    Important details

    • Bring your ID and any applicable park pass.
    • Park entry is not included in the listed price. The per-person entry fee for commercial tours is $20 for U.S. residents and $100 for non-residents; children ages 15 and under enter free. An annual or lifetime National Park pass covers up to 4 adults, and the value of a 7-Day Yellowstone pass can be applied toward these entry fees.
    • Optional guide gratuity is not included in the listed price.
    • Everyone in your party must use the same method of travel: snowshoes or cross-country skis. If skiing, bring your own cross-country skis, boots, and poles, or rent them independently; ski rental is not included.
    • Bring an age-appropriate car seat or booster seat for each child who requires one. Wyoming law generally requires children under 9 to use an approved child restraint.
    • Follow your guide's safety instructions. Stay at least 100 yards from wolves and bears and 25 yards from other wildlife, and avoid disturbing animal behavior. Stay on boardwalks or maintained trails in hydrothermal areas. Unsafe or hostile behavior, or failure to follow safety instructions, may result in your tour ending early.
