Half Day Grand Teton Wildlife Safari Tour
Description
Explore the National Elk Refuge, home to thousands of wintering elk, hundreds of bison, bighorn sheep and an array of bird life before venturing into Grand Teton National Park. Jackson Hole’s wintering wildlife is abundant with opportunities to see bison, elk, deer, moose, fox, coyote, bald eagle, trumpeter swans, and if we’re lucky, wolves. If time allows we might also choose to stop at the Jackson Hole Visitor Center or the new Moose visitor center in Grand Teton National Park. The guides at Jackson Hole Wildlife Safaris will make every effort to showcase as many highlights as possible, and will structure the day around making your experience a memorable one. They will take current road conditions, weather, seasonality, and your personal interests into consideration as they move through the park.

His knowledge of the parks and the surrounding area was exceptional, and his attention to detail was evident throughout the entire tour. Matt went above and beyond to meet the interests and requests of everyone in our group. He actively sought out incredible wildlife sightings, making each stop exciting and memorable. He was also incredibly helpful with taking photos, ensuring we captured amazing memories while still enjoying the experience. Most importantly, Matt made sure every guest felt welcomed, comfortable, and well cared for from start to finish. His friendly personality, professionalism, and genuine passion for the area made the day even more enjoyable. If you’re visiting Jackson Hole, I highly recommend requesting Matt M. for your wildlife safari—you won’t be disappointed!
I cannot speak highly enough about our guide, Becky. She was incredibly sweet and impeccably knowledgeable. With her leadership, the tour was an experience I'll remember for the rest of my life. The entire package was so worth the price - the ease of being picked up, the provision of high quality snacks, hot drinks, powerful binoculars, and a super friendly group. I wish it lasted all day. Jackson Hole is so beautiful and Becky did such a wonderful job showing us some of its very best.
Thank you Sean! We're happy to hear that you had a wonderful experience on your tour of the Grand Tetons with Becky.
Today we had a wonderful half day wildlife safari excursion with this company. They picked us up at our hotel. We had two other couples in our van. Our guide, Grant, had so much interesting information about the animals, the history of the park, the trees, the plants, the geology, and the people. The time was so well spent with a great guide, beautiful scenery, wild animal sightings and time spent with delightful new friends. We really felt like we received a fun and excellent excursion.
Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that you had a great experience on your tour of the Grand Tetons with Grant.

Absolutely wonderful tour of Grand Teton National Park! Our guide, Chris Irwin was fantastic — incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the park, and somehow even more knowledgeable about the animals. My husband and I learned so much, laughed lots, and felt completely at ease-like we were with an old friend. As a bonus, we also left with upgraded iPhone photo skills! His humor, patience, and passion for the park made the experience unforgettable. Anyone would be lucky to have him as their guide!
