What Our Guests Say

If I could give more than five stars I would! I had a wonderful time with Kyle, my guide, for the day long wildlife tour in the Tetons. He was a wealth of information and had a special gift for spotting wildlife. His enthusiasm for wildlife was contagious! The van was very comfortable and snacks and drinks were provided throughout the day. Our wonderful lunch at Dornan’s was also included. I would HIGHLY recommend!

We recently did two full days of guided tours, with Kelsey as our guide both days. We had such a great time. Of course it’s hard to go wrong with the beauty of Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, but Kelsey helped make the trip better than we imagined. First of all, Kelsey was fun to be around. She didn’t mind our lame dad jokes and constant ribbing between the seven guys we had. She laughed and participated which was more fun for all of us. Second, Kelsey really knows her stuff. She has a degree in biology and boy did it show. She was so knowledgeable about every animal we asked about. She knew about their breeding habits, their genealogy, and more. It was quite intriguing listening to her descriptions of what we were seeing. Third, she went out of the way to make the trip memorable. She simply would not quit on making sure we saw the wildlife we wanted to see. On the second full day tour, she told us she’d stayed up late reading up on many topics she thought we might ask about. It was really cool to hear that she took the time to prepare like that for our tour. We saw just about everything we’d hoped to see and more. Moose, bison, otters, bald eagle, elk, pronghorn, the list goes on and on. It is such a magical place and we enjoyed it far more because of the professionalism and dedication of Kelsey and BrushBuck Tours. Well done and I highly recommend you use them on your next adventure.

We had the best experience on our wildlife safari with Rachel! She was the most enjoyable person and knew SO much about the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, wildlife, history, and more. Our entire group loved her, so much that we canceled another tour with a different company and booked a second tour with her! The area was beautiful and the tours were great, but Rachel is truly what set it apart!

RACHEL is AMAZING!!! We booked the full day wildlife Grand Teton tour, she took us on an amazing adventure seeing all kinds of wildlife, majestic scenery and a fabulous local spot for lunch to take to our picnic by the river. We had such a wonderful time, we immediately booked another full day Yellowstone tour, Rachel was scheduled to be off the day of our second excursion...... BUT she decided to work and WOW this one was even better - after searching for black bears for 2 days we finally saw 2 bears within 10 minutes of each other!!! Thank you BrushBuck Tours and Rachel for making our trip so memorable.

Our family had a wonderful sunrise Safari. Andrew was very friendly & knowledgeable. We were able to see elk, moose, pronghorn antelope, a bear & a blue heron. We also received a lot of historical information plus some geology facts. The morning was a little chilly but- they provided blankets as well as, binocular’s and snacks. We were very happy we took this Safari.

I have searched for years to see a bear in the wild and Rachael brought this to life for me. She is a super star. Her passion and love of nature and wildlife made our trip truly special. We learned so much about the animals we saw and this tour exceeded our expectations. She started by asking what each of us wanted to see and then took us on a magical journey. If you have kids, she was awesome with the family on our trip and made sure she kept the kids engaged and safe. This was truly a spectacular tour that I will take every time in the area because it will always be ever changing. I will recommend this to everyone I know as a top pick when coming to the Tetons.

What an incredible day! Our group of six booked a private full day tour of Yellowstone and we were lucky enough to have Truman as our guide! He was amazing, so knowledgeable, great with our kids, dedicated to helping us find wildlife, and took excellent photos of the group for us!! We only had a day to do Yellowstone so I’m so glad we decided to book a tour with BrushBuck instead of attempting to see everything on our own. I would highly recommend! Ask for Truman!

We did the 12 hour Yellowstone tour with Kaya and the 4 hour dusk Grand Teton tour with Ryan aka Batman. Both experiences were wonderful.Yellowstone tour we were in an enclosed vehicle that was comfortable. Plenty of restroom stops are made. We saw 9 different animals including moose, grizzly, black bear, etc. Lunch was at a beautiful picnic spot. Kaya was so knowledgeable, kind and spot on when finding the animals!Grand Tetons tour was great. There was a storm in the middle of the tour which made for beautiful photos and a double rainbow. We got to ride in the open air safari vehicle which was an amazing experience. We ended our night seeing 3 bull moose!!

We just finished our tour with BrushBuck Wildlife Tour and it was amazing. We have been to several national parks but my 17 year old has declared this "the best national park experience" we've ever had. The rest of us agree! We did the 8 hour wildlife tour of the Grand Tetons. We were scheduled for a tour of Yellowstone but when that got shut down due to the awful floods, Ren and the staff at BrushBuck worked with us to change to a Tetons tour and we are not at all sad about how that ended up. Our guide, Cooper, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, chatty and was able to find animals that I'm sure we wouldn't have seen on a different tour. Including 3 bear cubs! I would absolutely and without hesitation recommend this tour to anyone.
