Explore Jackson’s winter wildlife with a private naturalist, then unwind in the mineral pools at Astoria Hot Springs.

About this tour

Winter brings wildlife down from the high country and into the open valleys around Jackson, where elk gather on the National Elk Refuge and animals such as bison, moose, coyotes, and bald eagles may appear. On this private Jackson winter wildlife safari, a naturalist guide picks you up at your lodging in a heated vehicle and adjusts the route to the day’s conditions and wildlife activity.

Explore Grand Teton and the National Elk Refuge, pausing to scan the landscape with professional-grade spotting scopes and binoculars. Your guide shares expert tracking knowledge, and a warm field lunch adds a welcome break outdoors. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but the guide works to find active areas and give your group the best chance of seeing animals in their natural habitat.

After the safari, continue to Astoria Hot Springs in the Snake River Canyon. Admission is included, so you can settle into the mineral pools and warm up after time in the winter air. Bring a swimsuit and towel, and dress in layers for changing mountain conditions. Book this Jackson winter wildlife safari for a private day of wildlife watching followed by a restorative soak.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide 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 7.1.
