Great Way to See Yellowstone Wildlife
Sue P.
As always, we had a wonderful time with Brad in April. Among the many animals we saw were wolves, moose, elk, deer, pronghorn, and many bison with a few "red dogs" among them. The highlight of the day was getting to watch an otter in the Lamar River who came right up onto the bank below us. We were able to watch it roll over onto it's back and roll around. We probably were able to watch it for 15 or 20 minutes. Getting to see the sow bear in her den was pretty special also. Watching and identifying different waterfowl was an added bonus. We have been in several classes with Carolyn as well. They are both excellent wildlife interpreters! If you go with one of them or someone from their company, you are guaranteed to learn a lot about Yellowstone wildlife while you are seeing it. Thanks, Brad!
Perfect way to start our visit to Yellowstone!
Espo, August 2022
We had a great tour with Yellowstone Wildlife Profiles! Our fun and knowledgeable guide, Josh, led us to see lots of animals: wolves, pronghorn, great horned owl, bison, elk, bald eagles, and more. Josh provided detailed insights on park history, the animals (how the bulls “guard” the females and the purpose of “wallowing”; the history of wolves in the park), and geology (what causes the geothermal spring colors). His enthusiasm and wide-ranging knowledge brought out the curiosity and wonder in our jet-lagged 14 and 11 year old children, who quickly decided that Yellowstone was awesome! We might have seen *some* of the animals after getting lost on our own, but a great guided tour let the whole family enjoy the views and take in the wildlife in a much more informed way. YWP also provided us with high end scopes/binoculars for viewing. It was a terrific start on our first day in the park and prepared us for the rest of our visit. Highly recommend!
Private Tour / Money Well-Spent!!
Donna F.
Yellowstone Wildlife Profiles was recommended to us by a friend. Our family of 3 booked 3 private full day tours: Canyon/Hayden Valley; Wildlife/Wolves; and Geysers/Hotspots. Our amazing guide was Josh, a Yellowstone veteran with 11 years of experience in the ecosystem. Josh is friendly and knowledgeable…..a walking encyclopedia of Yellowstone history/geology/zoology/botany. We learned so much, had fun, and it was well worth the money spent. We spent 4 days in Yellowstone and left with a wealth of understanding and knowledge thanks to YWP. Great experience! 5 stars!
