Search for wildlife in Grand Teton National Park, enjoy a field picnic, and ride a horse-drawn sleigh into the National Elk Refuge.

About this tour

Set out from Jackson for a six-hour Grand Teton wildlife safari that pairs open-country animal watching with a horse-drawn sleigh ride. A naturalist guide leads the search through Grand Teton National Park and surrounding areas, sharing stories and answering questions as you look for moose, elk, bald eagles, coyotes, wolves, mule deer, bighorn sheep, and other wildlife. Binoculars, a spotting scope, and field guides help bring distant sightings into view.

Pause for a picnic lunch served in the field, with hot soup or chili, snacks, and bottled water. Then head to the National Elk Refuge for a shared public sleigh ride. As the sturdy horses carry you into the refuge, your guide points out wildlife and explains the area’s winter elk population, along with other animals commonly seen there.

This Jackson Grand Teton wildlife safari combines guided wildlife viewing, a field meal, and a classic refuge sleigh ride in one outing. Meet your guide at the Home Ranch Parking Lot, near the Welcome Center entrance. Book your Grand Teton wildlife safari for a memorable day in the landscapes around Jackson.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.90 from 10 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Jackson Hole
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.3.
