Yellowstone and Grand Teton: Wolves, Wildlands and Wonders

Time to kick off your adventure with a bang – you’re heading straight for Yellowstone, the crown jewel of America’s National Parks and the world’s very first! Over the next two days, you’ll explore the northern section of the park – a rugged mountain wilderness where grizzly bears roam, wolves howl in the distance, and great herds of bison and elk graze across open meadows.

With your expert guide leading the way, you'll take in iconic sights like the steaming Norris Geyser Basin and the surreal terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs. You’ll quickly discover that Yellowstone is every bit as dramatic and otherworldly as you imagined – and then some.

On Day 2, you'll be up early for a once-in-a-lifetime experience – heading out with a local Wolf Tracking Expert. This unforgettable excursion gives you a chance to track and (if you're lucky) observe one of Yellowstone’s famous wolf packs in the wild. You’ll learn about the park’s rewilding efforts, its complex wolf dynamics, and the challenges and triumphs of conservation in action. After your wolf encounter, you’ll spend the rest of the afternoon exploring more hidden corners of the park.

Overnight: 2 nights in Gardiner, right on the edge of the park.

Now it’s time to delve deeper into Yellowstone as you explore the central and southern regions of the park. Over the next two days, your guide will lead you to the legendary sights that make this place so famous.

You'll witness the explosive magic of Old Faithful, gaze into the rainbow-coloured waters of the Grand Prismatic Spring, and take in the drama of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself wide-eyed and speechless more than once – it’s that kind of place.

On the afternoon of Day 4, you’ll have the option to visit the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone. It’s an incredible chance to get up close to some of the park’s most iconic creatures – all in a safe, ethical setting – and learn more about the region’s rich wildlife.

Overnight: 2 nights in West Yellowstone – a great little town just outside the park with shops, cafés and local character.

Your final day takes you south to the breathtaking Grand Teton National Park, where jagged peaks rise sharply above shimmering lakes and thick forests. It’s a haven for wildlife – you might spot moose, beavers, black bears, or even grizzlies if you’re lucky.

Take a walk to Inspiration Point for panoramic views, or enjoy a peaceful stroll around Jenny Lake, soaking up the stillness and natural beauty of the landscape. It’s the perfect way to wind down your adventure – surrounded by nature at its most majestic.

You’ll arrive in Jackson, Wyoming, in the early evening, with a drop-off around 6pm at the Antler Inn. This vibrant Western town is the perfect place to round off your journey.
