Northern Plains Travel Services
Custom Shuttle Service
Do you have a specific Montana tour you are looking for? Maybe a National Parks getaway, a fishing trip, a tour of the state's distilleries/wineries/breweries, Flathead Cherry picking in August, or even a full state visit? With our custom shuttle service. We are able to transport up to 7 people on one itinerary. Tell us what you are thinking and we give you realistic options. Please keep in mind:
1) The Chief Joseph Ranch, located between Hamilton and Darby, where the TV show Yellowstone is filmed has limited lodging availability, only when not filming, and does not offer tours of the property if you are not an overnight guest.
The newly built Yellowstone Film Ranch, located between Pray and Livingston, is a fully "operational western town backlot" and may be available for touring when there is no filming taking place or special events (weddings, reunions) being held.
2) Glacier National Park requires an entry ticket in addition to park entrance fee. The tickets for entry are offered 6-8 months in advance and sell out within minutes of them being made available, you need to plan far in advance to visit Glacier unless you want to enter before 6 am or after 5 pm. Glacier is absolutely worth planning months in advance to visit. If you are customizing a trip with us we will need enough lead time to secure the entry tickets for the duration of the trip.
It is an 8 hour drive between the closest entrances of Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks, it is not feasible to visit them both in one day. In fact, to fully appreciate what each park has to offer, we recommend planning 2-4 days each for visiting them.
3) Resort, hotel/motel lodging and even camping (tent camping or RV camping) inside or anywhere near the entrances to Glacier or Yellowstone National Park is limited and difficult to reserve, once again, planning well in advance is the key. If you have some potential dates we can keep an eye on lodging locations and availability.
4) Montana is big, expect to spend a lot of time in a vehicle getting from point A to point B. Air service is available between Glasgow, Sidney, Glendive, Wolf Point, and Have and Billings but you would have to layover somewhere out of state to fly between Billings, Bozeman, Missoula, Great Falls, or Kalispell.

Airport Shuttle Service
Many times it is much more economical with better flight times to drive the 2 1/2 hours to Bozeman to catch a flight. Do you have a group that needs to fly out of Bozeman and back into Billings or vice versa? Limited shuttle service between Billings and Bozeman airports currently offered. Contact us to check availability.
