We had an incredible day. The scenery is always going to be fantastic but Stacy hunted out animal interactions including Grisly bear, Elk, Bison. His knowledge allowed us to maximise the number stops and keep our agenda in front of traffic and other hold ups. If you have limited time this is the way to visit the park.

We had the best day with ROSE!! She was a wonderful driver. She was safe, knew all the shortcuts and the best restroom stops. She took the stress out of planning for us. She was very informative and had great stories. She took us to the best spot to watch Old Faithful! Thank you ROSE!!

We had a tour with Mark last week and had an amazing experience. We booked the tour because we only had the 1 full day in the park and the tour did not disappoint. Mark was personable, knowledgeable and extremely efficient with how we moved to different areas and points of interest throughout the day. We felt like we pretty much saw everything, minus the few things that we identified having seen the day before on our way up from the Grand Tetons. I would highly recommend Obsidian tours to get the most out of your visit to Yellowstone!

We (7) had a wonderful time touring with Stace from Obsidian Expeditions. We did a wildlife tour of the upper loop. We were NOT disappointed. Our guide Stace was very knowledgeable about the wildlife.One of our highlights was the stampede of a Bison herd in Lamar valley. The cause was the presence of a cinnamon black bear getting too close to the nursery herd. The bull bisons had a stand off with the bear to protect the herd.We saw so much wildlife and heard interesting stories of experiences and life in Yellowstone.You will not be disappointed if you book your tour with Obsidian!KK

Tour was fantastic. We saw more animals with Rose than on any others, they were also wonderful though. We went for the wildlife and received that and so much more. I would recommend her and Obsidian Tours to anyone coming up.

Stacy was a great guide with a wealth of information! He made sure to show us everything he possibly could (hot springs, geysers, wildlife, etc) while also giving us as much information as possible about the park. We loved the trip and would definitely recommend Obsidian Expeditions to anyone looking for a great time!

Yellowstone National Park Tour (Upper Loop)
This full-day tour covers Yellowstone's Upper Loop — the park's northern half, and its richest corridor for wildlife. You'll travel from Mammoth Hot Springs through the Lamar Valley, one of the best wildlife-watching areas in North America, before continuing to Tower Fall, Dunraven Pass, and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. It's a day built around wide-open valleys, high passes, and the chance to spot bison, elk, bears, and wolves against a backdrop of rugged canyon country. This tour pairs naturally with our Lower Loop Day Tour, which covers Yellowstone's geyser basins and hot springs. Guests wanting to see the full park often book both as back-to-back day trips from Bozeman. Yellowstone also holds a rich cultural history—from its deep significance to Native American tribes to the Buffalo Soldiers and other early stewards who helped safeguard its lands. Your day is designed to connect these natural and human stories so the Park feels more alive, layered, and meaningful. This exclusive tour is crafted to be seamless and stress-free, with expert guiding, thoughtful pacing, and flexible routes that highlight the very best of Yellowstone’s scenery, history, and wildlife.
Grand Teton National Park Tour
Step into the heart of Grand Teton National Park on a full-day private journey designed to deliver the park’s most unforgettable viewpoints, stories, and seasonal wildlife opportunities—without feeling rushed. From the cottonwood-lined bends of the Snake River to the jagged skyline of the Teton Range, your day blends breathtaking scenery with the human history that shaped Jackson Hole. Along the way, we’ll weave together the region’s deep timeline—from ancient seabeds and glaciation to earthquakes, landslides, and the forces that built this dramatic landscape. You’ll also hear the real stories of Native American tribes, mountain men, pioneering women, artists, scientists, entrepreneurs, and captains of industry who left their mark here. A signature moment of the day is your one-hour Jenny Lake Scenic Boat Cruise, gliding across a glacial lake tucked beneath the Tetons. Keep your eyes open for wildlife such as moose, elk, pronghorn, mule deer, beavers, eagles, osprey, bears, coyotes, and foxes (sightings vary). We’ll handle the logistics—so you can soak up the views.

This routing gives guests two complete passes through Yellowstone from opposite directions, bookending a full day immersed in the Tetons. Along the way, your guide weaves together stories of geology, ecology, and human history — from ancient volcanic forces and glacial carving to the Indigenous nations, mountain men, and early explorers who shaped these landscapes. You'll stand where history was made, ride a boat across Jenny Lake at the foot of the Tetons, enjoy a Tram ride to the summit of Rendezvous Peak, and scan the valleys for wolves, bears, bison, and eagles with Vortex™ scopes and binoculars in hand.

The middle two days remain entirely within Grand Teton National Park and Jackson Hole: the first at an easy scenic pace, taking in Antelope Flats, Schwabacher's Landing, and Oxbow Bend; the second a bespoke leisure day built around a morning Jenny Lake cruise, a tram ride at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, an afternoon soak at Astoria Hot Springs, and an evening of dinner and stargazing at Snow King Mountain. The final day returns north through Yellowstone's geyser country before a scenic drive home to Bozeman — giving guests two complete passes through Yellowstone from opposite directions, bookending two full days in the Tetons.
