Explore the National Elk Refuge and Grand Teton with a naturalist guide on a small-group Jackson Hole wildlife safari.

About this tour

Set out from Jackson Hole in search of the wildlife that makes this corner of Wyoming unforgettable. On this 4-hour Jackson Hole wildlife safari, a professional naturalist guide leads a small group through the National Elk Refuge and Grand Teton National Park, with the route shaped by weather, road conditions, the season, and your interests.

Look for wintering elk, bison, bighorn sheep, and birdlife on the refuge, then continue into the park, where you may spot deer, moose, foxes, coyotes, bald eagles, trumpeter swans, and, with luck, wolves. UHD binoculars and spotting scopes help you scan the landscape, while snacks, bottled water, and hot and cold drinks keep you comfortable along the way. Hotel or lodging pickup and drop-off are included, and each vehicle carries no more than eight guests.

If time allows, your guide may also stop at the Jackson Hole Visitor Center or the Moose Visitor Center. Join a Jackson Hole wildlife safari for a close look at the region’s wild landscapes and the animals that call them home.

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.

  • 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.
