What you get

    About this experience

    Immerse yourself in the wildness of Yellowstone’s landscape by utilizing the ancient technology of snowshoes. This tour provides an unmatchable backcountry experience of magnificent winter ecology. Though winter can seem like the least likely time to go for a walk in the woods, it is really one of the most rewarding. The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem comes alive as wildlife moves from summer to winter ranges. Snow illuminates the landscape in a way you may never have noticed. Wildlife tracks appear frozen in time, and plants and rivers allow for our reflection on resilience and longevity. On this private full-day snowshoe trek, you will explore the environment in an in-depth, hands-on way. Your expert naturalist guide will interpret what you find and what you see, and you may be surprised with the story that arises.

    3. Mammoth Hot Springs

      Mammoth Hot Springs is a collection of thermal features at the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park. It is best known for the travertine terraces that form from mineral deposits, but there are many other observable geothermal features in this area. The algae living in the pools creates the distinct brownish, reddish colors. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

      The Roosevelt Arch, built in 1903, is constructed of hexagonal blocks of columnar basalt and stands 52ft (16m) high. The arch stands at the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park in Gardiner, MT. The original conception was to provide a grand entrance to the world's first National Park but subsequent features were never installed and the official park entrance was relocated south of Gardiner. The arch itself remains standing and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Our safari makes a stop here.

    Best Yellowstone Tour - Incredibly Professional, Knowledgeable and Enjoyable

    This was the trip of a lifetime and we really had the best experience with the Yellowstone Safari Co. We were picked up by Adam early in the morning from our home in Big Sky - Adam was super friendly and had coffee and snacks all ready for us right at the pickup point. Once we got to Bozeman, Grant, the head guide of the company jumped into the car and brought us into the Yellowstone Park through the North entrance. Grant was super knowledgeable, incredibly friendly and took the time to really educate us on the animals and the park. We encountered 15 grey wolves where the lead wolf chased away a coyote. To be able to witness this in the wild in their natural habitat was absolutely mind blowing and we were so grateful for this experience. Wolves are incredibly difficult to find and the fact that Grant had managed to locate them, helped us set up the scopes where we could observe from a very safe distance was just amazing. We saw many other animals along the way - elks, bisons, big horn sheep, amongst others. We had a delicious lunch and then took a beautiful little hike around the geysers. Every step of the way, Grant made sure to look out for everything we set out to see and the entire operation was just incredibly professional and immensely enjoyable. We cannot recommend Yellowstone Safari Co enough the next time you want to visit the Yellowstone. Everything from the start to finish was so easy and smooth - thank you Adam and Grant for a wonderful day. We have done the Yellowstone tour with other companies before and I can confidently tell you there is no one better in this business than Yellowstone Safari Co.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful and thoughtful review. We are so glad you enjoyed your tour with us and were so successful with wildlife.

    Enjoyable Full Day Yellowstone Tour

    We had a great experience on the Yellowstone Safari Co. Tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and informed us about the various areas we visited in the Park. We were fortunate to spot a wolf, bears and elk on our tour. It was nice having the binoculars provided by Yellowstone Safari Co. and our guide also had a telescope that provided a better view of the bears. We spent 3 more days in Yellowstone and this tour gave us a good overview for planning the remaining time we spent there.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for this great review of our company! We are always here to give great experience and advise on how to enjoy the Park on your own after you spend time with us. Thanks for taking the time to comment on this!

    Great family experience over Spring Break

    Loved our experience with Yellowstone Safari Company. Our guide, Randolph, was extremely knowledgeable, very accommodating (and punctual) and great with the kids. We toured the park (van and snow coach tour) and snowshoed. Randolph was able to track down a couple of the wolves, which was an amazing experience. Would highly suggest this company and Randolph in particular.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for this great review. It sounds like you had a great day out with Randolph and enjoyed snowshoeing! We are grateful for your recommendation for our company.

    A beautiful winter day with Yellowstone Safari Co.

    We spent the day with Yellowstone Safari Co. taking a private Full-day Snowshoe Safari Adventure. Zak, our guide, spent lots of time making sure my 10 year old grandson was safe and comfortable in the snow. He met all of our needs in pointing out all sorts of wildlife. Lunch was great. Snowshoeing was lots of fun, and so beautiful to be in Yellowstone in the midst of winter. We hope to visit again very soon! Yellowstone Safari Co. is professional, experienced and simply a great team!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed your day out with Zak! Snowshoeing is so fun and we are always excited to take guests into Yellowstone to enjoy it on foot. Thanks for spending the day with us!

    Excellent and throughly throughout

    Two excellent days with private guides Gabrielle and Hannah, both great. Family of 11 and they knew how to manage the spectrum of ages and interests. Engaging conversations, passionate and knowledgeable about the area, history and wildlife. A super pleasant experience, they knew when we should be at various sites including popular stops like Old Faithful in order to avoid crowds and/or get the best viewing. It is a pricey tour but would highly recommend.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to send this review. We appreciate your feedback and that you felt the tour was worth your hard-earned resources and family time. Thank you!

    Yellowstone Snowshoe Safari from Bozeman - Private Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bozeman.

    How much does Yellowstone Snowshoe Safari from Bozeman - Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $723 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bozeman usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Yellowstone Snowshoe Safari from Bozeman - Private Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 Bozeman is not rushed.

    Is Yellowstone Snowshoe Safari from Bozeman - Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bozeman, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Yellowstone Snowshoe Safari from Bozeman - Private Tour?

    +

    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 Yellowstone Snowshoe Safari from Bozeman - Private Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Yellowstone Snowshoe Safari from Bozeman - Private Tour?

    +

    Around 6 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 Bozeman 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 Bozeman and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Yellowstone Snowshoe Safari from Bozeman - Private Tour 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 Bozeman 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 Bozeman?

    +

    Bozeman handles the north side of Yellowstone: park day tours, wildlife safaris in Lamar Valley, fly fishing on the Gallatin, rafting, and Big Sky skiing in winter. On Outty we rank every Bozeman experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Alpaca and Llama Farm Tour, Best Of Yellowstone Full Day Nat'l Park Tour From Bozeman, Full Day Yellowstone National Park Tour with lunch included. 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 Bozeman?

    +

    June to September for park tours, December to March for skiing. 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 Bozeman?

    +

    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.
