Overview

This full-day tour begins with hotel pickup in the West Yellowstone area, then travels into Yellowstone National Park for about 8 to 9 hours. A local guide leads the group through the park’s Lower Loop, including stops at Old Faithful geyser where visitors watch eruptions for around 45 minutes. The tour includes a light breakfast and lunch, and binoculars are provided to help spot wildlife such as grizzly bears, bison, and wolves. The itinerary also features several scenic stops: Artist Point offers views of the 308-foot Lower Yellowstone Falls and the rhyolite canyon; Upper Falls lets visitors hear and see the river drop 109 feet. Hayden Valley, accessible from May 7 to November 7, is a key wildlife viewing area along the Yellowstone River. The tour also stops at Fountain Paint Pot in the Lower Geyser Basin to see geysers, mud pots, hot springs, and fumaroles all together. National park entrance fees and bottled water are included. Participants should expect moderate walking and prepare for all weather conditions. The minimum age for guests is 6 years, with private tours available for younger children. Lunch options include turkey, ham, roast beef, or vegetarian sandwiches with wheat or gluten-free bread, which must be specified in advance. Animals of any kind are not allowed on the tour, including service dogs. Travel insurance is recommended for unforeseen issues.
