Yellowstone in winter with Wildscape Adventure

5.00My husband and I enjoyed three days in Yellowstone with Wildscape Adventure. Christopher worked hard to provide us wildlife sightings and photography tips and techniques. He made us both feel very comfortable. The park was beautiful and I'm happy with the wildlife images. We would love to join Wildscape Adventures again in Yellowstone again in the spring.
Another excellent adventure!

5.00Another excellent adventure! It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Chris and Wildscape Adventures touring Yellowstone. He is knowledgeable about the park; well-researched in wildlife movements and migration; and knows his photography. On this trip in particular, we set my brother up with a camera on a gimbal to use because he is in wheelchair, and Chris went out of his way to help him and make sure he was getting good photos. I cannot recommend Wildscapes Adventures enough for your next photo tour of Yellowstone!

5.00Chris went above and beyond to create a wonderful experience for me! We got some truly excellent shots, he helped me to capture the moments perfectly and use the camera much more accurately. We had great conversations and he was always helpful. All three days were different and I would not have had nearly as good as an experience had I not gone with him. We captured eagles, ravens, moose, beautiful blue birds, fox, coyotes and elk. Everything I wanted to see we did see and I would love to come back in a different season for another trip with Chris. He is professional, reliable and easygoing, I would highly recommend.
Great experience!

5.00This was a wonderful trip. Seeing the wild in winter was amazing. We could just stop (in the pullout areas) whenever we saw herds. The opportunity to take pictures in a safe environment as long as we wanted was great. I learned a lot of tips from Christopher and improved my skills. He asked about what I wanted to learn and built on those skills. A very worthwhile trip and money well spent!
BEST VACATION EVAH!!

5.00This was our first time at Yellowstone. I would not change a thing as to who we used for the Tour; Wildscape Adventures. Chris Georgia is the BEST! He is knowledgeable with everything and anything, from where to get a good cup of coffee to where we would see wildlife! He also respects the rules of the park and the safety of us and the animals! A 10 Star rating!! We are already booked to work with him again in the Fall.. THANK YOU, Chris!!!
