What our customers ask about Yellowstone Tours & Trips

• What are the must-see attractions in Yellowstone National Park?

  Yellowstone’s must-see attractions include Old Faithful Geyser, Norris Geyser Basin, Mammoth Hot Springs, Grand Prismatic Spring, Yellowstone Lake, and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Wildlife viewing is a highlight, with chances to see bison, elk, bears, and wolves. The Grand Loop Road (Loop 8) connects these major sights, with the Upper Loop featuring scenic stops like Mammoth Hot Springs, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Tower Fall, and Lamar Valley for the best wildlife watching.

• What is the best way to explore Yellowstone? Guided tour or self-drive?

  Guided tours are a great way to discover Yellowstone’s highlights efficiently and safely, especially for first-time visitors. Guides provide expert insights, handle logistics, and help you spot wildlife. Self-driving offers flexibility but requires careful planning due to the park’s size and traffic.

• When is the best time to visit Yellowstone for wildlife?

  The best wildlife viewing is in spring (April–June) and fall (September–October). Summer (June–August) is most popular but also busiest. Visiting early in the morning or late in the season helps avoid crowds and increases chances of seeing animals like bears and wolves.

• What hotel options are available in Yellowstone National Park?

  Yellowstone offers a range of accommodations, including historic cabins inside the park like Old Faithful Lodge Cabins, and cabin-style hotels such as Pahaska Tepee Resort near the East Entrance. Regular hotels and motels like the White Buffalo are also available at the park entrances, providing convenient and comfortable stays for all budgets.

• What should I bring and how should I prepare for a Yellowstone tour?

  Dress in layers for changing weather, and bring comfortable walking shoes, sun protection, a reusable water bottle, and a camera. Park passes are required for entry, and it’s best to purchase them in advance to save time at the gate. Some tours provide meals and snacks, but bringing extra water and snacks is always a good idea.
