YWG is a part-time step-on guide service. 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: small groups, families, workshops, educational courses, bus tours, van tours, specialized groups, and universities.

When you travel with us we would be glad to provide recommendations on any logistical information you may have as well (i.e. motels, hotels, restaurants, hikes, etc.).

We also offer a unique Yellowstone-Glacier and points in between exchange program to visiting ornithologists from around the world. In the past we have traded (non-business related or pro bono, to defray costs) experiences and hospitality to visitors from unique places on earth such as Scotland, England, Ireland, Argentina, Brazil, Thailand, Hungary, Russia, Israel, and Tasmania. We just like meeting people. Contact Terry if you have an offer you think he might be interested in, you never know.

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.
