We had a fantastic experience with guide Grant at the wheel! He was knowledgeable and took us to some great spots while also communicating to other guides so everyone traveling with Brushbuck got a good experience. We saw two separate moose, an elk, a mule deer, a black bear and an entire herd of 400 bison! They were on both sides of the open air truck and we felt we were really in the middle of the herd! They seemed pretty unbothered by us or stopping traffic. The guide also had an abundance of snacks, drinks, binoculars and blankets if we got cold. Several rest stops along the way if needed. Well worth the trip and one of our favorite experiences in GTNP! (We also did white water rafting!)
Know the weather can change quickly so dress in layers and have rain gear. Know that your guide will be knowledgeable about the whole spectrum of history, safety and how to find wildlife and work hard to make your experience the best they can. Our guide was awesome in all aspects.
Our family rated this as our favorite thing that we did on our vacation out west! Great value for the money. Our guide was very experienced and knowledgeable and we loved learning about everything she had to share. My only negative is that they advise you get there 30 minutes early but we did not feel that was necessary, whatsoever. We just sat in the car those 30 minutes while we waited on our safari truck to arrive. That being said, this is still definitely something we would do again (and look forward to doing again!).
Sully was an amazing guide! Not only did he make sure we saw all the amazing animals throughout our journey, but he also took video that he shared with us, narrated the tour with a plethora of facts and stories about wildlife, nature and the park. It was a very informative and enjoyable tour!! Nightly recommend Brushback and specifically, Sully!
We had an amazing Safari ride in Jackson hole. Our tour guide was Sully and he was amazing. He was so informative and patient with all of us. We were an all age group Toor ages arranged from 25 to 66. He was so patient with our senior member.
The safari tour was a great way to see parts of the Tetons that we wouldn't have located on our own. Our guide Hailey was so nice and very knowledgeable on the area history and she knew where to find the wildlife.
Excellent tour! Thank you, Sully, for sharing your knowledge and showing us around the beautiful scenery.
It was great and informative The driver was very helpful The scenery was amazing. We saw A few animals
Sully was the best guide we could have ever asked for! He had only moved to the area 3 months prior to our tour and we thought he had lived in Jacksonhole his whole life with all his knowledge of the animals and biology in the area. He made the 4 hour tour feel like it was only 1 hour with all we learned and how much fun we had! He was very interactive, made sure everyone had a good view and video of all the animals we saw, and even knew some animals by name the second we drove by them. I would totally recommend having Sully for any wildlife tour anywhere in the US!
Animal sightings aren’t guaranteed and you know that going in but maybe they could have some good alternatives when those times occur. Especially in light of the price this just was not a good value.
Thank you for the feedback. We strive to give everyone a wonderful experience and are sorry that your experience was not great. There can definitely be days where wildlife is more active than others as this is the nature of wildlife. This is why our guides are trained in overall interpretation of the parks, including park history, geology, and park immersion. We do understand that the days you see less wildlife can be off putting though. Once again, thank you for your time and have a wonderful summer!
