Great Wolf Tour

5.00I thoroughly enjoyed the Winter Wolf Tour with Matt. He's an extremely knowledgeable guide who led the tour expertly and shared his expertise in an entertaining way. We saw young wolves from the Junction Pack (up close) and the Rescue Pack taking their morning siesta (from a distance). We also saw bison, bighorns, coyotes, and —surprise! — Matt discovered mountain goats in a cave on a rock face. We even caught a glimpse of one of the first bears to emerge from hibernation through binoculars. I highly recommend the tour with Yellowstone Wild and would definitely book it again.
Fantastic Yellowstone wildlife experience!

5.00My friend and I enjoyed a fantastic one-day guided tour of Yellowstone with Mike in September. Mike is hugely knowledgeable about the park, and went above and beyond to share his insight and facilitate our photography requests. I can thoroughly recommend enaging Mike's services.... if you want to get the most out of your Yellowstone visit, and maximise your chances of seeing the park's stunning landscapes and wildlife, he's your man!
Mike Lagodny is amazing!!!

5.00We went on a private tour today in Yellowstone with a guide by the name of Mike Lagodny, Owner/Operator of Montana Yellowstone Tours. Mike was spectacular. We started off with our first stop after less than 10 minutes in a very nice and immaculate Suburban, where Mike showed us a momma owl and her baby. His equipment is such that one can see as if the wildlife are five to ten feet away. I have poor eyesight, but I was able to see everything today with unbelievable clarity -- thanks to Mike’s equipment. Within 15 minutes of being inside the park, we next saw an adult grizzly bear up close from the vehicle as we parked on the side of the road (up close, but actually 100 feet away). And it was not 5-10 minutes later that we saw 6-8 adult bison and 5-7 baby bison. We stayed and watched these for over 30 minutes as Mike felt like they would come closer to us. He was spot on as they got within 50 feet of our Suburban. Mike had hot chocolate, coffee, pastries, banana nut bread -- he was the host of all hosts. His uncanny ability to provide exactly what we wanted was second to none. Our most favorite stop was an area with a wolf den, and Mike quickly spotted the mother wolf along with a bear and a bald eagle nearby. After watching the mother wolf lay down for over 40 minutes, Mike suggested we stay patient as he thought there was a great chance the momma wolf might bring her new born pups out … Sure enough, after being extra patient, and with a bear and elk walking near the mother wolf, she stood up and pulled her small babies out of the den. We saw at least two babies -- possibly three. We were over one mile away, but again, with Mikes high powered equipment it looked as if they were inside of 50 yards from us. We can’t express enough just how good of a guide Mike is. He had sandwiches and drinks for us as well. He is a very safe driver and was very gentle with my wife Dana, who had been sick the past three days. Dana and I highly recommend Mike to all who want to explore Yellowstone and see wildlife and sights that must not be missed … We plan on bringing our grandchildren next time to introduce them to the wonders of Yellowstone. Thanks for everything, Mike! Sincerely, Jim and Dana S.
