Best tour if you want to see the whole park and wildlife - This was one of the best tours we’ve ever been on. The guide, Chadd, was amazing. He has so much knowledge of the park and the animals. He took his time and didn’t make us feel rushed when he made the stops for us to see the wildlife or just to walk around Bear Lake. We spent so much time just enjoying the beauty of Rocky Mountain Park. He was very personable and made our personal tour feel like we were going with a knowledgeable friend. I highly recommend this tour and guide. You won’t be sorry if you book this tour.

Excellent Wildlife Tour! - Chadd was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable about wildlife generally, and the wildlife in Rocky Mountain National Park specifically. Personable, too, and a good driver. A highlight experience to see RMNP wildlife.

Chad is a great tour guide - Chad is very knowledgeable about wildlife and all the interesting things to do and see on his tour! Chad is very compassionate about nature and wildlife. While we were stopped to let some elk and their little babies across the road, some guy started honking his horn, and Chad asked him nicely not to scare the wildlife. The honking persisted, so Chad said, nicely, that if the harassment didn’t stop he would contact an official, and they stopped. I see they also wrote a 1 star review, but they were not with us, so I wouldn’t give it much credit. All in all, you will not be disappointed!

Check this tour out!! - We had an absolutely amazing experience with Chad’s wildlife tour! I cannot recommend this enough for families, couples, or groups of any kind. I went for my birthday on this tour with my husband 7/26/25 and we had a blast! Chad made sure we saw all kinds of wildlife and was very transparent about siting animals not being a guarantee. Chad was extremely personable and SO knowledgeable about the mountains, trails, animals, and any other questions we had throughout the tour! I ended up getting altitude sickness during our trip and Chad was a total lifesaver and still ended our experience on a high note! We will definitely do this tour again!

Highlight of our trip! - Chadd was an amazing guide: friendly, knowledgeable, great wildlife spotter, flexible! This trip was worth every penny! He wanted to know our priorities and focused on those. We saw a ton but never felt rushed. Would do this again in a heartbeat.

Wildlife Bonanza - Chadd was great to work with. We had a last-minute transportation issue and Chadd was super flexible with us. But that was not the only great thing. We had a great experience! Saw tons of animals: elk, big horn sheep, mule deer, grouse, ducks, yellow-bellied marmot, and pika. Chadd did everything in his power to make sure we had a front row seat to the show. Chadd is quite knowledgeable about the park, its history, and where to go to find the animals. Would definitely book with him again.

Disappointed waste of $400 - Weather affected our tour instead of 4 hours. We got 3 hours for $400. Saw very few animals, and no alternative…Felt guide could have added information on park, fauna, birds something. He told us he has worked every day this season. He seemed burned out. We were two older ladies.. perhaps that was an issue in the lackluster information.
