Private Tour
Private Hidden Gems of Yellowstone! Lunch w/ family friendly hikes included!
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
This tour will only take your group to areas inside Yellowstone that are off the beaten path and not easily found (we can easily add a one or a few popular sites to make a hybridized tour).
This tour does not stop at Old Faithful or popular tourist destinations. Instead, we will go to areas that gives your family or friends the opportunity to experience Hidden Yellowstone. Since we are avoiding the popular destinations we will have more time to explore and get off the beaten path compared to other tours. We will take many walks to hidden waterfalls, secluded lakes, scenic vistas, hidden geysers, mud pots, hot springs, and view lots of wildlife. On this tour we will put your group in the best position to safely view wildlife. For lunch we will stop at a secluded and scenic location for a provided picnic style lunch from a local bakery. On this tour we will navigate the park as best we can without interacting with other tourists because we are going to Hidden Yellowstone!

5.00The experience itself was terrific. However, what made it exceptional was our guide Mitchell. He was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and extremely pleasant to spend the day with. We enjoyed his company immensely we felt we learned so much about the park through his knowledge. Give
Views, Wildlife, & so much learning!

5.00We had such a wonderful experience! It truly was a “hidden gems” experience. Our guide, Mitchell, really knew the park and was so knowledgeable on everything. We saw bison, wolves, elk, and lots of birds. We got to see the classics (Old Faithful) but ventured into areas we would’ve never known to go! A huge plus was the gluten free bread they offered for sandwiches at lunch. All around I could not recommend this tour & Mitchell more!

5.00My wife and I took the Hidden Gems tour in late September with Andrea as our guide. We tend to get guides to help us ensure we get the most out of our trips. While we have had some great tours in the past, Andrea surpassed all of the previous guides we've had on other adventures. He was polite, professional, kept us safe, and was knowledgeable on every question we asked. We only had 2 days in Yellowstone, but saw more wildlife, waterfalls, and geysers than we could imagine! It was an incredible trip and we're thankful to Andrea for the experience!
Amazing trip with a wonderful guide.

5.00First and foremost Andrea is an amazing knowledgeable guide that went above and beyond for us to have an experience of a lifetime. We were able to see grizzlies, bison, big horn sheep, elk, grouse, a horned owl and the best surprise of the day an unexpected wolf. The knowledge of Andrea took us to exactly where the wolf would cross the road and we got awesome pics and videos. Absolutely amazing day. Would recommend to anyone.. A+
Awesome time with Jessi on Yellowstone Adventure Tours

5.00We had the best time with Jessi on our Hidden Gems of Yellowstone tour. She was very knowledgeable about the animals, the history, and the geological features. She picked us up at the Canyon Lodge at 6:00 a.m. An early morning in Yellowstone is an entirely different experience. There were few cars and people, and the sunrise was amazing. She took us to see wolf cubs playing by their den through her spotting scope. We did so many things that made our trip very special. We would genuinely recommend taking a tour with Jessi.
Little bit of everything in one day.

5.00Our guide, Mitchell, was excellent. Always had interesting things to say, and was very friendly and tolerant of the kids that were in our group. (who didn’t always behave), and took us to see some things we had not seen in the previous three days we were in the park.
Beauty, bears, and so much more

5.00We had an amazing experience on this trip. The overall park was beautiful and even though the weather was a bit wet and cold it made for better animal sightings. We were lucky enough to see grizzlies three times! A solo bear, a mom and her cub and a pair of bears together. It was exciting to watch them (at a distance!). The geysers and hot springs throughout the park were also amazing. Jeremy was a great guide and very informative. He even made recommendations for stops we might like the next day on our own.
Great experience!!!

5.00We highly recommend booking this private tour. We did two days. Our guide, Jeremy knew the best places to go. We saw a grizzly, bison, red fox, mountain goats, pronghorn and elk. We missed a pack of 6 wolves by 30 minutes. We had a private lunch w/picnic table, on a lake surrounded by fir trees.Jeremy was knowledgeable about locations, geography, animal behavior, good identify all the birds & kept us at the proper distance to view animals. Jeremy could spot animals quickly. We were set up to photograph mountain goats w/tripod & Jermey spotted a red fox behind us & across the road. The vehicle was comfortable, food & snacks & drinks were quite good. Having a guide is worth every penny even if you need to hold off your visit to save up for it. If this doesn't convince you, these guides know the best restrooms around the park. If you can go in October!
