About
Purchase one tour per car. Everyone can listen at the same time!
Experience the raw power and beauty of nature at Yellowstone National Park.

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.

The tour and information were good, however, our signal in most of the park was so poor that it worked about 20% of the time. I had purchased a data plan on my Apple iPad Air and downloaded the app and maps prior to entering the park. It’s a big download, took 15 minutes on the hotel WiFi. The tour started off well at the south entrance, then our vehicle was lost to the program. It found us, again, at the Old Faithful area. We stopped and walked the area, so that was not supported by the tour. When we left that area, we again lost the signal or it lost us and we were never able to sync with the tour. I’m not sure if the problem is our AT&T cellular data plan or the lack of signal strength in the areas of the park away from the “main” tourist areas. For most of our time in Yellowstone we had 0 bars indicating signal strength. No phone service, no cell data plan, only smoke signals would have worked. Maybe Shumers’ infrastructure bill will provide $ to bring communication in the National Parks into the 21st century. Or not.

Never sent a password to activate. Tried to call, never got through. App also won’t work without password. A waste of money. Groupon site says doesn’t expire, then received a message it would expire in one day.

The audio tour guide, really helps us to actually spot the highlights of our visit inside the park. A very nice thing to have while driving in the park, as it helps you to map out where you are going. At one point, we kinda use it as our GPS. The audio narrator is very clear. There is just one incident that the Tour guide we downloaded prior we enter the Yellostone park was kicked out from the app itself, this happens on day 4 of our visit, so we have to wait for an internet service in order to download it again. But overall it was nice to have it. I will definitely recommend this Tour guide app to anyone who would like to visit Yellowstone.

All tour directions were accurate and extremely helpful for self-touring. The narration had so much interesting historic information and stories that my teenager and young adult in the group became silent and attentive. The family thanked me for buying this tour, we enjoyed it very much.

Loved the audio tour. It’s nice to do things at your own pace and you can pick and choose which places to stop or skip. Nice history lessons behind the stops, I learned a lot of interesting facts. One tip would be to start the tour before you lose internet service in remote park areas. I downloaded the offline map but since I did not start the tour before going into the park and losing internet connection, I could not open the app. This happened for the Yellowstone audio tour, same company, but I was able to use the grand Teton audio tour with no problem. I also like that the tour is mine to keep and I can reuse whenever. Great inexpensive alternative to spending a couple hundred bucks on a hired in-person tour.

This was an awesome tour of Yellowstone. We only had a day and didn’t want to miss anything. The great thing is that you could do it in one day or four depending on what you stop at to explore. I loved the history and tidbits it provided. Awesome tour!

A great way to see the Park on your schedule! Very informative and easy to use. Just make sure and follow the instructions and download the route as there is limited service in the park. We really enjoyed how informative this was and we didnt need a professional guide.

The narration and GPS following us were very interesting and informative. The problem was a technical one...in order to hear the narration one had to disconnect from Android auto and turn off Bluetooth. This drained the phone battery. Fixing this would improve the experience.

Thank you for your insightful feedback. I am glad that you found the narration informative. However, we acknowledge that there's an integration issue with Android Auto. Rest assured that we're currently working on a solution that will be available soon. You can use an Aux cable for the audio as a temporary workaround to avoid repetitive disconnection. We sincerely appreciate your patience in this matter. If you have plans to travel, you might want to check out our Action+ Tour Bundle.

Great info and liked that it seemed to “know where we were”. We were on the south loop in Yellowstone. As we turned west at the top of the loop, it seemed to carry on to the north loop and we had no info on the very end of the trip. Other than that, it was great.

This itinerary sounds amazing but jam packed, and without knowing the driving distances between each stop, it’s difficult to know how long it would take to get through it in its entirety. What might be reasonably accomplished within one or two days visiting YNP? Can the itinerary be shortened or customized?

We saw everything we wanted to in 2 days. The 1st day we drove aroung the lower loop clockwise so we hit old Faithful in the afternoon, and it wasn't crowded. The 2nd day we did the upper loop. You could do a 3rd day if you stop at every attraction and do the longer walks to get to the site. We didn't.

Thank you Tara! Yellowstone National Park can be accessed through five entrances: North, Northeast, East, South, and West. Each entrance offers unique opportunities to explore the park's attractions, enabling you to choose the one that best suits your schedule and preferences.
Are the driving directions provided “live” by the GPS similar to MAPS on my car or pre-set ?

The tour is still valid! It will work from the minute you book and be accessible forever. Simply download the app and enter your password. You’ll see a few versions of the tour within — each one based on which entrance you plan to use. Download whichever one makes sense for you (or all if you’re not sure which entrance you’ll use). Feel free to check out the map or stories now. By the time you get to Yellowstone, you won’t have anything to worry about.

Heading to Yellowstone in September, can I order today and if so what date do i put in . If I order today and download the will it stay on my phone until the day I visit?
Travel With Action
Moab, UT1 contribution
Yes, you can purchase it now. We'll send you a password and an app. Download the app onto your phone, enter the password, and download the tour. There is no expiration — the tour is available from the minute you book until forever! If you accidentally delete the app or log out of the password, just email us for a refreshed code. When you arrive at Yellowstone, go to the first stop (any entrance), launch the app, and follow the instructions! Stick to a clockwise route and speed limit for the best experience. Counter-clockwise coming soon!
I was thinking this may be useful for pre-planning but since I don't know how it works, I'm not sure. Since I won't be at Yellowstone when I'm planning, would the app have any value for planning. can I simulate a drive?
