What travelers are saying

"My husband and I booked the Yellowstone tour with Tauck expecting so much more with the accommodations, food, and tour director based on the price point. We were sadly disappointed but still tried to enjoy the experience. Rooms were dirty, food were often buffets and other group dinners with some food inedible. We noticed other tours staying in our hotels and paying much less for their tours. One positive was we never touched our luggage which was nice but my small suitcase was damaged during one transfer. Word to the wise… read their emails thoroughly as the email we received a few weeks before our trip reads like a disclaimer for poor service and accommodations."

Yellowstone National Park

Highlights

  • The world's first national park inspires awe any time of the year
  • as Yellowstone winter tours would attest. But as you'll discover visiting the national park during the winter – when bison
  • elk
  • wolves and bighorn sheep wander across snow-covered valleys
  • and Yellowstone's amazing geologic features are even more spectacular in the frigid air – is a whole other... and perhaps other-worldly... experience.Exploring by snowcoach

Yellowstone National Park Tour Selection Trips

  •  Yellowstone National Park spans nearly 3,500 square miles of land. Because of its vast size, it’s best to choose a tour that lasts at least three or four days so you can make sure to see all the top attractions.
  • The park is busiest in the summer months. To avoid the crowds, pick travel dates for late spring or early fall.
  • When booking a tour, you’ll want to know where to stay in Yellowstone. There are a few different lodging options at the park: cabins, hotel style and camping. Depending on your style of travel, make sure to find a tour that accommodates your lodging preferences.

Additional details

What to Wear for Yellowstone Weather

Yellowstone in Summer

During Yellowstone summer tours, you should bring comfortable outdoor clothing that you can easily layer and remove. Because Yellowstone National Park sits a mile above sea level on average, you should expect cold nights, no matter the season. Be sure to bring a warm jacket or a fleece, and a rain jacket -- Yellowstone weather can be unpredictable!

If you plan to swim in one of the park's countless rivers, hot springs, or go whitewater rafting, consider bringing water shoes. The rivers are rocky and can be uncomfortable to walk on barefoot. Otherwise, make sure to bring comfortable, closed-toe shoes for any hiking you may do.

Yellowstone in Winter

If you are traveling to Yellowstone in the winter, anticipate severe and colder weather. This means bringing a heavy waterproof jacket and wearing wool or other insulated clothing underneath. If you are planning to do any snow sports, dress appropriately and wear synthetic, fast-drying material as your first layer. This way, if you sweat, the clothing will dry quickly and you will stay warm.

Because of the reflective qualities of the snow, also bring a pair of sunglasses. Make sure to bring along a set of gloves and a hat too.

 

What to Bring for Yellowstone Tours

On a Yellowstone tour, it’s better to be prepared. Make sure to pack a good water bottle, binoculars, a small day backpack if you are hiking, and of course, your camera!  If you plan on leaving the main tourist areas in the park, or camp overnight, it’s also recommended that you bring a first aid kit and carry bear spray.

 

Recreation

Yellowstone has a variety of recreational activities. Some of the most popular include:

 

 

More than Meets the Eye

While the most obvious attractions of Yellowstone are physical, the park also has a rich and fascinating history. One of the benefits of taking a group Yellowstone tour is that your guide will be able to tell you, in detail, about the park. If you are interested in learning about the Native American tribes who battled and conducted pow wows in and around the National Park, consider taking a culture-based trip. Go see the Crazy Horse Memorial, tour a Native American art exposition, and even meet local tribe members.

Guided Yellowstone tours often go outside the park to explore the history of the region. A historical tour will guarantee you the opportunity to learn about it. For example, visit old Wild West towns and learn about important figures like Buffalo Bill and Calamity Jane, or take a short drive to see the infamous Mount Rushmore.

 

How safe is Yellowstone?

Many visitors to Yellowstone are alarmed when they first read that bear spray is recommended within the park. Despite this recommendation, the probability of a bear attack is very low -- many more visitors have been injured trying to get close to the geysers than by all interactions with wildlife combined!

With that being said, Yellowstone is an uncontrolled environment. In order to remain safe, keep to your common sense, properly dispose of all of your garbage (especially if camping), and do not feed or harass the animals.
