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.

One of the guides, Jamie, was very rude to other guests in the park. He would set up his spotting…read morescope in front of other people visiting Yellowstone, and he tried to gatekeep spotting animals. At one point he seemed to spot something and showed his clients. When a public visitor asked him what he was looking at, he made several rude remarks and refused to show others. I talked to some other guides and they were very kind, but Jamie needs to recognize that Yellowstone is a public park and he doesn't own any of the viewing spots. I would never support a company with employees as rude as Jamie. Also, this company doesn't actually "track" wolves. They drive to parking spots and set up spotting scopes to view them from very far away. You can easily do the same thing on your own; just bring/rent binoculars and stop wherever you see groups of other people looking. Here are some pictures I took on my own without the guides. Just get to Lamar Valley at sunrise and wildlife is everywhere! It's honestly more fun to talk to other guests and spot animals together instead of paying for a rude guide to show you and hide it from others.

Bright and early, but worth it. We communicated with Audra way in advance and shared our desire to do a 1/2 day tour. We didn't have a long stay and wanted to maximize our visit to Yellowstone. She customized our trip exactly the way we wanted. Typically, the tours start very early (5-6a) but since we were coming from Big Sky, we could only meet our tour guide, Spencer, at 7a. It was the most amazing tour. Spencer took us to Slough Creek to see if we could spot wolves. We set up shop, had our binoculars and sure enough after 30 minutes, an entire den of wolves and their pups came out! We then moved over to another spot and witnessed coyotes defending their kill with a lone wolf. It was a sight. Then we saw a herd of bison, and a solo bison crossing the bridge. We saw red tail hawks, a red fox and white mountain. All slights were captured on video by our fabulous expert tour guide, Spencer. Suffice to say, our short visit to Yellowstone was incredible and more than we could ever imagine. Thanks to Spencer! https://lamarvalleytouring.com/

It's these small acts that show that he really cares about the park and wildlife that call it home.

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.
