Lowest Price Guarantee
This Active Van Tour is a great way to see Yellowstone National Park beginning 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 hike to an overlook of the famous Grand Prismatic Hot Springs. If you don't feel like walking we find a safe, scenic spot for you to wait for the group. Next we explore the Old Faithful area, including some time at the famous Old Faithful Inn. We continue over the continental divide and down to the West Thumb Geyser Basin on Yellowstone Lake for a view of some spectacular lakeside thermal pools. Continuing our drive along Yellowstone Lake we arrive at the Mud Volcano near the Hayden Valley. See bison roam along the Yellowstone River. Finally, we arrive at the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone to view the canyon and the amazing Lower Falls at Artist Point. The day concludes back at West Yellowstone.

My husband and I traveled out to Montana for our baby-moon. Yellowstone Hiking Guides were recommended by our travel agent and was one of the most affordable tours that we could find. Before we even arrived, their communication was top notch: they were very fast to respond and answered all of my questions. They were even very accommodating with their lunch options as I am 29 weeks pregnant. Spencer, our guide, was amazing and very knowledgeable, answering all of our questions about the history of the park, the creation of the different springs and gyres, the flora and fauna, offered to take photos without us asking and other information. We will for sure becoming back as we only did the lower loop and now need to do the upper loop! When we do return, we know who we’re going to book a tour with!

Awesome tour of the lower loop. Spencer was a great guide! I really enjoyed the tour as I was the only guest and was able to learn almost more than I wanted to learn about geysers and Yellowstone! Book this!

Yellowstone is amazing - the park and the history are unmatched! Spencer was understated at first….it was raining….but he proved to be a wealth of information and really enjoyable as he shared the park with us

We met our guide and instantly connected, felt safe, and were excited about the day ahead. Our guide answered all the questions we asked and even added more information for us. He took us to the incredible scenic spots, ensured our safety, and even took and recommended spots for pictures of our group. Despite inclement weather we saw incredible scenery, majestic animals, and the sandwiches he made were delicious! The best part was viewing all the animals throughout the park, topped off by the hot cocoa and coffee! Highly recommend booking with them for a trip to remember and then some.

This tour was fantastic!!! I learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of Yellowstone. Ron was our tour guide and he was delightful and very knowledgeable. I’m not normally a “take a tour” kind of person, but didn’t want to drive, I wanted to watch what was going on around me. It was great having someone who knew where all the great spots were!!! We had fabulous weather ( Ron didn’t control that😂) and lunch was great ( we ate at a picnic table by the Yellowstone River). It was so peaceful. Highly recommend taking this tour!!!!

Excellent tour with nice lunch overlooking the lakes. Your staff was very sweet and made sure everyone on the bus was happy. Very helpful for the older ones on tour

There is some walking but it is doable. For those who have trouble stepping up into a van they provide a plastic stool but it isn't very strong. Ron is a great driver and shared a lot of good information about Yellowstone, much that I didn't know.
