    Outstanding Wildlife Tour

    Christina_C, Sep 2025
    Outstanding experience. Our guide Isaac was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and just all around amazing. There were four of us and he took pains to ensure we all had an amazing experience. We saw elk, bison, swans and ravens. We also saw wolves feeding on an elk carcass and a grizzly bear digging for roots and possibly some kind of rodent. We also had the good fortune to see a great horned owl which was unbelievable. This was truly an amazing tour and we will treasure our experience.

    Fantastic view of Yellowstone if you only have a short time

    A great taste of Yellowstone in a short period of time. Our guide Isaac was beyond amazing. Full of energy and knowledge we even saw a grizzly bear.

    Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you got a great taste of Yellowstone — and how exciting to see a grizzly bear! Isaac will be thrilled to hear your kind words. His energy and knowledge are something we’re proud of, and we’re so glad it made your trip unforgettable. Hope to have you back for a longer adventure next time!

    Wildlife encounter a success!

    My husband and I had an awesome time on our evening wildlife encounter with Alex as our guide! She was incredibly kind and flexible—when I lost my purse and had a bit of a meltdown (oops), she adjusted the schedule and stayed late to make sure we didn’t miss out. Alex is a great conversationalist and incredibly knowledgeable about Yellowstone’s wildlife. We spotted a bear, a golden eagle, and tons of bison and elk. We didn’t catch the wolves this time, but not for lack of effort—Alex gave it her all. Highly recommend this experience, and huge thanks to Alex for making it memorable!

    Great guide, beautiful animals

    We had a great time with our guide Isaac. He was very knowledgeable about not just the animals in Yellowstone but all things Montana. We saw your typical bison and elk during our tour and were also able to see a badger, black bear, and a grizzly bear and her cubs. My family enjoyed talking with him about our dogs, especially my youngest son and exchanging funny dog stories. Thank you Isaac for this memorable experience!

    Excellent Tour

    Our family of 5 had an amazing time hanging out. The rich history was awesome to hear and learn. We saw every animal on our bucket list and more. Tauni is gifted and very professional. Don’t wait and book your next tour with Casanova!

    Lamar Valley at it's best

    Es hat alles bestens geklappt. Ich wurde pünktlich vom Guide in meiner Lodge abgeholt. Das Erlebnis hat gehalten, was die Tourbeschreibung versprochen hat. Vor allem dank meines engagierten und und sehr kompetenten Guides Isaac. Besonders die Erläuterung zur Wideransiedlung der Bisons bzw. deren Erhalt für ganz Nordamerika waren sehr beeindruckend und interessant.
