We did the private half-day Teton Safari tour with Jeff, and it was absolutely amazing! Jeff was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and the history of the park. We learned so much while having a great time. He was warm, welcoming, and so kind, making the whole experience feel personal and relaxed. The SUV was very comfortable and stocked with snacks and a variety of beverages, which was such a nice touch. We saw so much wildlife and got some great photos. I would 100% do this tour again next time we’re in the area

Shoutout to our awesome tour guide, Cory! My husband and I booked this for our mini-moon in Jackson. Cory promptly picked us up at the schedule time from our hotel. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing his own personal insights about the local wildlife and best time of year to see them. We were so impressed with his ability to drive through the parks and simultaneously spot wildlife off in the distance. We saw moose, bison, and even some pronghorn deer. Cory had various sandwich options for us to choose from for lunch and always accommodated our requests for breaks. At the end of the tour, Cory even shared his scope videos with us which we were not expecting! He was able to zoom in much further than our devices could so we appreciated his thoughtfulness to share with us at the end of the tour. Definitely book this adventure if you're hoping to get a great view of the beauty and wonder of the National Parks with an added bonus of seeing mountain wildlife in their natural habitat!

Our trip with Chaney was magical! All 6 of us piled in the van and everyone had a good view. We saw more than we could have possibly seen on our own-pronghorns, Mormon barns, elk, Jenny Lake, first snow of the season, mule deer, moose, backroads, gorgeous mountains. While driving she shared info on animals, geology, history, ecology. One of our favorite comments was to find animals look for "weird car behavior"! She was easy to understand, engaging, informative and as excited to see this area as we were. Thank you for a memorable afternoon!

We did a morning wildlife tour with Jeff and it was fantastic! Jeff was extremely knowledgeable of the area, park, and all things wildlife related. We were able to see a variety of animals during our tour (the highlight being a black bear, moose, and grizzly bear)! Snacks + beverages were abundant and we made plenty of stops and restroom breaks to ensure everyone was comfortable throughout the tour. I would highly recommend anyone visiting the Jackson area do this tour!

I booked this trip for me and six other women and couldn’t be more pleased! It’s hard to get people to agree, but we all concurred that Kristina was a wonderful guide! From the moment she picked us up with her cheery smile, it was a great time! While driving thru the majestic scenery and peppered with interesting history and facts, we spotted moose, bison, prong-horned sheep, and elk. Incredible! Kristina and this tour are highly recommended!

We booked Jackson Hole Wildlife Safaris for an all day wildlife tour and they did a fantastic job! Our guide Max knew exactly where to take us to see all variety of fauna in the Grand Teton National Park. He was extremely knowledgeable, and had an energetic and positive attitude. The tour company provided everything we needed for a highly productive day. I highly recommend this tour company!

My best friend and I visited Grand Teton National Park for our 40th Birthday trip. We booked a half day wildlife van tour for the morning time slot. Our guide, Brolin, was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He gave us facts about the animals and the park. We also had the best luck seeing animals! We saw a moose cross the highway, a herd of bison, a grizzly bear, elk, pronghorn and numerous birds. It was such a cool experience, I would recommend this company and tour to anyone visiting the area. A side note - the guides on this tour did a great job of communicating with each other to share tips about animal sightings - great teamwork to see!

Chaney made for five hours of fun filled shenanigans. Oh the laughs our group shared! We saw bison, moose, otters, awe inspiring scenery, and more shenanigans. We played a game of toss the pretzels and laughed at some of the historical facts she shared with us. She answered many questions and her positivity was infectious! As an introvert I was hesitant to go with my friend on this tour, but our guide made the tour the best part of my day! She was an instant friend. I highly recommend this tour!

We had the absolute best experience with our guide, Kristina Sutcliffe, on our wildlife safari! From the moment we started, she was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much fascinating information about each animal and the environment we were exploring. You could tell how passionate she is about what she does, and her excitement made the experience even more engaging for us. What really stood out was her flexibility and attentiveness. Because there were so many animals active that day, Kristina adapted our route on the fly, making sure we didn’t miss a thing. She went above and beyond, even staying past our scheduled time to ensure we had the full experience. We never once felt rushed—only cared for and guided by someone who genuinely wanted us to get the most out of our safari. This was an unforgettable experience, and we owe so much of that to Kristina. If you’re booking a safari, we can’t recommend her highly enough!

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.

Our tour with Colin definitely exceeded our expectations. We saw a small black bear gorging on fruit very close to the road, hundreds of bison , a moose with her calf and more! Colin also gave us tips on finding wildlife which really helped on the remainder of our trip. He also gave us hike, museum and restaurant recommendations.

We had a FABULOUS half day tour of wildlife in the Teton’s with Brolin. He went above and beyond to ensure we saw everything we could possibly have wanted. We had a lucky day and saw a bear, three moose, hundreds of bison, two bald eagles, two grouse, cow elk, mule deer, a family of osprey and more! He went out of his way to make sure we had the best morning and it was the absolute highlight of our visit to Jackson Hole. I would recommend this to anyone as a MUST DO!!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

What wildlife can we expect to see on a half-day tour?

Wildlife sightings vary by season, time of day, and natural movement patterns, but half-day tours commonly encounter species such as elk, moose, bighorn sheep, mule deer, bald eagles, bison, and occasionally foxes, coyotes, or even bears. Our guides track seasonal behaviors daily to give you the best chances for memorable sightings.

What is included in the tour?

Your half-day experience includes a professional naturalist guide, transportation in a comfortable safari vehicle, high-quality spotting scopes and binoculars, water, and breakfast or snacks depending on the time of day.

How should we dress for the tour?

Jackson Hole weather can change quickly, even in summer. We recommend wearing layers, closed-toe shoes, and a warm outer layer. In early spring and late fall, gloves and hats help keep you comfortable during early morning hours. Your guide will keep the vehicle warm but much of your wildlife viewing happens outside the vehicle.

Do we need to bring anything?

We suggest bringing a reusable water bottle if you'd like, a camera or smartphone, and any personal items you may need. Your guide will provide spotting scopes, binoculars, and snacks.

How much time do we spend outside the vehicle?

Your guide balances drive time with plenty of opportunities to step out, use the spotting scope, and observe wildlife at a comfortable, safe distance. Most stops last a few minutes to 15 minutes depending on wildlife activity. Your guide always chooses locations that prioritize guest safety, animal welfare, and the best viewing opportunities.
