Something I most enjoyed during this trip was limiting the amount of driving I actually had to do. It was such a relief to be able to focus on the tour, information, and wild life sightings instead of the road.
Sunset Tour - Brian was super accommodating and tailored the tour to what his clients were seeking, whether it was to see wildlife or capture a particular image. It was beautiful and the sunset site finale was gorgeous!!
Full Day Yellowstone (Lower Loop) Tour & Full Day Grand Teton Tour - We had close (appropriate distance) encounters with bison, moose, elk and black bear; we also saw eagles, Osprey, blue Herron, red tail hawks, Swanson’s hawks, white pelican, mule deer, red fox, ground squirrels, marmot, pronghorn and their babies, bison, and Sandhill crane. You guys! The “close encounters” were epic! We watched a moose travel from one hill ridge, descend to the road, cross, pass through willow bushes, and enter a pond where we watched for 30+ min as it snacked on vegetation in the water. So neat! The geysers were incredibly colorful and our guide, Brian, ensured we saw the best of the best in an efficient manner. He provided great recommendations on where to position yourself at sites in order to capture the best photo shots. The meals were tasty and consisted of options. Breakfast for me was a bacon/egg croissant from a local vendor (stimulate the local economy) and apple turnover pastry but there were other options. Lunch was a turkey sandwich, chips, apple, and cookies but there was a wide variety to choose from. We also enjoyed the company of the other tourists who were respectful and just as excited; this is shared as an indication of the type of clientele this organization attracts.
Overall, A+ experience and highly recommend Yellowstone Day Tours!
