YWG is a part-time step-on guide service. And most people are coming to Yellowstone with a personal or rental vehicle anyway. In a step-on guide system, the client provides the transportation, entrance fees, and food for the outing, and we provide the services of a professional wildlife guide and the experience of a lifetime. This type of service saves the visitor both time and money. And whether the fuel and food prices go up or down, it is a substantial saving for the visitor. We cater to a variety of clientele including: bus tours, van tours, specialized groups, universities, small groups and families.

We would be glad to provide recommendations on any logistical information you may have as well (e.g., motels, hotels, lodges, cabins, restaurants, hikes, transportation, etc.). Wildlife-viewing clients staying a minimum of two days or more may want to inquire about staying in unique cabins, and all inclusive packages or also partial-packages can be arranged upon request.

Tips: Tips are a way of saying thank you for quality service, such as one does for waitresses, waiters, etc. If your guide performs exceptional service or you witness an exceptional Yellowstone wildlife adventure, a gratuity would be appreciated. Under no circumstances are tips required, except when dealing with large groups.
