About this tour
Follow Yellowstone’s winter wildlife into a landscape shaped by cold, snow, and the search for food. On this Yellowstone Winter Wolf and Wildlife Tour, an experienced naturalist guides you through the park, with Lamar Valley offering a chance to look for wolves, elk, and bison near the roadways.
As elk and bison move to lower elevations, wolves follow their prey. Watch the changing balance between predator and prey while learning about Yellowstone’s wildlife management history and the challenges animals face during the coldest months. Binoculars and spotting scopes help you scan the open terrain, and private transportation, a complimentary lunch, and hot drinks make the day more comfortable. Meet outside the Gardiner Chamber of Commerce or arrange pickup at your Gardiner accommodation. The eight-hour tour includes time for transportation; the park entrance pass is not included.

How this score is calculated
This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.
How the score works
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
