Excellent experience - educational and wonderful! - Super interesting presentation - track the story of the reintroduction of wolves across the country through real journeys of individual wolves who wandered across the united states; where they went and how they started packs in various states. Then got to meet several arctic wolves and gray wolves. Beautiful, majestic creatures! Brilliant experience!

See wild wolves close up - This was one of the best experiences I have ever been on. To see the wolves close up was so wonderful. Took a lot of pictures (cell phone only with flash turned off) They currently have 4 wolves but they occasionally get new ones. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in seeing wild wolves close up, The guide also gives you a short education course in the beginning which was interesting too. I will probably go again in a few years to see any new arrivals.

Great Opportunity to see wolves. - Great learning experience. I learned a lot about wolves that I didn't know. It was great to be able to see the wolves fairly close. They are amazing animals. The guide / leader was great too. She knew her info but you could tell she loved the wolves just like family.

Love wolves... must see. - This was awesome. Very educational as our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Seeing the wolves and hearing their stories was so worth it. I highly recommend this experience. Nice to know these beautiful creatures are well taken care of since they cannot be released into the wild.

Informative Tour and Great Experience! - This was a wonderful experience! The tour was super informative and our guide was so knowledgeable… and extremely patient with our antsy 3 year old grandson who did not want to sit still during the educational portion. I was so appreciative of her for that! The wolves were beautiful creatures. We, as a whole, need to do more for them. Supporting them by going on this tour is a wonderful way to do that. Highly recommend!

Unique Experience - We loved our visit to the White Wolf Sanctuary! Our guide was SO knowledgeable and you really come to understand just how critical these animals are to our environment and ecosystems. Getting to see them up close was a privilege and we all talked about how we can be ambassadors for these amazing creatures going forward. This is not a zoo experience - It’s a true learning experience that will give you an appreciation for wolves and nature as a whole.

Just Book The Tour! You Won't Regret It - Do not pass this one up! If you are a animal lover, nature lover, wolf lover, or just a resident of planet Earth you need to check this out. There is a lot to learn about wolves, most importantly how to co-exist with them. They are not the villain, they are essential. The tour starts with a guided caravan past several locked gates to the sanctuary. Then an educational talk. Our volunteer guide had been at the sanctuary for 18 years and was incredibly knowledgeable. Followed by a walk around the sanctuary to see any wolves that choose to show themselves, and hear their stories.
