Must Do in the Winter!
We are so glad that we booked this excursion! Our tour guide, Mark, was incredibly knowledgeable about all things Jackson Hole and Grand Tetons. He was cognizant of the needs of the group and met them. We were picked up from our hotel and immediately off to see wildlife! The Elk Refuge is a Jackson Hole experience you do not want to miss! He also chose a great spot for lunch!

Must See!!
David was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was enthusiastic about sporting all the animals. He kept our 14 year old son engaged throughout the tour. It was a great start to our Jackson experience.

Kyle did a great job!!
Wear layers as the van is warm but each time you’re outside you will need to bundle up.
We saw several animals: golden eagle, bald eagle, big horn sheep, coyotes, elk, moose…etc

Great tour with Kevin
Thank you Kevin for a wonderful tour! We were able to see a decent amount of wildlife! Keep in mind this isn’t a zoo so what wildlife you see will be different daily. We enjoyed a delicious pizza lunch and enjoyed the wagon ride through the ek refuge.

Great day!!
David was a great guide! His mission is to keep you safe while finding great views of wildlife, and he did just that! We saw sheep, moose, bison, mule deer, and several birds!
He was very knowledgeable and keep us engaged (never boring)
He had snacks, and drinks then we got lunch with warm soup.
After the elk refuge he had hot chocolate and cookies waiting for us, which hot the spot.
The refuge ride was great as well, learned a ton and saw a ton of elk up close! Be prepared and dress warm, the range is windy and chilly.
I recommend this tour 1000%

Time
Elk don’t come down into the Valley until after the first snows- late December. The ride was fun, informative and cold!

Fantastic Tour!
My wife and I were initially worried about the tour being crowded and difficult to see the animals. We ended up being with one other couple and our tour guide, Kevin. We LOVED the smaller group and how accommodating Kevin was when we spotted animals along the route. He was very knowledgeable and kind. The tour offered snacks, drinks, and hand warmers should we need them. We each had a set of binoculars as well. We got to have lunch at Dornan’s which had an AMAZING view of the mountains and the food was delicious. We loved that Kevin was able to AirDrop us photos of the animals he took with his spotting scope. Overall, a fantastic tour. Would definitely do it again!

The perfect family adventure!!!!
Our guide, Vinnie, was exceptional!! Every aspect of this excursion was seamless, from start to finish: booking, pre-event communications, his incredible knowledge of the area, our delicious picnic lunch, and the photos and videos he captured, we couldn't have been more thrilled with our experience! 10/10, HIGHLY recommend!!
