Best of Jackson Hole Wildlife Safari Tour





Description
Thousands of mule deer, elk, moose, big horn sheep and bison migrate into the valley in search of food each year along with coyotes, fox, bald and golden eagles, swans, and even packs of wolves. This gathering of wintering wildlife makes winter one of the best times to view wildlife in Jackson Hole! After a full morning in the field we will enjoy lunch together at a local eatery before heading back out for the afternoon. When available, we will take a horse drawn sleigh through the National Elk Refuge into the middle of the largest wild elk herd in North America. Following the sleigh ride, we will head back into the field to spot more wildlife. **Sleigh rides are optional.

We had an incredible experience with Jackson Hole Wildlife Safaris, thanks to our outstanding naturalist guide, Becky. From start to finish, she made the tour engaging, informative, and truly memorable. Becky’s knowledge of Jackson Hole, both its wildlife and its rich history, really set the experience apart. She shared fascinating stories about the area that added depth and context to everything we saw. Her expertise in tracking and positioning was especially impressive. She seemed to know exactly where to go and when, ensuring we had the best possible views. Thanks to her, we saw an amazing range of wildlife, including moose, deer, pronghorn, elk, and bison. The absolute highlight was spotting a mama bear with her cubs, an unforgettable moment made possible by Becky’s skill and experience. Becky was also incredibly friendly and enthusiastic, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the tour. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Jackson Hole, and if you can, definitely request Becky. She truly made the experience exceptional.
Thank you Rachel! We're so happy that you got to see a lot of animals and had a great time on your tour of the Grand Tetons with Becky. We appreciate your recommendation.
What a great tour! We were picked up right on time. There was a basket of snacks and binoculars waiting in our seats. Becky was really knowledgeable about all things Jackson Hole. We saw amazing wildlife and learned a lot about the park. What a fabulous way to start our week in Jackson!

Our naturalist guide Jeffrey was phenomenal. He was very knowledgeable about the city Jackson Hole, state Wyoming, the animals, and their habitat. Also, he was very outgoing and friendly. The tour was educational and we learned a lot. We really enjoyed our day with Jeffrey.

Jeffrey is a fantastic guide, incredibly knowledgeable, and he took us to admire the various animals that inhabit the refuge and the surrounding area. He was a great help in purchasing our park passes and advising us on the best option. He led us along excellent routes and was always attentive to our comfort. The Elk Refuge is wonderful, and we had a great time there as well. Thank you so much!

This was a fantastic tour! Our guide Barry took us to all the places where the animals were! We saw lots of Moose, Elk, Muledeer, Bighorn Sheep and some Bald Eagles. He pulled over to allow us to take extended looks, take photos and video. He took some too with his telescope and shared them with us. He also shared lots of history and fun facts about the Teton National Park and the surrounding areas and the wildlife there. The day we went to the National Elk Refuge, we were able to see a large herd of Elk resting in the grass. It is worth taking the "sleigh ride" through the Refuge. This is a must do when visiting Jackson Hole! Worth every minute!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you Carol! We're happy to hear that you had a great time on your tour of the Grand Tetons with Barry. We appreciate your recommendation!
Our guide Max was knowledgeable and very resourceful in our hunt for the animals. He worked very hard to find a bear, but we were unsuccessful. However we did see moose and bison. Worthwhile trip
Thank you for your review! We're sorry you didn't get to see a bear but happy to hear that you were able to see moose and bison. We appreciate your recommendation!
Jordan was fantastic guide sharing history and fun stories as well as his personal experiences. The day was absolutely perfection weather wise. We learned some photography tips and took amazing pictures. The wildlife didn’t cooperate in the morning but Jordan persevered and finally we hit the jackpot. 2 bald eagles and mother and child moose walking in the river and several elk. We boarded the bus to head home and believe it or not we saw an adult and baby bear. A wonderful day! Lunch was great too!!!
Thank you for your review! We're so glad that you had a wonderful experience on your tour of the Grand Tetons with Jordan. We appreciate your recommendation!
If you ever get the opportunity to do this tour, take it! And ask for Chris Irwin. He is absolutely the best tour guide I have ever had. He knew all the best places to see and find the spots to give you the views of the sun hitting the Grand Tetons, the reflections on the water of the mountains, all spectacular. We saw wildlife that we did not expect to see. Do this tour, you will not regret it.
Thank you for your review! We're happy to hear that you had a great time on your tour of the Grand Tetons with Irwin. We appreciate your recommendation!
