We went on a private tour today in Yellowstone with a guide by the name of Mike Lagodny,…read moreOwner/Operator of Montana Yellowstone Tours. Mike was spectacular. We started off with our first stop after less than 10 minutes in a very nice and immaculate Suburban, where Mike showed us a momma owl and her baby. His equipment is such that one can see as if the wildlife are five to ten feet away. I have poor eyesight, but I was able to see everything today with unbelievable clarity -- thanks to Mike's equipment. Within 15 minutes of being inside the park, we next saw an adult grizzly bear up close from the vehicle as we parked on the side of the road (up close, but actually 100 feet away). And it was not 5-10 minutes later that we saw 6-8 adult bison and 5-7 baby bison. We stayed and watched these for over 30 minutes as Mike felt like they would come closer to us. He was spot on as they got within 50 feet of our Suburban. Mike had hot chocolate, coffee, pastries, banana nut bread -- he was the host of all hosts. His uncanny ability to provide exactly what we wanted was second to none. Our most favorite stop was an area with a wolf den, and Mike quickly spotted the mother wolf along with a bear and a bald eagle nearby. After watching the mother wolf lay down for over 40 minutes, Mike suggested we stay patient as he thought there was a great chance the momma wolf might bring her new born pups out ... Sure enough, after being extra patient, and with a bear and elk walking near the mother wolf, she stood up and pulled her small babies out of the den. We saw at least two babies -- possibly three. We were over one mile away, but again, with Mikes high powered equipment it looked as if they were inside of 50 yards from us. We can't express enough just how good of a guide Mike is. He had sandwiches and drinks for us as well. He is a very safe driver and was very gentle with my wife Dana, who had been sick the past three days. Dana and I highly recommend Mike to all who want to explore Yellowstone and see wildlife and sights that must not be missed ... We plan on bringing our grandchildren next time to introduce them to the wonders of Yellowstone. Thanks for everything, Mike! Sincerely, Jim and Dana S.

We spent two days with MacNeil this spring and had an incredible experience touring Yellowstone!…read more We learned about the park and the animals, we heard wonderful stories about MacNeil's experiences as a naturalist and guide, and we found all the animals we hoped to see -- and more! I hope to return to Yellowstone again one day and will certainly book another guided tour with MacNeil because he knows how to find animals and custom designs his tours based on what you want to see in the park! Thank you, MacNeil!

I highly recommend he be your first booking when headed to Yellowstone!!!!

My wife and I just returned from the 5-day Winter Wolf Watch tour and are confident that…read moreYellowstone Wolf Tracker is your best bet for spotting wolves and other wild life in Yellowstone. They may not be the cheapest tour, but they're the best. To start with, the company is owned and operated by Nathan Varley (Ph.D), who participated in the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone in 1995. Our guides, Michelle and Jamie, were extremely knowledgeable about the park and its wildlife and plants/trees. The tour has close connections to the most accomplished biologists studying the Yellowstone Wolves, so they have access to the latest information on the location and activity of the wolf packs. Nature being nature, you can't expect guarantees that you'll see wolves, but we saw 10 wolves from the Eight Mile pack and several from the Junction Butte pack on our first day. We also saw a black bear sow and her two cubs emerge from their den, as well as a fox, mountain goats, big horn sheep, elk, and buffalo. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the evening programs and the evening meal. Chef Zac prepared possibly the best meals we have ever had, anywhere. He really is incredible. Dr. James Halfpenny's presentation on Track Scene Investigation (TSI) was not only educational but fascinating as well. Bob Landis, who won an Emmy Award for his documentary "Wolf Pack" previewed his latest documentary project on the birds of Yellowstone, with his usual outstanding nature photography. The tour provides high quality spotting scopes (Swaroski and Nikon), so there's no need to bring your own, but you'll probably want to bring a decent pair of binoculars. We were very happy with our tour, and recommend them highly.

Even though…read moreI had been to Yellowstone in the past, and thought I knew the sites fairly well, with Cara's in-depth knowledge of the park, its wildlife, the geology and natural history, all together made for a memorable trip. Of course we did get to see a lot of wildlife, and some that I would not have seen on my own, like the wolves and mountain goats, but I came away feeling like I not only had a great time , but learned a whole lot at the same time.

The great thing about Yellowstone is there are so many wonderful options. You can white water raft, hike, zip line, e-bike tours, etc... We booked them all! Sadly, we chose Big Sky E-bike tours. The tour started off great. The owner, Jay was our guide. About halfway into the tour, the it starts. Jay brings up Trump and how attending "Trump's school" was the thing he's most proud of. It was like he needed us to know he was MAGA. Jay followed up at the next stop by telling my family how he and everyone hates Californians because they drive up the home prices. Why did Jay feel compelled to say these things? For the record, I am originally Texas, have lived in Californian for 20 years, don't own or plan on buying property in Montana, and was visiting as a tourist pumping my tourist dollars into the local community. It's a free country. Jay can run his business anyway he likes. So, if he doesn't want to serve people from California and feels compelled to profess his love for Trump, that's cool. I wish he had posted that information on his website and not waited until we were in the middle of a 4 hour tour. I would have respected his honesty and simply booked another company. I don't think this would be bad business for Jay. Marketing exclusively to the MAGA community would probably be great business. Anyway, enjoy your time in Montana. It's truly a magical place and most of the people are absolutely wonderful!

The tour ended at a hot springs with a lot of orange algae on the surface of the pool and black mold around the edges. Regardless of our massive disappointment, we made the best of it being in beautiful Montana. Lunch was a pleasant surprise, very tasty. Just not what we expected based on their website and definitely not worth $200.

We booked the Yellowstone Lower Loop tour, and it was the perfect way to experience the park together. Our guide, Ben, was absolutely amazing! He arrived right on time at 7am with a spacious, super comfortable van fully stocked with everything we could possibly need for a great tour; including binoculars, drinks, and snacks. Ben was friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. He kept the kids interested and made sure the entire group was enjoying themselves throughout the day. He was very accommodating to our interests, always asking if we wanted to stop when wildlife was spotted or if we wanted to take more time at certain locations. His flexibility made the whole day feel relaxed and tailored to us. Lunch was at Old Faithful, and it was a delicious treat; sandwiches, chips, fruit, and the best homemade chocolate chip cookie. Everything was provided and thoughtfully prepared. This was such a memorable and well-organized experience. I will absolutely be booking with Yellowstone Excursions again, whether it's to explore another area or when more friends and family come to visit us in Bozeman.

In addition, she provided turkey sandwiches, crackers, carrots, oranges, hummus for lunch.
