Why we like it

Suited to outdoor enthusiasts with their sights set on making the most of their time in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, this is an adventure-filled trip that bypasses the notion of packing many destinations in to one trip in favour of amplifying time spent exploring two areas in depth. With time spent in the company of an expert private guide, but mostly travelling independently, this journey offers absolute freedom of discovery. Without rushing on to the next landscape, venture to the steaming thermal pools and bubbling mud volcanoes for longer, more adrenaline-packed days. This journey brings about the extraordinary opportunity to search for the moose, wolves, elk and black bears that live in these parks, and offers a multitude of US unique experiences along the way.

Yellowstone: Private Guiding & Independent Exploring

Begin this journey travelling independently through Yellowstone National Park, famous for its steaming thermal pools, bubbling mud volcanoes and the world-renowned Old Faithful Geyser. Spend a full day exploring with a local expert guide who can interpret the wildlife and geothermal features and take you far from the crowds to unveil the hidden secrets of the landscape. During a visit to this park, it is possible to see grizzly bears, wolves, bison, elk and many other animals in their natural setting.

Camping in Yellowstone

We can arrange private luxury camping within Yellowstone, on remote sites set far away from the busy areas. Travel with an expert naturalist guide to the lesser known hot spots that are prime for wildlife-watching, avoiding the busiest spots and the most crowded times of day. Hand-crafted dinners, secluded sunsets over the meadow and spectacular nighttime stargazing are the real highlights. To take your trip to the next level, we can arrange anything from behind-the-scenes tours of the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Centre to off-the-beaten-path horseback trail rides with a local wrangler. Additionally, you might like to try a kayak paddling adventure on Yellowstone Lake, wolf tracking experience with a naturalist or private boat charter.

Private Guiding in the Grand Tetons

Grand Teton National Park, far less visited than its geothermal neighbour, is home to the mighty snow-capped Teton Range and equally remarkable wildlife. In the company of a private guide, journey at daybreak to Moose-Wilson Road, an opportune place to view elk, beavers, black bears and, of course, moose. On another early morning, rise early to take a wildlife-viewing trip down the Snake River on a traditional wooden drift boat, stopping for a picnic brunch at a riverside tipi camp.

Extraordinary Experiences in Grand Tetons

To further customise your National Park adventure, we can arrange a bike ride over less travelled paved and dirt roads, a mindful yoga session against a mountain backdrop or a visit to see a master horse whisperer establish a relationship with a troubled horse. Authentic cowboy workshops, junior ranger programmes and clear night sky stargazing experience in the company of an expert astronomer are just some of the memorable options to fill your days in the Grand Tetons.
