My friends and I did a tour of Yellowstone and Grand Teton (full day, 12 hours). Our tour guide, Kelsey, was extremely informative and personable. The entire day she was great with pointing out wildlife, explaining the significance of various sites within the park, and keeping the group engaged in conversation for the tour’s duration. We were able to see many of Yellowstone’s highlights in the 12hour period. I would strongly recommend Kelsey and BrushBack Tours to anyone who wants to experience America’s first National Park. 10/10.

We are two couples, 69 to 71 years of age, from MS and TN. We wanted to see Yellowstone National Park and started researching in January of 2020, our objective was to make this tour without the hassle of driving/parking and making sure we saw as many important locations as possible. Our search ended with BrushBuck due to their website, quick responses to our many questions and their ability to provide a private tour. We started our 4-day 3-night tour from Jackson, WY with our guide Kenny in a large touring van; complete with coolers, binoculars and spotting scopes. Kenny worked diligently to provide the best in wildlife viewing, carried us to the base of the Tetons and through the vastness of Yellowstone. We traveled through 4 of the 5 Yellowstone entrance gates and made it to Gardiner and Cooke City, Montana. We enjoyed picnic lunches by lakes and streams, traveled alongside bison herds, saw extraordinary waterfalls and rapids, experienced geyser activities to include Old Faithful, enjoyed nightly reservations near Cody, WY and in Cooke City, Montana. Our guide Kenny was most informative and worked hard to make sure we saw the best of Yellowstone. In our opinions, a great trip!

We took our 8y/o son on a private Wild and Scenic tour with Cade last week. It was FANTASTIC. We have visited Yellowstone a few times in the past and learned so much from Cade! It felt like a much more intimate experience of the park. He took the time to discuss our goals for the day and lay out the options. It’s not a zoo, so we couldn’t guarantee any wildlife sightings but he took us to amazing spots to check! To this day our son frequently quotes Cade and raves about the tour. Based on Cade’s tips and advice, we got up super early the next morning on our own to explore a spot he recommended and ended up watching a wolf gnawing on a bison carcass and later a pack of wolves chasing some elk. Could not have hoped for a better experience and will be requesting Cade the next time we go to the Park! It truly felt like he cared about our safety with COVID 19 precautions as well as our overall enjoyment of Yellowstone and the Tetons.

My husband, daughter and I chose the dawn open air wildlife tour with BrushBuck Wildlife Tours in Jackson, WY, after reading very good reviews. We met Jeff, our guide, at 6:15 a.m. Jeff greeted us with a smile, snacks and warm blankets in case we got chilly during the open air ride, as it was very early in the day. Jeff was incredibly professional, personable and knowledgable. He knew exactly where to take us to see wildlife and within the first 20 minutes, he found 3 moose tucked away in a meadow/wooded area. In addition to the binoculars provided us, Jeff also had a large telescope that he set up to allow each of us to get a more up-close view. Jeff spent the next 3 hours bringing us place to place where we saw Pronghorn, Bison, Elk Calfs, The Rocky Mountain Bluebird and a Yellow Belly Marmouth. Jeff also took us to the Moultin Barn on Mormon Row, one of the most photographed barns in the country, where he took photos of us for our own memory books. As we toured through the area, Jeff educated us on the flora, fauna and geology of the area. Jeff also had some fun tales to tell and kept us all entertained throughout the tour. Overall, we had a fantastic time and would absolutely do it again. We highly recommend BrushBuck Wildlife Tours, and if you are lucky enough to have Jeff as your guide, you won't be disappointed,

Trip: Private Grand Teton 4-Hour Dusk Wildlife Tour
Guide: Jess
Review: WOW! Easily 1 of the highlights of a great trip. Jess was a phenomenal guide and worked hard to put us in positions to see bison, deer, pronghorn, and the most majestic bull elk I could imagine. Her encyclopedic knowledge of the area (plant, animal, and geography) amazed us and kept us entertained throughout the trip. And even though we didn't see a bear on the tour, we saw 1 the next morning, right where she told us we probably could - so we give her credit for that too!
5 stars, 10 out of 10, highly recommend

We went on the half day (4 hr) Grand Teton National Park safari in a closed van. It was our family of 6 only
It was a bit chilly this day, and our guide, Amanda, decided to take us in a closed vehicle rather than the open air safari van. It was a great call.
Amanda was a fabulous guide! Her degree is in Marine Biology and she spent several months doing rescues and assessments of marine animals such as whales and seals off the California coast before relocating to Wyoming earlier this year. She has a “super sponge” for a brain and was thoroughly educated about EVERYTHING we asked her on the tour. Lovely personality to boot!! I would highly recommend Brushbuck tours and especially Amanda. Ask for her to be your guide. You won’t be disappointed!!

We went on a half-day wildlife tour in the Tetons. Gannon was our guide, and he as fantastic. Gannon knew just where to go, and just where to look. He was able to spot wildlife that we would never have seen, and then set up his camera and tripod so that we could see "up close", and have immediate pictures. The highlight was a young grizzly that actually walked around our car for over 30 minutes. I highly recommend Brushbuck WildlifeTours, and Gannon in particular!!

We did a four hour wildlife tour into Teton National Park. Our guide, Cade, was fantastic. He was prompt and efficient with our trip. He was able to sight wildlife with his eyes first and then scope it where we could see it! The highlights were a large male buck elk bugling, a mother moose and babies and Grizzly 610 and her two cubs. We had already been here for a week and were skeptical that the trip would be worth the money. However, we saw more with Cade then we would ever have seen. The day included multiple elk, bison, bear, moose, pronghorn and muskrat! Would highly recommend to anyone!!

We did a four hour evening Grand Teton wildlife tour with Sarah, and a 12 hour Grand Teton/Yellowstone scenic wildlife tour with Gannon. Both were knowledgeable guides, and we had a wonderful time with both of them. No need to worry about restroom breaks as they were offered regularly. Geared more toward teens and older since there will be a lot of getting in and out of the car for viewing opportunities, most of which are viewed through the scope or binoculars. There also may *not* be sightings because you’re dealing with wild animals, not a zoo, which could be disappointing and tiring for little ones. Highly recommend!

We just finished our four day five night Yellowstone tour that started on
dec 27. I just want to compliment our tour guide Daniel who was beyond
excellent. Not only was he extraordinarily knowledgeable, but he was
extremely helpful and fair when it came to getting good shots of animals
while keeping us safe. I think he would put all other tour guides to shame
when it comes to how much he knew about yellowstone and the animals that are
there, very impressed. He was also funny and we actually spent time outside
the tours just hanging out and having fun which was not something I expected
and was a huge bonus. Anyhow it was an awesome tour mostly
because we had such a great guide.

will you offer hotel pickup and drop off

On the 4-day tours, they pick you up at each hotel because the guides are at the same hotel as you.

Coming in early June and booked a private Grand Tetons tour. Understand there has been a lot of rain and thunderstorms and snow in the area. If there is heavy rain and thunderstorms can dates be changed? We will be there 3 nights. Thanks

Hi PeachBell!
Since we are in the Rockies, this type of weather can be quite normal and often means we will see even more wildlife than on warmer and sunnier days. This is simply due to the fact the animals have heavy coats of fur and the cooler weather is often more comfortable for them to stay out longer into the daytime hours to feed!
We consider weather change requests on a case by case basis. Please call us directly with any concerns such as yours where we can give you a better answer that is customized to your group and your needs.
See you soon!
Sincerely,
Amber Peters

How much hiking does the 4-day wildlife adventure tour include? I am looking for something active instead of mostly being "bussed" around. Thank you!
Written April 23, 2019
Hi! Thank you so much for your interest in our 4day/3night adventure!
On this tour, guests should expect to get around 3-4 miles of easy walking in per day (days 2,3, and 4).
If you are looking for more activity than that, we recommend calling us to set up a private tour experience and we can incorporate 2-4 miles hikes on certain days into your tour at that point.
We hope to talk with you soon and hope you have a wonderful time out here in Yellowstone country!
Sincerely,

Hi Dan - really enjoyed your post. A friend of mine and I are going up to Yellowstone in September 2019, We are keen to go with Brushbuck tours but cant decide on the 2 day or 4 day one. Was the 2 day tour really rushed? Had you had enough after 2 days or could you have gone longer? Thank you - will appreciate your comments. Deirdre (Australia)
Written December 28, 2018
Our 2 Day tour will let you see Grand Teton, the Lower Loop of Yellowstone, and the Upper Loop as well. The 4day will do the same however, we have a longer time to show you areas and wildlife in the park. This means MORE of everything, especially wildlife! So if you are in a rush on time or need to watch your cash a little more, go for the 2 Day. If you have more time and a little more travel money to spend, go for the 4 Day! Hope this helps and have a great day.
Sincerely,
Amber Peters
