About this experience
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!

Yellowstone tour with Tim

Strong reco for Clara and Yellowstone adventure tours
We had the most incredible day in Yellowstone with our guide Clara! Her deep knowledge of the park and passion for its history, geology and biology enriched every stop and the chats in between. Clara was always looking out for wildlife and eager to audible if/when a bird or a bison turned up unexpectedly. Car was comfortable and well stocked with snacks and drinks.
via Tripadvisor
Clara is the goat
Clara showed us wolves, bears, and moose all in one trip. She is like if sunshine and rainbows were a person.

Book this tour!!!
We had the most amazing day with our guide Clara! She was absolutely perfect for our 11 person family trip to Yellowstone. Clara found us a grizzly, mama moose and baby, elk, wolves, peregrine falcon, osprey, marmots and sooo many bison! She was so knowledgeable and passionate about her job. We learned so much and loved everything. Would definitely book this tour again.
via Tripadvisor
Wolves are cool but Clara is the best!
This was the best tour I have ever been on. Clara was our tour guide and she was absolutely amazing, she is brilliant and so fun to hang out with! Everyone had an amazing time. We got to see wolves, a bear, moose, elk, a peregrine falcon and more! We have been talking about the tour non stop ever since we left!

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Hidden Gems of Yellowstone! Lunch w/ family friendly hikes included!: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gardiner.
How much does Private Hidden Gems of Yellowstone! Lunch w/ family friendly hikes included! cost?
+
Prices start at $1999 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Gardiner usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Hidden Gems of Yellowstone! Lunch w/ family friendly hikes included! take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Gardiner is not rushed.
Is Private Hidden Gems of Yellowstone! Lunch w/ family friendly hikes included! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 35 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Gardiner, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Hidden Gems of Yellowstone! Lunch w/ family friendly hikes included!?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Hidden Gems of Yellowstone! Lunch w/ family friendly hikes included! suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Hidden Gems of Yellowstone! Lunch w/ family friendly hikes included!?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Gardiner can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Gardiner and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Hidden Gems of Yellowstone! Lunch w/ family friendly hikes included! start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Gardiner within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Gardiner?
+
Gardiner sits at Yellowstone's only year-round entrance: Mammoth Hot Springs tours, Lamar Valley wolf and bison safaris at dawn, rafting on the Yellowstone River and winter wildlife trips. On Outty we rank every Gardiner experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Montana Whitewater Half Day Raft Trip - Yellowstone River, 2 Hour Rafting on the Yellowstone River, Private Yellowstone Tour: ICONIC Sites, Wildlife, Family Friendly Hikes + lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Gardiner?
+
June to September, plus January to February for wolf watching. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Gardiner?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
