Elijah was very... - Elijah was very knowledgeable about the wildlife , geography and history of the park. We spotted bears, wolves, mountain goat, osprey, bald eagle, many bison and elk. We would not have spotted most of them without Elijah's equipment and expertise. We had a great time!

Like to holiday in National Parks and see animals in there natural habitat - Frank is a knowledgeable, friendly and patient guide that I would recommend to everyone. When other guides from other companies became inpatient when an animal went behind bushes and gathered everyone into the van and moved on, Frank was patient and waited, and we benefited from his expertise and saw great interactions. Frank was as excited as us to see the wildlife and it was apparent that Frank’s continued education and knowledge benefitted us as tourists. Darlene

Highly recommend - Elijah was very knowledgeable about the park's history (geological and cultural) and wildlife. We spotted grizzlies, black bears, wolves, osprey, bald eagle, mountain goat, elk and countless bison. We would not have spotted most of them without our guide and all the equipment. Elijah also had lots of charts and pictures to aid visual learners like me and patiently answered a slew of questions about all things Yellowstone.

Nature's finest! - We had a great day of wildlife viewing! Elijah was very knowledgeable and knew just where to go to see bison, black bears, grizzly bears, elk, deer, wolf, coyote, eagle, fox, mountain goat, swans, osprey, ducks, ground squirrel, etc...the list goes on! Without Elijah, we wouldn't have seen nearly as much. He had all the equipment and was quick to set up! We would definitely do this tour again!

Unforgettable Adventure - Elijah was an awesome tour guide and made sure we got to see plenty of wildlife — Black bear and grizzly bears, Bison, Elk, Mountain goats, Moose, yellow bellied marmot, ospreys AND WOLVES (including the site of a wolf den). He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and geological sites and equipped with everything you could ask for to get close up views. This tour was everything we had hoped for.

Best tour we had with Elijah - Our guide Elijah is very knowledgeable. He went thru some history of the park & how certain wildlife animal behave. He never rush us to leave. Elijah was flexible & very accommodating. I definitely will refer him to my friends who will visit YNP in few weeks. Elijah thank you very much for your time. We had a fun fun trip.

Wildlife Galore in Yellowstone Tour - Elijah, from the Yellowstone Recreation Co., was an excellent tour guide for our 8-hour, wildlife tour of Yellowstone’s northern ridge area. He was friendly and knowledgeable and determined to find wildlife for us to observe. We were able to observe 7 grizzly bears (4 cubs), 1 black bear, 1 mountain goat, 3 bighorn sheep, many pronghorn antelope, and countless elk and bison! Elijah took close-up videos of the bears we observed with his scope camera and shared them with us, too.

Fantastic Guided Wildlife Tour in Yellowstone National Park! - I booked this tour about a month prior to our visit. We were in Montana for a week visiting our son who lives there, for his birthday. We stayed the night before in Gardiner, as the tour was beginning at 6 am, and we wanted to be close. We met Elijah and Frank right on schedule and were pleasantly surprised to have 2 guides for this tour. This tour was everything we had hoped for and so much more! As an amateur photographer, I hoped for opportunities to view and potentially shoot some wildlife and was not disappointed. Elijah and Frank were so very knowledgeable snd experienced in all aspects of the park & wildlife locations. The equipment they had and ability to spot the wildlife was fantastic! We saw 2 separate wolf packs, and though they were beyond the scope of my 600mm lens, we all still saw them in the viewfinder scopes that they had. So excited to see them in the wild! Also saw 2 separate Grizzly Bear Sows with cubs, the first had a sub adult cub, and I was able to shoot them, but the other had a "COY" which we were told was a 'Cub of the Year' and they were quite far up the mountain, we all viewed her digging in the ground with her tiny cub popping up on 2 legs in their scopes. Both Elijah & Frank had so much information about all the locations we were seeing and the history of the park, and the wolf packs and other wildlife, we learned so much. Highly recommend this tour and this company. If you get either Elijah OR Frank you will have the BEST!! Hope to get back again!!
