          Amazing Time!
          My wife and I have done other safaris but this one topped the list. Our expert guide Colin explained all the different animal we saw with characteristics and seasonal habits! Wildlife we saw included Elk, Coyote, Moose, and Moutain Goats. All in their natural and beautiful surroundings! Amazing! In addition I want to thank the tour management for accommodating our last minute change of schedule. I would highly recommend this company and tour. I hope to come back and tour with them in the summer season!

          This was my second safari, 10/10
          This was my second time touring with Jackson Hole Wildlife Safaris. The first time I did a group 8-hour tour and it was awesome. I loved it. So much so that I brought my parents and brother (with my wife again) and did a half day private tour a little over a year later. Our guide Corey was so knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming! Also, what an eye he had! But the first tour guide was also great. Couldn’t recommend this company enough, they are worth every dollar and can’t wait for round 3 whenever that may be!!

          First Time Jackson Hole Wildlife Tour
          My wife and I did a full day tour around Jackson Hole during our first trip to the area and had a wonderful outing! Our guide, Jeffery, gave us an incredible experience during our tour. He was an amazing source of knowledge and information for not only the wildlife, but the geology, history, ecology, and conservation efforts around the national parks. He provided us ample time to view wildlife and provided as many possible opportunities to see a variety of species that inhabit the area as he could. The full day also included lunch at a local pizza bar that served a variety of food from lamb schwarma soup to barbecue chicken pizza. It also provided beautiful view of the surrounding mountain ranges! We also got to enjoy a horse drawn sleigh ride through the National Elk Refuge just outside of Jackson, which provided up close view of the hundreds of Elk that formed their herd in the lower areas of the refuge, as well as a deeper dive into the wildlife conservation done with the elk and other species in the surrounding ecosystem. Morgan was a wonderful and informative guide for that part of the tour. We had an amazing experience that has us itching to come back during another season to experience even more of the wildlife and area!

          A Jackson Hole must!
          This was the highlight of our trip to Jackson Wyoming! We were so fortunate to have Jeffrey as our tour guide. He was extremely personable, full of interesting facts of the land and wildlife, and had a fun sense of humor. He would definitely be worth a request!

          Our guide, Dave, was nice and very knowledgeable about the wildlife, geography and history of the region. You will see plenty of wildlife on this tour. We saw moose, mule deer, bighorn sheep, eagles, and elk.

          Dedicated search for wildlife in the Teton and Gros Ventre area...with a knowledge guide
          This was my eight trip to the Grand Tetons and first time taking a tour. It's well worth it just to have someone else drive who has the knowledge of animal habits and hangouts...Cody was very knowledgeable about where we might spot wildlife and dedicated to the group seeing as many animals as possible: coyotes, elk, mule deer, swans, moose, big horn sheep, and fox Not bad! Of course we wanted to see wolves, and the guide doubled back to several locations with his scoop, but they proved elusive, but even the chase to spot one was interesting, as was Cody's commentary about wildlife protection on federal lands. It was a great way to see parts of the Grand Tetons and the Gros Ventre area and we didn't have to drive.

          Jackson Hole Wildlife Safaris - Teton National Forest and Elk Refuge
          Guided tour of the Teton National Forest and a horse drawn sleigh ride through the National Elk Refuge in Jackson Hole. It included water, snacks, and lunch. Also provided binoculars for each of us. Our guide Jeffrey was very knowledgeable and pointed out every species of wildlife, stopped when it was appropriate on the side of the road and got the scope out for us to look at the animals and take pictures. It was 100% worth it!

          Great wildlife half day tour around Jackson, Wyoming
          Our guide, Dave Green, was extraordinary. He has extensive knowledge of the area and wildlife habits which allowed us to see moose, bighorn sheep, elk, and more. He was very personable with lots of good stories. I would highly recommend this tour and Dave as the guide.

          Barry was an awesome guide! We were a slower moving group and he was super patient with us. He was very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw lots of animals. He even helped us get the best pictures. Barry’s positive and friendly demeanor made our day!

          Wonderful Tour with Many Animals Seen
          We had a beautiful day and a wonderful guide, Jeffrey, and saw a number of animals including, Bison, Moose, Fox, Elk, Bald Eagles and Long Horn Sheep. Jeffrey was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the area and the geneology of the animals we saw and was otherwise quite personable as well. The 4 hours go by quickly. Highly recommend this guide/tour.

        We had such a great experience with Jackson Hole WIldlife Safaris! Our guide, Jeffrey, was knowledgable about the area, wildlife, and history. He made sure we were safe, saw lots of animals, beautiful views, and had a great day. We opted for the elk refuge, while others in our group did not, and he ensured we were at the elk refuge meeting place on time and with tips for the best seats. We would definitely book with Jeffrey and JH Wildlife Safaris again.

        Our tour guide was Jeffrey Meehan and he was an absolute delight. He was extremely knowledgeable and very easy to converse with. If you don’t have a ton of time in the Jackson area, I highly recommend this tour. It’ll allow you to see a good portion of the wildlife and scenery in the local area without much effort on your own part.

        Seeing the wildlife was an incredible experience, however I wouldn't be doing it justice without mentioning our guide Duane. He was a treasure trove of information about the terrain and wildlife. Seeing the wildlife is one thing, but to have him share his knowledge and expertise really adds to the experience of the Safari. Having your own binoculars for the duration of the trip and the use of a spotting scope adds to the immersion. You can see the faces of the wildlife very clearly as well as herds up to 2 miles out. I couldn't believe how well he could spot the wildlife (without the spotter). You'll just see a vast of land and he'll point out wildlife a mile away like it was nothing. Regardless, it was amazing to me and my friends. We saw moose, plenty of bison, bull elk, few pronghorn antelopes, trumpeter swans, American wigeons, and grey partridges. Unfortunately no bears.

        This was our second experience with this company and it lived up to our expectations and more. Our guide Jeffery was fantastic and clearly loved his job. He was extremely knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor and was wonderful company to have for a full day tour. He took memorable pictures for us and introduced us to one of his favorite lunch restaurants, which was well worth it. I highly recommend this tour guide and the company. It is evident they chose highly qualified employees and prioritize the experience of their customers.

        This trip was amazing. We were lucky enough to be the only ones on the tour so it was like having a private tour. With a very informative guide. We saw amazing scenery and wildlife. Our guide took us to all the hot spots for taking pictures and was able to find an abundance of wildlife. We saw Moose, elk, eagles, coyotes and big horn sheep.

        This was a wonderful experience that I would highly recommend! Jeffrey Meehan was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and engaging for any questions that we had about anything pertaining to the wildlife, local area and general questions.

        We were on our honeymoon and booked this as a special event, a full day tour and it went well beyond our expectations! Halfway though we stopped for lunch and per recommendation of our guide we ate at a delicious Mediterranean place called Figs! It was a lovely atmosphere and the food was very, very good!

        Overall 5+ stars for the experience and quality of the tour. Would recommend to anyone and will look to do it again once we return to Jackson!

        I love reading reviews and very rarely write them however, since we’ve gotten home my family has asked me 8 times if I’ve left a review for Jeffrey, so here we go... Jeffrey was hands down the funniest, most educated and easy on the eyes tour guide I’ve ever had. He was knowledgeable about the area, had a strong knowledge on plant life and was able to answer all questions about Jackson Hole and the Tetons. He was patient, kind and even made it fun for the teenagers. We came during a shoulder season (early April) so our expectations were low for wildlife activity with the migration but it was wonderful. I will recommend his tour to everyone we know that visits the area.

        Our guide, Jeffery, gave us an in depth introduction to Jackson Hole, the wildlife, and the history of Wyoming and the West as it at was being developed. We were able to see Bison, a mother moose and her baby, big horn sheep, elk and an eagle. No matter what question we asked Jeffery was able to provide an answer which was amazing because our questions ranged from nature, town infrastructure, Wyoming in general, etc. He explained the importance of each animal and the balance needed in nature. He gave my teenagers great photography tips. It was a perfect and wonderous day and one of our favorite excursions of all time. In addition, masks were worn at all times, hand sanitizer was readily available, snacks and water were provided and we had a lovely lunch. Thank you for a great day!
