We were 'lucky' enough to visit Lucky 8 ranch for a wedding earlier this month and I have to say, it was one of the most beautiful wedding venues I've ever seen! It's quite a feat getting to the venue, but luckily we had shuttles that took us down the winding roads to the ranch.The ranch is massive and spans 3,000 acres with breathtaking views in every direction. After the ceremony, we headed down to a large heated tent where the party continued. One part that was extra special was that the couple getting married got to brand their initials on one of the fences at the ranch. Everyone we encountered from the ranch staff was wonderful. We absolutely loved our time here, and now I want to come back for the ATVing tour! read more

First-Follow directions to the ranch as given by staff-GPS won't get you there correctly. Second-we took the 2 hour trip in the afternoon. Be prepared to be dusty. Emily and Aly could not have been nicer. Buffalo were so close you could touch them- but don't. Ranch has 500 buffalo, 300 acres. Beautiful views! read more

We did the 2 pm atv ride . Got up close to alpacas and buffalo: awesome rolling hills scenery . Our guide Emily was fabulous read more

We had the absolute best time snowmobiling yesterday at Lucky 8 Ranch. When we arrived, we checked in and were fitted with helmets, googles and boots. (No need to bring your own). We then headed outside for safely instructions and overview of the snowmobile and how to drive it. I have to admit, I was scared out of my mind! The staff was amazing at calming my nerves. Once on the snowmobile we had a fun 2 hours of touring the area and visiting the Bison herd up close. Once in a lifetime experience! The paths were well groomed and at sometimes challenging - which was great! At the end we had a free ride in a wide open area where we were able to let it rip. We visit Steamboat every year and have taken snowmobiling tours in the past. Lucky 8 Ranch is far superior to any other company. Their snowmobiles are top notch and they have the highest safety standards. We will definitely be back! As a side note- the road conditions driving to and from Steamboat were not good. It snowed a lot and even though we had a 4x4, we slid off the road and ended up stuck in a bank. We called a few tow companies but in the end, the owner of the ranch, Dwayne, saved us. We are forever grateful for him and his kindness I highly recommend using their pickup service so you don't experience what we read more

We scheduled in the am, we were picked up at our hotel during a blizzard. We had not only a snowmobile TRIP, we had an adventure!! lots of snow, lots of bison; we were well taught and guided. They do a safe and exciting job, and ours was more exciting than most due to deep snow and limited visibility. highly recommend the Lucky 8 Ranch! read more

Lucky 8 Ranch - Bison snowmobile tour. - ATV Rentals/Tours Near Me - Oak Creek, Colorado

Visiting Steamboat for a week and this was among our favorite activities! I brought my 8yo son and he loved it! We did the 3 hour tour and it was just the right length - a good mix of adventure, information, and fun. Operation was efficient and easy to book. Only suggestion would be to include a snack (which I think was mentioned on their site). read more

We had a great time at Lucky 8 Ranch! Staff was amazing! Nick picked us up at our timeshare and took us up to the ranch. Drive was pretty. They had all the gear to borrow if you need warmer layers. The snowmobiles are very nice and we enjoyed the hand warmers. Seeing the bison at the end of our ride was spectacular!! We will definitely book with Lucky 8 again. read more

It's been three weeks since our amazing family vacation in Steamboat Springs and I can't stop thinking about the wonderful experience we had snowmobiling at The Lucky 8 Ranch. I was going stay behind and not go with my husband and son because I've had some bad snowmobiling experiences. But, then I read about the bison and I really wanted to see the Bison. I was anxious at first, but the team that took us on the tour was outstanding. Our tour guide Nick was the best. Very knowledgeable friendly and professional. He took the time out to explain everything. The views were amazing! This was definitely one of our best family experiences. read more

We absolutely loved our ride with Lucky 8 ranch. They really offer a unique experience bringing you up close to their Bison herd. The trail they ride is well groomed and offers stunning views from the mountain top. We rode with 3 different companies while we were in town and I will say that Lucky 8 has the nicest machines and highest safety standards. As a travel agent I am very picky about recommending tour providers and I would recommend them without hesitation. read more

This is something that everyone will truly enjoy. It's not often that you get up close (safely) to a herd of bison. The ATV tour was through lots of different terrain and lots of fun. The staff was great, equipment well maintained and all went on time. Highly recommend. read more

Awesome tour, wonderful sights, excellent people and service. Cannot recommend this enough. We found out that we needed a third driver for our three kids- only one passenger per machine. They put our third kiddo on the machine with the guide at no charge... really impressed with their professionalism and service. read more

Wonderful tour of bison ranch in 4 passenger ATVs. Keith and Emily were terrific guides providing interesting info about the ranch and bison in US. Gorgeous views and lots of bison photo ops. You will get dusty! We did in summer and apparently they do snowmobile version after snow. One highlight-a very rare white bison! read more

Wow! What an experience of riding through the ranch with amazing views and great education around bison. We were able to drive Polaris Ranger side by sides across a lot of the ranch with breathtaking views. They were easy to handle and the trails were very mild. We went during a very dry patch, so the dust was heavy. It did not "cloud" the fun we had. Our tour took the full three hours, but there were several spots to stop and a bathroom break in the middle. If you are in the area check them out! read more

Amazing experience with awesome guides and free shuttle pick up out to their spectacular ranch. 500 bison plus 2 of only 500 white bison in the world on their ranch. These guys run a perfect outfit. Cannot recommend enough. Worth every penny for the ride, pictures and experience. read more

We booked the sunset tour with our kids 6&7, arrived at the ranch around 6:30 and were greeted by Nick our tour guide/ranch manager. They have a really nice facility/equipment everyone was fitted with helmets, goggles, dust masks and given instructions on how to operate the ATV. We rode for around 2 hours across the 3100 acre ranch up hills, down hills, across creeks through mud etc. We rode through a herd of bison several different times and it was awesome to see them up close within 20ft. Stopped on one of the higher ridges to watch a beautiful sunset and the guide brought sparkling grape juice along with snacks for everyone. The ride back down in the dark was very fun as well. Our entire family loved it and would highly recommend it. They run a great operation and it's obvious they are passionate about what they do. The Ranch is 45 minutes from Steamboat and there is basically nothing in between so get gas etc before you leave we almost ran out but they were nice enough to give us some! read more

What an amazing time our group had here! We've visited Steamboat for many years but this experience tops the list.

AMAZING afternoon at Lucky 8 Ranch. Our party of 9 spanned ages 5-67 and everyone enjoyed it so much. The property is huge and beautiful and I still cannot believe how close we got to the bison. Our guides were so informative and a lot of fun. Cannot recommend this place enough! read more

We had the best time on the Bison Adventure! Our guides were very knowledgeable and made sure the experience was fun!

Took a 12:30 snowmobile tour with Nick on March 6, 2019. First of all, it was a fabulous tour, although foggy we were still able to see the town of Steamboat from where we were. The snowmobiles are brand new and in good condition. The tour guide is knowledgeable about the landscape, the town, and the ranch. I don't know if any other snowmobile tours bring you through a large herd of buffalo, but this one does, and it was absolutely something I will never forget. The adults as well as the children really enjoyed this snowmobile tour. read more
