Laurie_K, Jun 2025
Was able to see animals I would not have normally. Ron was super nice and efficient with finding them. Lunch was great also.

Best tour beyond our imagination

Pompa_B, May 2025
From the beginning Debbie had been extremely helpful and informative. And then we met our guide Ron. The best tour guide we’ve ever met. He showed us parts of Yellowstone we didn’t even know existed. Took the time to figure out what we needed and geared the tour accordingly. Over all an amazing individual. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. Definitely beyond 5 star rating.

Adam was knowledgeable...

Adam was knowledgeable and friendly. We appreciated his attention to our comfort and provided a memorable experience! Debbie’s lunch was great, fresh very tasty. Would highly recommend the tour with Dreaming Adventures .

Amazing wildlife day!

Sandi, Jul 2021
So much wildlife! Moose, bull elk, bison, pronghorn, mountain goats, wolves. mule deer, big horn sheep , black bear, eagle, and an osprey! Ron is an exceptional guide and made sure that my 3 grandsons (20, 17 and 12) had an amazing day. Outstanding!

Customized for our needa

Lief_G, Sep 2020
Steve, our guide, was a true expert in Yellowstone wildlife. He was connected with the wolf spotting network, which helped us find wolves at two different locations. Since we had already toured the lower loop, Steve focueswd on finding wildlife. It was a nice customized tour.
