What To Expect

Old Faithful

The most famous geyser in the world, Old Faithful geyser was named for its frequent and somewhat predictable eruptions, which number more than a million since Yellowstone became the world’s first national park in 1872. Guests will be able to watch Old Faithful erupt from the nearby wooden boardwalk and check major bucket list item off their list!

Old Faithful Inn

Old Faithful Inn was Built in 1903-1904 with local logs and stone from what is now the Yellowstone National Park area. The Inn is considered the largest log structure in the world. The towering lobby features a massive stone fireplace and a hand-crafted clock made of copper, wood and wrought iron serving as focal points.

Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Great Loop Road at Canyon Village,

Yellowstone Lake

Yellowstone Lake, Grand Loop Road Between Fishing Bridge and Grant Village

Lower Yellowstone River Falls

Lower Falls, the biggest waterfall in Yellowstone at 308-feet tall, is the most famous waterfall in the park. The canyon’s colors were created by hot water acting on volcanic rock. It was not these colors, but the river’s yellow banks at its distant confluence with the Missouri River, that occasioned the Minnetaree Indian name which French trappers translated as roche jaune, yellow stone. The canyon has been rapidly downcut more than once, perhaps by great glacial outburst floods.

Fountain Paint Pot

The Fountain Paint Pots is an amazing stop in Yellowstone National Park's Lower Loop. They are mud pots located in Lower Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park. The Fountain Paint Pots are named for the rich reds, and vivid yellows and browns of the mud in this area. The differing colors are derived from oxidation states of the iron in the mud.

Hayden Valley

Hayden Valley is a must stop wildlife paradise and the location of the largest herd of free roaming bison in the world. We'll be watching for bears, wolves, bison, elk, mule deer, coyotes, fox, eagles, pronghorn and other critters while driving through this beautiful area!

West Thumb Geyser Basin

We'll walk along the boardwalk and discover the many beautiful hydrothermal pools located in this basin area that is an extension of the Yellowstone Lake area.

Being modestly well-experienced small tour travellers around the world for many years, our expectations are always high for these sorts of tours. This one is up there with the best - all the superlatives apply to our guide Seth who was punctual, friendly, highly informative, super-attentive in all respects, knowledgeable and well, just great! He showed a great depth of knowledge not only of the history of the area as well as the geology and science of those amazing geysers, fumaroles and mudpots etc., but also in general - he did an amazing job and made this a stand-out day for us. Despite the large volume of people in Yellowstone at any time, we were not particularly aware of any delays, crowded areas and suchlike - apart from Old Faithful which is always busy- and were taken to see everything we could ask for starting with moose and ending with herds of bison all within easy vision. The picnic lunch was great - served near a river with an egret on hand - and all in all a really good day all round. We highly recommend this tour and would take it again in a heartbeat.

This was my first time to Yellowstone and this tour did not disappoint! Seth our guide was friendly, accommodating and very knowledgeable about the area, the ecology, and the awesome wildlife. We saw plenty of action with moose, bison, white tailed deer, swans, eagles, osprey and more. We also enjoyed geysers and waterfalls. I learned so much from Seth in a fun and interactive way! Oh, and thanks for the 5* restrooms Seth!

This trip managed to combine wildlife and the south loop of Yellowstone into one day. Our guide, Seth, has a degree in geology, and several years of experience as a guide in the Yellowstone area. His background made this trip what it was. He was informative, professional, knowledgeable and personable. I would Highly recommend this trip.
