All-Inclusive Expedition

The Ultimate Yellowstone Wolf Adventure

Discover Yellowstone's Wolves on a 6-Day, All-Inclusive Expedition

Join Yellowstone Wolf Tracker for a special in-depth experience that is sure to inspire a lifetime of memories. For over a decade, we have offered full immersion wolf watching programs: our premier, all-inclusive, 6-day vacation packages. Our flagship offerings are purposefully scheduled outside of the busy tourist season, leaving the park in solitude, for the wildlife, which equates to enhanced opportunities for wolf sightings. Group size is capped at about a dozen people, which we have found to be an ideal number for giving individual attention within a fun group dynamic.

Autumn

Autumn trips feature wolf packs following the vast herds of elk and bison to the valley bottoms. Frosty mornings often give way to warm, sunny days revealing the glory of this spectacular season. Search for wolves feeding on a fresh kill, hear the iconic bugle of a bull elk in the hills, all while spotting migrating eagles, hawks, and swans overhead.

Winter

Freshly fallen snow and frigid temperatures greet the adventurous who brave Yellowstone's winter for some of the best chances of witnessing amazing wolf behavior, including the dance of predator and prey, or pack members in the throes of dramatic courtship in the annual breeding season. Is hearing wolves howling on your bucket list? Visit in winter, when the call of the wild routinely reverberates in the valleys of Yellowstone.

Spring

A rebirth happens in spring when wildlife sightings soar with the arrival of migrating animals and the waking of sleepy hibernators. Birds, bears, and rusty red bison calves appear on the greening landscape at a time when female wolves dig their dens in preparation for raising the year's pups.

Beyond the Sighting

Full Days in the Field

We start before sunrise and spend full days (Days 3, 4, 5) in iconic Lamar Valley, using our scopes and tracker network to find wolves, bears, and bison when they are most active.

Downtime to Recharge

We return mid-afternoon (when wildlife is less active) for you to rest, nap, or explore the town of Gardiner before our evening program begins.

Evenings with Experts

The adventure continues after dark. Enjoy catered dinners in a private space, followed by fascinating presentations from local wildlife experts — a feature unique to our program.

Your 6-Day Adventure Itinerary

Day 1

Arrive & Settle In

Arrive in Bozeman, MT and check into your pre-booked airport hotel. Your adventure begins tomorrow. Rest up — the wolves are waiting.

Day 2

Orientation & First Sighting

We'll pick you up late morning for the scenic drive to Gardiner. After lunch, we'll have an orientation on wolf recovery history before heading into the park for your first afternoon of wildlife tracking.

Days 3–5

Full Field Days in Lamar Valley

These are the core of your expedition. We'll be out before sunrise for three full days in the Lamar Valley and Northern Range — tracking and observing wolves, bears, bison, and more. We return mid-afternoon for rest, then reconvene for catered dinners and expert evening presentations.

Day 6

Final Breakfast & Depart

Enjoy a casual breakfast with your group, sharing memories of the week. We'll then transport you back to the Bozeman airport for your flight home. Please book return flights after 12 PM.

An Authentic Field Expedition, Not a "Tourist" Trip

We Go Where the Wildlife Is

We focus your expedition on the Northern Range, Yellowstone's wildlife-rich "Serengeti." This is where the wolves and bison thrive, giving us the best possible opportunities for incredible sightings.

Comfortable, Modern & Safe

From our fleet of vans to our partner hotels — your excursion is carefully planned with your comfort and convenience in mind. No roughing it required.

Get the Best View, Keep the Best Photo

Wolves are almost always at a distance, far beyond the zoom of a cell phone. We provide high-powered spotting scopes and record photos through them — so you stay in the moment and still take the memory home.
