Our wildlife tour with Chad was great! He knew where the animals would be at various times during the day and we were able to see so much more than if we were to just explore on our own. He also provided a lot of other information about the animals during the tour which added greatly to the experience. Note: although the name of the business is “Walking with Wildlife” there is almost no walking required on this tour. My husband and I typically prefer “active” tours (such as hiking), but the time on the tour flew by and we were never bored. It was truly the best way to see that much wildlife since it’s such a large park and the animals could really be anywhere. Highly recommend.

Thank you for the kind words Heather! I really appreciate the fact you stated: "he knew where the animals would be at various times during the day and we were able to see so much more than if we were to just explore on our own." I have spent many years studying wildlife behavior and trying to anticipate their movements to many different natural events. So hearing comments of appreciation for the effort of what went into gathering that particular skill is very rewarding for me Heather! Thank you for letting me know you were okay with the amount of time spent outside the vehicle... I am trying to walk around a little more with people. However, the only way to see the whole park in a day is to spend more time on the road. I am happy to hear that the amount of wildlife we were able to see with the driving was satisfactory to you and your husband!

That was the most fun we had on a wildlife tour EVER. My family is forever ruined because of this tour. They will never be able to go on a tour like this without comparing it to this tour. All other tours will fall short. I realize that this sorta sounds like Chadd wrote this for me, but I assure you that he did not and I full stand by this review. We saw an incredible variety of wildlife and laughed out heads off. We spent an entire day in the park with Chadd and we felt like we had just started when it was over. We literally felt like family when we were done. With a late teen and an early twenty-something, it’s hard to find something that we all can enjoy and bond over. This was an absolute winner. We all agree that this was the best fun we’ve had in a tremendously long time. Could not recommend more...will do again.

Wow this is one amazing review! You said you would give me the best review possible and you didn't disappoint! lol We sure did laugh!!! I still can not get over the amount of wildlife we saw throughout the whole day. From sun-up to sun-down we were in thick with the wildlife... Seeing that much action with wildlife always makes the days long. However, having you guys as "gung-ho" about wildlife watching as me, made my longest trip of the season fly by as well. We were out for a total of 15 hours!!! But when your hot, your hot! And it was our day to see some AMAZING wildlife behavior. I love the emphasis you put on the most fun you have had on a wildlife tour "EVER"... That is a tall order, and now my bar for all other patrons is set very high. I will do my best to improve my tours as I progress and hopefully I can have more clients as happy as you! Thank you again for the lovely review!

We had an evening tour with Chadd. He was very informative about not only the animals but the trees and the park in general. We were able to see moose, sheep, many birds and many, many elk. He was also able to tell us where to go while we were still in the park to see more animals. His tour covered many of the places that I had planned on going while in the area. Highly recommend.
