Private Yellowstone tours are available year-round, led by expert naturalist guides and tailored to guest interests with summer and winter options.
Guests can enjoy a luxury float experience on the Yellowstone River in a custom wooden dory for a private, relaxing river journey. On-property offerings include hands-on culinary education with Chef Michael Fekete’s cooking classes and weekly pastry instruction with Chef Dallas, both designed for small groups. Family-friendly activities include a Llama Meet & Greet where participants receive a keepsake and provide treats for the animals.
Ranch-style adventures extend beyond the lodge with guided trail rides such as the Flying Diamond two-hour ride through the Pine Creek area and a Hell’s A Roarin’ cowboy cookout in Gardiner that pairs scenic horseback riding with a steak dinner and campfire. A one-hour carriage ride showcases sweeping views of the Absaroka and Gallatin mountain ranges and accommodates groups up to 12 with custom options for larger gatherings.
