Reviews of BrushBuck Wildlife Tours (Travel Agency)

andrew cove

We had Rebeka, and she was great. Although we didn’t see a bear (number 1 thing my kids hoped for) we saw almost everything else. It was truly a 12 hour excursion. Had a great time.

Timothy Sloan

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our full day wildlife tour in Yellowstone this week. Our guide, Jace, was impressive and thoroughly knowledgeable about the history, biology, geology and zoology in the park. He worked incredibly hard to insure we were able to see all the animals on our list as well as exposing us to some of the most beautiful venues in Yellowstone.

Tony Mountjoy

Words cannot express how awesome our Yellowstone tour was. Haili did an awesome job. I was amazed at the plethora of information that she provided to our group. It was well worth the money.

alekak vega

What an amazing experience!!Neil and Mark were amazing tour guides. They were so informative and shared so many amazing fun facts! MY husband and I are not out doorsy people at all..but this trip was everything. What an experience. Thank you.

Kristin Leonard

Amazing experience in Jackson, WY. We saw wildlife which is awesome but never a guarantee. Our guide was excellent... so very knowledgeable about all things Wyoming and the trip would've been worth it even without the sightings! Thank you Trevor the PUNisher (epic dad joke puns all day)!

Pamela Clemens

My husband and I booked the Old Faithful and Lower Loop tour with Brush Buck, and are beyond satisfied with our experience. After the tour, we both said to each other, “If we had to leave tonight, we would have felt so fulfilled with our experience already!” The biggest reason for our 5 Star Review is due to our tour guide Haley. Haley was so knowledgable about Yellowstone National Park, my husband and I got a mini education throughout our guided tour. She had a way of sharing the information that was natural and easy to digest. She never once came across as “pompous.” We would ask questions that she could easily answer and together the three of us discussed much of what we learned/saw. The tour is long, but what people may not realize is that Yellowstone National Park is SO big, that is takes time to travel to each sight. Each of the places we stopped at would be accessible for anyone, including those who would prefer not to walk as much. It was certainly worth every penny we paid, and we were happy to tip Haley for her time. This tour with Brush Buck will be something we talk about for years to come, and share with our friends and family as a “must do” in Yellowstone. Thank you Haley - we appreciate everything! Additional Note: I worked with a woman named Amber in the Brush Buck office. She was so helpful in making sure my husband and I booked a hotel in an area that worked well with their tours.

My husband and I just finished the 4 day/3 night Yellowstone & Grand Teton Wildlife Adventure Tour. Excellent tour, we had a fantastic time! The tour allowed us to see so many wonderful areas of the parks and take great pictures. Perfect time of year to go. Our guide Clint was absolutely amazing. Very informative in regards to the parks, the animals, and the general area. He spotted wildlife that we never would have seen on our own and helped ensure everyone in the group got great photos. Wonderful experience, wonderful memories. I would highly recommend this trip.

rudy rodriguez

Trevor is one of the brightest individual I have had the privilege to get as a tour guide. I was extremely entertained due to his knowledge of the area. I would recommend this tour with brushbuck, and it would be an exciting one with Trevor!

Went on a lower loop tour with Bobby a few weeks ago. What a GREAT tour!!! Not only were we able to see the natural beauties (Old faithful, Yellowstone Grand Canyon, mudpots, Tetons, etc.), we are able to see more wildlife than we ever thought. During our tour we saw: Osprey, 5 moose (3 from VERY close range as they crossed the road right next to our van), a herd of elk (from a distance), whitetail deer, several mule deer, a grizzly bear (from a distance), a black bear and (many many) bison. Lunch was also very good. Van was clean. The others on the tour were friendly. All in all a GREAT day. I would recommend this tour and Brushbuck to anyone who is going to Yellowstone for the first time.

Terri snook

Our guide, McKenna was great. She was very knowledgeable about everything in the park. Made us feel like we were hanging out with a best friend. First thing we got to see was elk, then a way up the road, we saw bison, right on the road up front and close. Took us to all the geyers. McKenna had a lot of patience with us as we were senior citizens letting us see everything at our pace. We had a very enjoyable time all to McKenna.

Barbara Paige

We just finished a 4 day tour of the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. It was excellent from start to finish. Our guide, Chance, was wonderful. He shared an amazing amount of information about the park, the wildlife and the human history of the area. In addition, he knocked himself out making sure that we saw and got pictures of as many of the animals as possible, not to mention the gorgeous scenery. We had a wonderful time and came home with great memories of the trip.

Kirsten Anderson

Highly recommend this tour. Monica was informative, professional and fun. We saw so many animals throughout the Grand Teton park all while learning tons of information. 5/5!!

Erin White

This tour was much more than I thought it would be. I expected to drive around looking for wildlife; I didn't know that I would learn so much at the same time. Our driver was extremely knowledgeable and full of history and zoology. We learned about what makes Grand Teton National Park so special, the delicate balance of the ecosystem, and the early settlers and their experience with the land. We also saw antelope, bald eagle, an osprey nest, a bison herd, and mule deer. We learned about some good viewing places so that we could try to go back and see a moose another day. (We ended up seeing one on our hike in Cascade Canyon - highly recommend). Overall, I was very impressed and I would definitely do it again.

Triston Faulkner

Great tour guides, very kind staff and learned alot about animals i didnt know about

Leonard Estes

Started a 6 in the morning and finished at 6:30 that evening, shout out to our guide "Paige" for giving us a day to remember . We totally loved the experience and would do it again. Thanks again for making our great vacation even better.

alesia mackenzie

Great experience with Bobby. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. We had a blast!

Days prior to the trip (which I did in late August on a Monday), I was contacted by Brushbuck Wildlife Tours to confirm details which was great initiative on their part, making me feel less worried about whether or not they'd turn up to pick my up from my hotel. I was sent a text message to be ready by 5:30 am at my Jackson hotel and McKenna was there outside my hotel to greet me with a smile at 5:25 am. She also greeted me using a nice warm beverage ;). We continued to pick up the rest of the tourists and it ended up being a intimate 5 person tour (including McKenna). Given that the weather was a rainy day, that did not stop us from having a great time and making the most of what was on offer. We managed to see moose, elk, funny and awkward bison, a bald eagle, and in all occasions, McKenna was there to point them out, set up binoculars and try and get us a decent yet safe view of the animals. We were treated to many scenic and beautiful views including the Old Faithful geyser, the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and Grand Prismatic Springs. Snacks were available throughout the trip (chips, bananas,water) and lunch was provided which included a hearty sandwich and fruit. I want to thank Mckenna our guide, she was down to earth, great to have a chin wag with to talk about anything (honestly). I would recommend her without hesitation. I also want to thank the people I met on the tour, because we shouldn't forget that it's those that we travel with that sets the tone of the day and your memories of the trip. Please, when going on trips, do not expect to see all the animals you want. Remember they are wild and don't appear according to a schedule. Appreciate the time and effort your guide puts in, in trying to make your time worthwhile (12 hours of conversation/driving/finding animals/trying to answer questions is hard). Work with your guide, communicate with them, and tell them what you want to see or do early. It will help them plan and make yours and your guide's day, that much better. Thank you Brushbuck, Mckenna, for making a suspect day weather wise, one that I will be able to remember for a lifetime. Chris (aka doorman)

Jo Ann Coronel

Our 4 day/3night tour was amazing.Our guide Clint was great. He found all the wild life and some spectacular scenic views. We had the unexpected pleasure of an early snow. The entrance to Yellowstone that was on the planned itinerary was closed. Clint and another guide Mike quickly came up with an alternate itinerary which turned into a beautiful trip up the mountains into a winter wonderland. In addition to being a great tour guide Clint was exceptionally helpful to me. I have some issues walking and getting in and out of the van. He went above and beyond to assist me throughout the tour. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for an up close look at wild life in the Tetons and Yellowstone.

Bill Parker Jr

My wife and I did the 4 day 3 night Grand Tetons Yellowstone Wildlife tour. Our guide was Daniel. He was professional, courteous and beyond knowledgeable of wildlife, history of the area, where to find the wildlife and anything you could think of. Daniel answered all of our questions, and had back story to boot. Having a rare February "Blue Bird" Day, took the tour to the Tetons first. The views were absolutely phenomenal. Had we gone according to schedule, we would not have seen the views due to a snow storm. We had 3 feet of snow to deal with as well as wind with snow. Daniel was safety conscious on the weather conditions as well as driving. Daniel knew where the animals were as if the animals were planted there by him personally. My wife and I were beyond impressed with this tour and Daniel our guide. I would recommend both the tour and Guide.

Jacquie Denny

This was the best tour and value we have ever experienced. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and professional. Saw bears, elks, bison, prong horn and coyotes. His knowledge of the animals of the area and history of the park was the best part of the tour. Highly recommend this company/Guide.

Jaclyn Emma Dorsey

Amazing!!! Jennifer was fantastic! We loved our dusk tour at Teton! We learned so much and had a great time! Definitely would recommend to everyone!!!

Brenda Stenftenagel

Neal was an awesome guide. My family and I loved every minute of it. We saw every animal we wanted to...actually eight moose in four hours. Would totally recommend them. Neal was so knowledgable and enthusiastic. Thanks for a great experience and after tour recommendations. They were hot!!

Andy Baciocco

We went on a full day tour with Chance as our guide. The beauty of the land, the knowledge of our guide, and the animals we saw made for a fantastic trip!

Lauren Romanelli

We had the most wonderful experience with Brushbuck and our guide, Kyle! He knew the exact right places to be at the right time for the best chances to see the animals and had endless information about the parks and wildlife. The tour was extremely thorough and well planned. Can’t say enough good things!

cynthia egido

We had the most amazing experience with our private tour! Kyle was our driver and so knowledgeable about the park, working diligently every step of the way! He educated us about the ecosystem, discovering gorgeous landscapes, encountering beautiful wildlife that was so memorable! He was so keen scouting out the wildlife and giving every opportunity to experience the beauty of the park! Thank you so much Kyle for a trip of a lifetime! You are a true asset to Brushbuck Wildlife Tours! My photos are a treasure and so many family as well friends have been giving us high praises! Best wishes always, Cynthia and José

Jan Merutka

We toured Yellowstone in January and while the scenery and wildlife were spectacular, it was our tour guide Adam who made the trip memorable. I still can't believe how well he can spot wildlife, how knowledgeable he is, and the lengths he went to to find wolves for me. One of my he best trips ever, and I've taken a lot!!!!

Jae Chang

Great customer service !! Will definitely book with them again !!

Heidi P

We went on the Lower Loop Yellowstone/Old Faithful Tour. McKenna was our guide and she was very informative and fantastic. Highly recommend.

Gerdur Gunnarsdottir

We booked a 12 hour day tour through Yellowstone National Park. I can honestly say this was one of our best day tours we have ever experienced. Our guide, Neil, was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic, even our kids age 10/13 year olds never even picked up their phones to check their WiFi signal!! Neil manages to keep children and adults entertained with stories and vast knowledge about animals and nature .. we have traveled all over the world and I highly recommend this experience!

Larry Hood

Had a great tour of Teton National Forrest last night. Four hours with our fantastic and very knowledgeable guide, Halei. Saw lots of Elk, some Deer, and even several Moose including a cow with her new calf. My wife and I highly recommend this tour and company.

K ATHY PARTYKA

Blair, is the most wonderful and knowledgeable people I ever met. We took the 11hour tour. Teton lake and Yellowstone. We were very fortunate to see a mama moose in the water eating, her baby on the shoreline hiding in the brush.. no matter what question we gave to Blair, she had an in depth answer to really make us understand. My husband and I got the recommendation of this tour from friends who were pleased with the tour. Glad we listened to them. Do this tour..... don’t do Yellowstone without Brushbuck!! Kathy Partyka-Dame

Jodi Litchfield

Awesome tour of Grand Tetons and Yellowstone! 4 days, 3 nights of great scenic views and wildlife! Mark is extremely knowledgable about the area and shared his expertise in an easy to understand manner! Absolutely recommend this tour! Worth every penny and then some.

Claire Lingley

Beautiful tour through the Tetons, we did the 6:30 am tour, it was a bit chilly in the back so I definitely recommend bundling up, (Cassie, the woman we spoke when we booked it, did mention that to us, so we were prepared)! Chelsea, our tour guide, did an excellent job and was extremely knowledgeable with a great dry sense of humor. The tour did seem like it was missing something, most of what we we’re doing was driving along the highway and stopping at lookouts to try and spot wildlife. We were lucky enough to see moose, elk, prong-horned antelopes and other grazing animals, and the scenery cannot be beat, however perhaps some back roads or a bit off the beaten path could be an option. Overall, we had an incredible morning and Chelsea made it all the better! It was a memorable experience.

Chris Wolny

Neil was our guide and he was wonderful. Great job and terrific tour. We even saw a black bear!!!

Jack Killian

4day/3night tour with Clint. Amazing trip. Exceeded our expectations and then some. Wanted to experience the wildlife and appreciate the beauty and unique thermal features. Our guide Clint was laser focused on finding our wildlife, making sure 3 families from 3 different countries were happy, and kept a very natural flow for the entire trip. I’ve travelled a bit and used tour companies. I have never experienced such a “well thought out” tour executed perfectly by a true professional. Thank you Clint for making this vacation so enjoyable. There are moments, like the wolf howling then looking through my soul via your scope, or the Tetons over the bison 10 feet away from the truck, or the fun hikes that always delivered something extraordinary, or the 4 bighorn sheep crashing horns and running up and down the hillside just yards away, or the little fox just hanging out at the rest stop. Lastly, 6 grizzly bears and 12 wolves sharing 2 carcasses. Yep, that happened.

Katie Davis

We did the full day Yellowstone Tour that went to Old Faithful, and it was wonderful! We saw so much wildlife, and the scenery was breathtaking. We were picked up from our hotel, were able to stop for coffee, and the lunch provided was delicious! Bobby was such a fun and knowledgeable guide! Highly recommend this tour!

Dwayne White

We had a great time and our guide Daniel was super and very knowledgeable . Was amazed by how well he treated my family .

Mark Carter

We participated in the morning 4 hour wildlife tour in Grand Teton. What a great experience!! Our guide McKenna was fantastic. You could tell she really enjoyed her job, which made it even more enjoyable for us. The van was very spacious, they offered snack and drinks. McKenna was very knowledgeable and did a great job of putting us in the best location to see wildlife. We would recommend this tour to anyone who asks!

Barbara Dillard

The four day tour of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks was a dream come true. Our guide, Kevin, was extremely patient with all the questions being asked by the seven people in our group. His knowledge of the history, country, and cultures was very broad and he was happy to share his experiences. Our accommodations were great as was the variety of food. The weather and animals cooperated to provide beautiful vistas and exciting photo opportunities. Thank you Brushbuck for wonderful memories

Cheryl Clair

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Kevin as our very knowledgeable guide! We would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the best of Yellowstone!

Anita Schaefer

This was amazing!!!! Our Guide Mike made the trip so unbelievably enjoyable for my Mother and I. He knew everything about everything...there was not a question asked that he could not respond with a very detailed and knowledgeable answer. He had the patients of a Saint. He spotted things that I would have never seen, pulled out his scope and gave all of us plenty of time to be amazed by the sightings. We had the opportunity to watch a Grizzly Bear feeding, a wolf pack, coyotes, goats on the side of the mountain, young Osprey eating in their nest, too many Bison and Elk to count, Mule Deer drinking from the creek.... We were very close to a lot of these sightings. It's amazing how Mother Nature allows these animals to blend in with their surroundings....We would have missed the majority of them.. My Mother is 83, Mike treated her with such loving kindness, she was in great hands with Mike. I was afraid it would be too much for her. Most definitely would have been if we had been on our own! I highly recommend going on a guided tour with BrushBuck, if you can get Mike get him, Mike made us feel like family! We went on the four day tour, Worth every penny. The places we stayed were not fancy, but very clean and the food was great! It was amazing to stay in the middle of Yellow Stone, Cooke City MT was a really cool town, beautiful scenery. It even snowed while we were there 9/5/2016... It was my Birthday! Mike was thoughtful enough to get me a Birthday cake!(Pumpkin Bread) from the restaurant we had breakfast at.Cant say enough about the amazing adventure we had!!!! Thanks Mike!!!

Susan Dess

The tour guide Sammie was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and did a great job of finding amazing places that were away from the crowds. She also kept us from getting bored on the long drives. I would recommend her and the company. The place we stayed was not fancy, but it was clean and convenient and the town of Cooke City was a worthy experience.

kimberly stephenson

I highly recommend BrushBuck tours. I was on a cross-country drive with my father and daughter with very little time to spend in the Jackson/ Yellowstone area. We hired Kenny for a private tour and felt like we saw everything and more in 12-13 hours. Kenny was extremely professional as well as knowledgeable. We all agreed this was honestly one of the highlights of our trip!

Pat Rubin

Outstanding 4 hour tour by Neil at the end of May! My husband and I were so pleased with him and how hard he worked on finding animals and birds for us to view. Neil is so professional, warm and made us all feel right at home. His knowledge of wildlife along with his stories were fascinating.

Matthew Taylor

Our driver was incredibly knowledgeable and professional in sharing all that Yellowstone had to offer! She was *excellent* with our kids, and we were all amazed by the wildlife, landscape, and ecosystem. We even caught a rare sighting of a bald eagle overlooking Yellowstone lake. Highly recommended!

John Foppiano

Excellent, 10 out 10 rating for the Grand Teton Dawn Public tour (wildlife, sightseeing tour). My family took this tour last week and we were completely satisfied and impressed by the abundance, variety and proximity of the animals we encountered. Our guide, named Jaclyn, was incredibly knowledgeable about the various animals we encountered, and had VERY interesting anecdotes about each animal we discovered that kept all on the open style jeep interested to learn . She was enthusiastic, intelligent, and made the tour a fun, interesting experience. We even tasked her with spotting two somewhat difficult animals to find once the tour started (a moose and a bear), and she came through and showed us 4 mouse and one black bear. That's besides all the outer numerous wildlife she found. Hats off to Brushback Wildlife Tours and guide Jaclyn. John

David Kronman

Sarah our guide was very knowledgeable. On the tour we saw Big Horn sheep, Elk, Bison, several Bald Eagles, coyotes, and a Moose.
