Overview

This Active Van Tour is a great way to see the unique wildlife of Yellowstone National Park. We begin in the fun gateway town of West Yellowstone. The early morning part of the tour explores wildlife haunts in the famous Shadow Canyon of the Madison River. This area is home to bear and elk. Later we scope for wildlife on the shoulders of one of Yellowstone's tallest peaks, Mount Washburn. Next we explore the Lamar Valley, known as the Serengeti of North America. We will use spotting scopes to look for wolves, bears and other wildlife. Enjoy a hot drink while watching wolves. Next we visit the Mammoth Hot Springs Terraces for a short walk. If you don't feel like walking we find a safe, scenic spot for you to wait for the group near the van. Finally, we head back toward West Yellowstone stopping for additional wildlife sightings along the way. The day concludes back at West Yellowstone.

We had a wonderful time and this was the best way for us to see the best sites in the park. Karlie was very sweet.

Published on Sep, 2024

We had an amazing time! Karlie was very sweet and knowledgeable. She took the time to get to know us. She was always willing to stop for the photo op when possible. Loved the sandwich/snacks. I would definitely recommend...I would definitely love to come back.

Wildlife in abundance!

Published on Sep, 2024

It was an early start to the morning, but well worth getting up early to get to the park and get started seeing the wildlife ! We were happy we booked this tour because it enabled both of us to see what we came to see and to have an experienced guide take us to all the hotspots for wildlife. We saw just about everything we wanted to except for a bear! Our tour guide, Austin, was a great guide. We would highly recommend this tour.

Great trip

Published on Sep, 2024

We saw lots of animals. Karlie was friendly and appeared knowledgeable of park. There were three couples…all new to each other, but everyone was nice and considerate

Enjoyed the tour.

Saw everything except bighorn sheep and grizzly bears. Even saw mountain goats. Schedule the rain better (joke).

Great Tour, Great Guide

Published on Sep, 2024

It was a great tour thanks to our guide Dallas. He knows the park really well and was able to find wildlife (lots of bison, bald eagles, a wolf, coyotes). We really enjoyed the overall experience and getting to see the park with a really knowledgeable guide.
