5.00The wildlife and views were amazing (we saw wolves, moose, foxes, coyotes, bald eagles, mountain goats, bighorns, antelope, bison, and even a mountain lion!) But, the best parts of the tour were the BrushBuck guides, Dallin and Cade. They were extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, personable, professional, and passionate about wildlife. We look forward to more tours with BrushBuck!
Hands down best Tetons and Yellowstone tour

5.00I don’t feel like a quick review could begin to explain the lifetime of memories this trip created. Our guide Mark was the best guide we have ever had. Dozens of other trips other places don’t hold a candle to this. The amount of knowledge and planning he did to make our trip and memories complete wasn’t lost on us. Clearly the folks at brush buck are running a first class operation. We saw so many beautiful animals, parts of the park but learned just as much as we saw. Adventure of s lifetime right here in the lower 48!! I’ve been twice before but this was next level on expectations exceeded by any measurement. We will definitely do their Alaska tour and possibly Africa.
Best. Trip. Ever.

5.00Wow. I can't say enough good things about this your. Our guide Kevin, a Shoshone Indian, grew up and knew every single inch of the land and wildlife. We had an amazing group and enjoyed every single second of this trip!! Extremely magical trip!
Fabulous Winter Wolf and Wildlife Viewing in Yellowstone National Park

5.00This tour was fabulous! We saw wolves every day as well as other wildlife that live in the Park. Our Guide Neil was energetic, enthusiastic, and could find the animals from miles away. He took excellent care of us. Without him we would have seen very little. The van was comfortable and our group including us consisted of 5 people. They provided water, soft drinks and snacks. February is breeding season so the wolves were very active and we even saw up to 10 at one time. We were lucky to have fantastic weather which no one can control. It was cold with morning ambient temperatures down to -13 one morning and highs below freezing Much of the 12 hour days was spent outside the van looking for and watching wildlife. Be prepared to dress accordingly. Gardiner and Cooke City are small communities with limited but clean, very adequate accommodations as well as restaurant choices. The tour was well organized and they had excellent equipment from binoculars to spotting scopes. I would highly recommend the Yellowstone Winter Wolf and Wildlife Tour to anyone who loves wildlife. It is one of my favorite trips. This was the second time we have used Brushbuck and are even looking into their Africa Safari.

1.00I rented a 4x4 to get to Jackson Hole , booked the hotel, paid a bunch of fees and a few days before my stay they cancelled without any compensation or anything! Not because of Covid but because I was solo!! It's outrageous I lost a lot of money because of them.
Everything we hoped for!

5.00Yellowstone is an amazing place and Brushbuck really shows you the best of it. Our guide, Clint, was exceptional. He was quite knowledgeable and excelled at spotting animals that we never would have seen without him. We also appreciated that he shared all the videos and pictures he took with the group following the trip. It was truly incredible to see a lone wolf howling and to watch a wolf pack chase a coyote off of a kill. We even saw a badger and river otter which we hadn't expected to see. The tour was well-planned with good hotels and good food. We even met some cool people that we hope to travel with and see again. We're looking forward to when we can return for one of Brushbuck's other tours.
Absolutely wonderful

5.00My husband and I went on the 4 day winter tour in Yellowstone. It was absolutely incredible! We both loved it even more than we thought we would. We had high expectations... they were exceeded. Our tour guide Daniel was so knowledgeable and dedicated. We saw wolves, coyotes and fox EVERY DAY of our tour! We saw moose, eagles, owls, mountain goats, big horn sheep and more! The bison were magnificent especially against the gorgeous snowy backdrop. It was very cold but there was a huge perk to that - no crowds, more animals and more scenery. I'd do this tour again and I am also interested in trying it in other seasons and would like to try other BrushBuck tours (any and all of them). Highly recommend for animal and nature lovers!
Awesome Experience

5.00This was an amazing experience. Our guide Daniel was the key to this fantastic trip He had a wealth of knowledge about wildlife, plant life and Yellowstone history. He handled our multiage group with patience, flexibilty and humor. We saw many animals including wolves, foxes, coyotes and a mountain goat! He tailored our experience to meet our expectations. He made sure we each got amazing photos and videos of the animals we saw. There were no surprises-the trip description was specific and accurate. They also provided a helpful packing list, I would highly recommend this trip!!
Three dog day

5.00Came to see wolves and Clint, the amazing guide managed 3, three dog days in a row. The amount of wildlife I saw during the winter tour was amazing. Think I saw every moose in the park, lots of different wolves, a wolf kill, coyotes that sat next to the road and a wolf that crossed the road in front of the vehicle. Clint appeared psychic as when he talked about an animal, around the next bend there it would be e.g. a mountain goat. The group vehicle was comfy, there were drinks and snacks available and plenty of equipment to go around. Clint's knowledge and understanding of animal behaviour was excellent. Definitely recommended this tour to anyone wishing to experience Yellowstone in the winter. The tour stayed at some good accommodation in Gardiner and Cooke city and also allowed for some free time.
Unbelievable experience

5.00Wasn't sure about this tour beforehand but what an experience. Nature at its best. Our guide Clint was class, exceptional knowledge, great humour and kept us all safe and sound. I would urge anybody to do this trip...enjoyed the wildlife and the nightlife too..great pizza in Cooke city a bonus. 10 out of 10, no regrets other than leaving Jackson Hole and the Tetons too quickly. JACKSON HOLE ABU!!!!
