20 minutes
Mammoth Hot Springs
Mammoth Hot Springs is a collection of thermal features at the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park. It is best known for the travertine terraces that form from mineral deposits, but there are many other observable geothermal features in this area. The algae living in the pools creates the distinct brownish, reddish colors. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.
45 minutes
Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone
At a depth of more than 1000ft (305m), the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River is an impressive sight. Water, wind, earthquakes and hydrothermal features have all worked together to form this area. Two waterfalls are visible from multiple vantage points, Upper Falls and Lower Falls. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.
45 minutes
Artist Point
Incorrectly named as the vantage point for Thomas Moran's famous waterfall sketches, the name Artist Point remains to this day. Located on the south rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, this point provides classic views of Lower Falls on the Yellowstone River. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.
30 minutes
Lower Yellowstone River Falls
The first photographic depictions of the Lower Falls were made in 1871 during the Hayden Expedition, although Native American tribes have known about the falls for centuries. Cascading roughly 308ft (94m) over volcanic rock, the falls are an impressive sight from several vantage points. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.
30 minutes

Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.
30 minutes
Yellowstone Lake
Yellowstone Lake is a fascinating geological wonder. Geologists have discovered underwater geysers, hot springs and fumaroles. The lake itself sits on a bed of constantly shifting geologic activity. The mineral rich deposits in the water support a vibrant ecosystem of plant and animal life. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.
30 minutes
Old Faithful
Old Faithful is only one of the roughly 500 geysers in Yellowstone National Park, but it is the predictability of eruptions that earned this geyser its name. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.
45 minutes
Grand Prismatic Spring
Grand Prismatic Spring is located in the Midway Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park. The third largest hot spring in the world is most well known for the rainbow effect that the microbial mats create, producing reds, oranges, yellows and greens around the edges of the spring. The blue center is the result of sterile water at great depth appearing blue to the eye. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.
45 minutes

Great way to see upper loop of Yellowstone in one day.
Published on Oct, 2024
We were able to see all the major things we wanted in one day. Lots of wildlife too - bison.elk, bear. Fox and more. Randolph was a very knowledgeable guide and we learned so much. Snacks amd lunch were good too.
Incredible day trip!

Monica was excellent! Accommodating, responsive, knowledgeable, timely, and safe! She knew so much about park and wildlife! I felt like I was in an interactive lesson all day but she only educated when we asked for it allowing us space and quiet time throughout the day to just take in the scenery and experience! Snacks, lunch, and drinks were great too! Highly recommend!
Great guide! Well worth it.

Our guide was great! The ride was comfortable. Great lunch and snacks. It was nice to be part of a smaller group instead of a big bus. He took us to all the best spots and had a lot of information to share. Impressed of his knowledge of the science behind it. Also, he was great at spotting wildlife!

Amazing time in Yellowstone
Published on Oct, 2024
This was an amazing day spent with our guide, Randolph. He is SUPER knowledgeable and offered so much information, including answering many questions from my wife.
He’s a great guy and we enjoyed going around the park with him. We saw bison, elk, and a coyote. He explained so many geological features it will take me a week to digest it all. We were able to see all four thermal features and Randolph explained the unique features of each.
Overall, a once in a lifetime experience and we truly appreciated learning so much. We’ll be back!
