About this tour
This wildlife safari runs in the evening, as the sun goes down and the air cools. It takes you to good places in the park to watch animals safely.
Evening is a great time to see wolves, bears, elk, bison, moose and pronghorn, because the animals start moving about more and the day’s crowds have left.
You stop at the main viewing areas and enjoy the scenery, so the trip is relaxed. There are also stops to see geysers and hot springs along the way.
The company says it is a great way to add a special evening to your Yellowstone trip.
Please note: the tour starts in West Yellowstone. Guests staying in the park, in Gardiner or in Big Sky can still book it, but must be in West Yellowstone when it starts.
