This app was excellent! We stopped at places we wouldn't have stopped at otherwise! The voice was pleasant to listen to, the information was short, sweet, and interesting. Our trip definitely wouldn't have been the same without it! Make sure to READ the directions and DOWNLOAD everything ahead of time. There is no service in Yellowstone.

Purchase one tour per car. Everyone can listen at the same time! Experience the raw power and beauty of nature at Yellowstone National Park. This enormous volcanic caldera has captured the American imagination for decades thanks to its explosive geysers, prismatic hot springs, and astonishing waterfalls. Home to some of the only wild bison and wolves on the continent, this park can’t be missed. The tour can begin at any of the park’s entrances. Due to poor signal in the park, download BEFORE arrival and use OFFLINE MODE. Note road closures on park website. After booking, check your email to download the separate Audio Tour Guide App by Action, enter your unique password, and access your tour. These steps require good internet/Wi-Fi access. From there, follow the audio instructions and the route. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months. This isn't an entrance ticket. Check opening hours before your visit.
