellowstone Wild on 1/14/25 with Alexa. The sightings were exceptional that day. About five Wolves were maneuvering among the Elk and Bison in one spot. Quite a sight to see. Alexa expertly handled all aspects of the tour. We got to see about 20 species in all and learned a huge amount about this magical place. Wintertime is a great time to have the experience with far less crowds. Her (Aleksa's) knowledge of the parks and its wildlife are outstanding.
