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%

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.

Best guide, best animals, do this tour! - Wowowowowow! Vinnie as our guide -he was FANTASTIC! He has been in the valley for years and had amazing stories to tell while we were driving around the Tetons and Elk Refuge. We saw big horn sheep while the moon was setting, Wolves at the fish hatchery, bald eagles, Moose up close and personal, 4 HUGE elk bulls, and 3 mule deer, and more. Part of this tour is the Sleigh ride in the Elk Refuge and it is totally worth it (wear layers and bring your camera!). Vinnie had a lovely sandwich/soup lunch for us too. He went WAY above and beyond to make our day a once in a lifetime!

Wonderful! Don’t miss this excursion. - This was one of our favorite moments in Jackson. Bonnie was so informative. He never rushed us. We got to see moose, elk, and big horn sheep. The lunch was one of the best we had while visiting the area.

Great trip with the right expecta - Nice ride with a knowledgeable guide, and were excited to get up close with wildlife but unfortunately nature had other plans and even though we saw bisons and moose were quite far away, just visible through binoculars (kindly provided, along with some snacks and a lunch). The elk preserve does take you up close to the animals, in a large sleigh with about a dozen people. But there is no blanket provided, so dress very warm or bring your own blanket.
