Jackson Hole is a very special place to visit as it has access to two incredible national parks. As well as easy access to Yellowstone, Grand Teton is Jackson’s backyard. The border of the park sits a mere 4.5 miles from downtown, and 1.5 miles from Teton Village. You are always only minutes from jaw-dropping scenery and exciting wildlife when you visit!
With so many breathtaking things to see, booking a tour can help remove the stress and guesswork of trying to make the most of your time. We offer several different Grand Teton tours – you’re sure to find something that will fit your particular interests and itinerary.
Half-Day Tours
Don’t have much time but want to see as much as possible? Our half day tours are 4-5 hours long and have the option of either sunrise or sunset. This tour is ideal for getting a taste of what Grand Teton has to offer from towering mountains to vast lakes, from fields of grazing bison to a moose munching in a pond. You might get your fill of scenic beauty from this tour before enjoying the many other activities Jackson has to offer, or you may see things that you want to return to for further exploration in your own time. Either way, you will be surprised how much you will see and learn in a morning or evening with one of our local guides!
Full Day Tours
Want to spend more time out of town and in the park? Slow down and take your time with a full day 8 hour Grand Teton tour. Starting early, you’ll spend the morning searching for wildlife during peak activity before pausing at a scenic spot for a picnic lunch. This tour allows for more time to explore some of the back roads and more hidden spots to see what animals you might stumble across, admire the seasonal wildflowers, and witness the majestic Teton mountain range from different viewpoints throughout the day. This tour is more immersive and allows your guide to dive deeper into the history, geology, wildlife, or whatever your personal interests are of the region.

The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is home to an amazingly diverse list of wildlife species! Some of the most frequently observed animals on our safairs are elk, eagles, bison, moose, mule deer, and bears. Black bears are more common than grizzly bears, but both species are most often seen in spring and fall. Wolves are present, but these shy animals are a very uncommon sight in Grand Teton. Other critters such as badgers, coyotes, beavers, otters, and many many more live in this ecosystem, but are not an everyday occurrence! The thrill of wildlife is not knowing what’s around the corner. Every species has certain times of the year where they are more or less likely to be seen, so this will depend on the season in which you are visiting.
Grand Teton National Park is rich in both geological wonders and human history. The spectacular Teton range is visible from most areas of the park, and they look different from every angle. Jenny Lake and Jackson Lake are stunning sights to see. Oxbow Bend is a popular spot for a picturesque view of Mount Moran and a great place to look for birds and aquatic species along the Snake River. Stand where Ansel Adams snapped his famous shot of the mountains from the Snake River Overlook. Mormon Row, where you can find the famous Moulton Barn, is a wonderful place to step into the past days of early settlers. There are many more beautiful and fascinating things to see, it would be impossible to list them all here!
We provide both private and public tours, but we keep our group sizes small, so you will not be on a big bus. We use spacious SUVs and passenger vans. This allows us to focus on individual guests more closely, have a more personable experience, and we can pull over easily for wildlife sightings!
