Overview

Spend a full day touring Grand Teton National Park by land and by water and experience the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem in a truly unique way. Jackson Hole Wildlife Safaris and Solitude Float Trips have partnered to provide you an unforgettable day in the park – and you can only get it by booking right here. This is the only wildlife safari / scenic float tour entirely within Grand Teton National Park.

We’ll spend the day searching for larger mammals, like grizzly bear, black bear, moose, bison and elk. Our professional guides will navigate you along the roadways that loop around forests and along the shorelines of beautifully clear, glacially fed lakes. We will spend our time on road-based wildlife spotting, pausing during the day for a river-based adventure, where we join our partner for a 10-mile scenic float on the Wild and Scenic Snake River in Grand Teton National Park where you may spot bald eagles, osprey, marmots or beavers. From the Snake River, you will witness the glory of the dramatic Teton Range with photo opportunities that Ansel Adams could only dream of. This tour will reveal the wonderful variety of alpine scenery that can be found throughout the park, and it provides opportunities to access a spectrum of habitats where different wildlife species can be found.
