Summer Wildlife Tours

May to October

We’ll be closed for spring break April 10 thru May 7. Book summer tours online!

Our wildlife tours are private driving tours in Grand Teton National Park with a knowledgeable naturalist guide. We’ll visit mixed habitats and look for a wide range of animals, raptors and birds. You can add on a hike or walk to get on the trail and leave the vehicle behind. Choose your trip based on time, activity level, and interests to customize for you and your group.

We provide: Naturalist guide, transportation, bottled water, a light breakfast or lunch, trail snacks, optics, guidebooks, butterfly nets, complimentary children’s activity book for all youngsters, backpacks, waist packs and rain ponchos.

You bring: An extra warm upper layer in case temperatures get cool while you are in the mountains. Be sure to wear sturdy hiking shoes or at least a tennis shoe with a good tread. We provide rain ponchos but if you are planning an all-day trip, personal rain gear is preferable.
