This was a once in a lifetime experience. I did slow the group down a bit which I felt bad for but everyone was so friendly and understanding about it. It was my first time. We were lucky enough to see many wolves fairly close. Our guide was ON POINT and had so much knowledge about literally everything. Ask for Eric if you go and I guarantee you won’t be the least bit let down. He also has some WILD stories so ask him all about them! You’re also able to bring anything you need that can be left in the van or you can carry a small bag that’s secure which I wish I would know realized. We had nots of stops for scenic pics and saw old faithful erupt. 12/10 recommend!

Such a fun trip! Fitz was our guide and he was great! very knowledgeable giving great info along the way. My Tips: (we went in January in sub zero temps.) Bundle up! Hots hands, ski goggles, balaclavas, and the thickest mitten-style gloves you can find are a must! the handlebars are heated but still super cold. I opted for my own insulated snow boots and toes never got cold. There is room for a small backpack on the sled. otherwise a bucket list trip! So much fun!!!

Great! Ree was our guide and she was top notch. We were picked up on time in Jackson Hole and had a blast on the whole trip. The lunch was great and the views were unbelievable, Ree stopped at-great spots for photos and break times. Its a must do if you are up to an all day trip, we covered 88 miles on the snowmobiles. Can’t say enough about it, will definitely do it again.

This was an amazing trip. Our guides, Andrew and Pat, were knowledgeable of the area, animal behavior and great at spotting them in their natural environment. They were very conscientious of the group and our desires and always quick to accommodate. I highly recommend this trip.

We had so much fun. My husband and I have done whitewater rafting in Colorado and Tennessee and this by far was the BEST whitewater rafting experience ever!!!!
