Top Big Sky Walking Tours

I have visited the Park many, many times. This was my best visit by far. Highly recommend booking with this company. We had a spacious, comfortable van with tall windows. We left the driving to the guide, which, is HUGE in Yellowstone! No one has to miss out on half the sights because they are dealing with traffic/animals in the road. Our guide knew exactly where to go to see great animals and took us to hidden gems. Many were new to us despite having visited the park many times. He knew quick shortcuts and sneaky parking places, which maximized our experience in the Park. He was incredibly knowledgeable and could talk about anything: causes of white bark pine decline? geological processes behind the fumeroles and mud pots? The role of grasses in the Yellowstone ecosystem? Tim was your guy! He adapted the tour to our group (one of us just got out of the hospital, and one of us has trouble walking) so that we all could enjoy the tour. He took some amazing videos that he sent us later so, again, we could enjoy the sights while he did the work.

The tour was outstanding, our guide Mitchell was phenomenal. Mitchell picked us up at 5:30 AM with his Suburban LOADED with snacks, Coffee, Hot chocolate, soda's and our picnic lunches. We drove in from West Yellow in a heavy fog. Right off the bat We get near the Gibbon River and Mitchell spots two wolves crossing the road. We caught a couple of pictures. Mitchell had the wherewithall to turn the car around and drive back a few hundred yards and we saw and filmed two more wolves, one collard and he believes they were from the Wapiti pack. The day started out great. Next stop Washburn Hotsprings overlook for a great sunrise above the fog. We next drove across the Washburn mountain area and again Mitchell spots a grizzly, we got some great film of him/her. Next we headed to Lamar valley. Saw the osprey nest, got to stand 25-30 yards from a Bison group crossing the road. Watched Coyotes and bald eagles eating a few day old bison carcass. Mitchell has this sixth sense, we were almost ready to leave the area we were at in Lamar and he said lets wait a few more minutes to see if we can catch the Junction Butte Pack. His sixth sense was AMAZING. Not only did we see and film 12-14 of the Junction Butte Pack but we watched and filmed the wolf pack ambushing a small Bison herd surrounding them, no one got hurt and the wolves moved on. What an experience thanks to Mitchell. We had a great picnic lunch and then made our way back to West Yellowstone. The whole time Mitchell sharing incredible knowledge about the park the animals, the history. Just an amazing day.

Brayden was an amazing guide on our trip to Yellowstone. He was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout our entire experience. He came prepared with snacks and drinks and was went out of his way to show our group "extra" sights and took multiple pictures for us. As far as Yellowstone, I can't describe the beauty of this great nation's first national park. We only got 5 hours of sleep the night before (I don't recommend that) but having someone else drive around the park was a great experience. One thing I would advise anyone going to Yellowstone...pack your own lunch! The lines at the Old Faithful cafeteria was a bit too long and the food was just okay. Other than that, it was an amazing trip and we will likely do it again!!

Guide was excellent. Only drawback was he was hard to hear. He could have had some kind of sound system in the vehicle. Many elderly folks with hearing aides including myself.

Mark is animated, thoughtful, and knowledgeable and we covered a lot of ground. We stopped at key spots and Mark was patient in finding animals far away or on ledges, which was amazing. We would not have spotted many of the things on our own. The history and animals facts about the park made this a memorable experience.

Lorna was very knowledgeable , friendly and an overall wonderful guide! She accommodated and tailored the tour to what we wanted to see and do. We saw bison, elk and a bald eagle. No bears or moose were seen. We covered a lot of territory. The park is huge so a lot of time is spent in the van, which was very comfortable and fully stocked with food and hot/cold beverages. A great day and highly recommended.

This was a First Class Tour, absolutely everything was thought of, and exactly as described in the Cool Destinations App. We had a very experienced and thoroughly knowledgeable guide, Rose, who was fascinating, and had a degree in environmental science, and was clearly passionate about her job. We did the lower loop tour, it was perfectly paced, starting with the hot/mud springs, over to Grand Prismatic, Wildlife viewing (we got really lucky with a Bison herd) the Geyser (Old Faithful) and a few other interesting sights (Yelowstone Lake) that she fit in along the way. On the score of 1 to 10 this Tour was an 11! We can’t wait to come back and do the upper loop or the Tetons!

We had an awesome day! Our guide Julia was fantastic! She made a rainy day an absolute sunny one. Her knowledge and details to the tour were superb. What a great day! I would highly recommend this tour. Wonderful sights to be seen without the worry of having to drive!

Ask for Carrie, she was an exceptional guide! Fun, kind, and knowledgeable!

Ask for Carrie. She was exceptional. Fun, kind, and extremely knowledgeable!

Our guide, Brayden did a terrific job both keeping us safe while driving as well as letting us know all about the park, wildlife and the area. We really enjoyed getting to know the other people on our trip and the sights were amazing. The highlight was when bison came right up to the van!

It is a nice trip where you can visit the main places and not worry about parking as they handle that.

Having a knowledgeable guide like Mark who knew where to look for animals and had binoculars and telescope to facilitate the viewing was fantastic. He also knew how to facilitate seeing all the terrific sites unique to the upper loop. Mark thoughtfully brought tasty snacks , breakfast muffin and fruit, lunch . We chuckled about his reputation as knowing where all the flushing toilets are located. We had a great time.

We had a great experience! Coming to Yellowstone, we were overwhelmed and did not know all of the highlights to see in the short time we would be there. Steve was a fantastic guide and we had a great experience. I would highly recommend the tour!

I had an absolutely amazing time on our Yellowstone tour with Rose. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the park, super friendly and kind , and made the day so much fun for me. We saw all the highlights without feeling rushed and got to spot incredible wildlife through the provided scopes. We saw bison, elk, and omg we spot a bear . Obsidian Expeditions ran a top class tour providing everything from breakfast to picnic lunch , comfortable transportation with a SUV, making the entire day unforgettable . Rose truly is exceptional. Highly recommend!

Great day. Saw lots of wildlife and amazing features. Allison was an amazing, knowledgeable guide!!!
