The boat was fabulous and had everything we wanted and needed - and more - including very thoughtful / pro level additions such as a dual rod holder along the side rail. Moreover, Tom was super cool about working around our schedule. He always kept me in the know and even did extra work on his own to source actionable river intel / information for my party, ahead of our arrival. I've been renting rafts and drift boats for DIY floats for the last 20 years, and I can say this was honestly the best rental experience I've ever had. THANK YOU BBR!

My wife and I loved how easy it was to pop up the top (seriously takes 5 seconds to put up and take down) without the hassle of needing to tow a trailer. It was also plenty warm in the top at night, and we loved being able to store our gear in the cab that we could access without needing to get out. The Jeep was super clean and we really appreciated the cooler and folding chairs that Alyssa had in the Jeep all ready for us when we picked up the car. We didn't need to do any offroad driving but the Jeep handled great on the roads, even at highway speed. Thanks a ton Hatch for a great experience, can't wait to use one of these sweet setups again in the future.

Simms directed me to their West location of The River's Edge- across from the Simms Production Facility. We were greeted upon entry, but were given time and space to openly browse, which we always appreciate. All of the staff were warm and friendly. We asked for assistance to explore and try on various waders. I forewarned them that it was going to be quite the adventure. The salesman Jack, was totally awesome!!!! He took the time to listen to my positive 30 year history with my custom Simms waders as well as my current needs and preferences. This was not a 911, as my waders are still performing. It was more of a proactive possible purchase visit. Jack was extremely knowledgable, patient, and committed to helping me. He knows the product line and referenced the posted size charts. He remained personable and did not grow weary despite the number of waders he retrieved and repackaged. Jack also had me try on the available sample neoprene footies in various sizes. At his suggestion, we brought in both pairs of my wading boots. Sorry about the dried up gravel :0). With Jack's full support, I was able to leave with a pair of woman's G3 waders feeling fully satisfied that I was given the time, patience and attention that I needed. I am a very grateful lady!

We took a tour with Yellowstone Safari Company on 9.28.26 and it was an incredible experience! Our…read moretour guide, Kyle, was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about Yellowstone, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. He was punctual and did an excellent job keeping everyone on schedule, which can be challenging with a public tour. His timing for lunch and our visit to Old Faithful was perfect. Kyle also took us off the beaten path to discover some amazing, less-crowded areas of the park that we might not have experienced on our own. I would highly recommend Yellowstone Safari Company and especially Kyle, to anyone looking to explore Yellowstone. He truly made our trip memorable!

I'll start by saying this was one of the best tours we have ever been on, and I do not say that…read morelightly. If I could give our guide, Elena, infinity stars, I would. When you book (and you absolutely must), ask for Elena. She was not only an absolute joy to be around, but she is incredibly knowledgeable. She knew exactly where to go and when based on the weather, and she is a true expert in all things Yellowstone: the wildlife, the thermal features, the geology, the history. I could go on and on. My husband and I were celebrating my 50th birthday the day of our tour, and I could not have asked for a more magical day. We were a little nervous since it was shoulder season, but those worries disappeared the moment we got started. From the first stop to the last, it was nothing short of spectacular. We were fortunate to see an incredible amount of wildlife throughout the day, but two moments stood out above the rest. First, watching a herd of bison, including a precious newborn calf, was breathtaking. Then came the showstopper: a bear emerging from hibernation. Elena spotted what looked like a tiny dot on a distant cliffside, sprinted to her vehicle to grab a telescope, and within minutes we were watching that bear in real time. It was one of those moments you genuinely cannot believe you are witnessing. That brings me to another wonderful perk of this tour. In addition to the binoculars provided to each guest, the guides carry high-powered telescopes they set up quickly and effortlessly, so you can truly see the wildlife up close. It makes a world of difference. This is a tour we will never forget, and we are already planning to come back in the summer with our daughter. You better believe we will be requesting Elena. You can tell she loves every single thing about what she does, and she is all heart. Five stars is not enough. One million stars, minimum.

The van was roomy with big windows, perfect for seeing the sights. The lunch spread was perfect and he made sure to accommodate bathroom breaks and anything specific we wanted to try and see. We all had a great time and loved how hassle free it was to get through the park so we could focus on the beauty around us. Highly recommend!

Our experience with UCO was amazing!…read more We (my wife and I and another couple) did the half-day horseback ride and lunch one day. Timber and Hannah were outstanding wranglers. They provided excellent instruction and took us through varied terrain. Our horses were the best! After riding the open valley we ascended up a creek trail and had a nice lunch up high. A few days later we did a full-day of guided fishing on the Ruby. So glad we did! We learned so much from Isaac and Ben. Landed at least 10 apiece. Massive browns, a few rainbows and whitefish and man did they fight! Lost a few big ones too! These guys were such experts. They were great coaches and fine gentlemen. UCO is first class in our book!
