Michelle is our hero! - I chose this tour as a part of my Bachelorette trip and it was a LIFE-CHANGING experience! If you can, choose MICHELLE as your tour guide. She was incredible. To start off the trip, she took us to a mama and baby moose. Further, the passion she exuded was contagious as we were following grizzly bears through the Grand Teton NP. She was so knowledgeable and took us to the BEST SPOTS for pictures and videos. I cannot recommend this company and her enough!! This is a MUST DO in Jackson Hole!

Amazing Sunrise Wildlife Safari - We started our winter vacation with a private Sunrise Wildlife Safari in Jackson Hole, WY. Steve picked us up at our hotel, right on time, and had delicious muffins waiting for us. We spent the morning looking out for moose, bison, and elk and touring the area. Steve drove us through the scenic roads of Jackson Hole and the Grand Teton National Park. Deep in the park the roads were closed due the weather and about 2 feet of snow. We did stop in the park to make snow angels and enjoy the deep snow. We were lucky to find several moose, elk, deer, Big Horn Rams, and a playful otter. Steve was an abundance of information. We were introduced to the history of the area as well as little tourist tad bits to enhance our stay. The tour was enlightening, even our young grandchildren enjoyed every second of it. It was snowing in the upper elevations; it appeared as though we were in a snow globe. It was beautiful. If you love nature and appreciate the history of such iconic places this tour is highly recommended.

Great Family Fun! - Great trip! Steve was an amazing guide. He was so knowledgeable about the area. We ended up seeing 5 bull moose, elk, bison and pronghorn. We also saw the beautiful scenery of Grand Teton. Johnathon and Jennifer were so helpful in booking the trip. Made for a great family adventure!

AMAZING WILDLIFE EXPERIENCE - As a last-minute decision, our family decided to book this wildlife tour. We could not be happier that we took this opportunity. We were able to see multiple groups of wildlife including a total of 9 moose. It was an amazing experience and worth every penny. Our guide for the tour was Jeremy from Idaho and we could not be more impressed and grateful for his hospitality and knowledge of the area. He was able to make the experience that much more incredible. 10/10 would recommend. You won't regret it 😃

The Highlight of our Vacation - This was our fourth time using GCWA. We have toured Yellowstone and The Tetons and both have been the highlights of our vacations. This time we decided to do the sunrise tour in The Tetons and it was spectacular. We saw moose and baby, bear and cubs, pronghorns, a beautiful huge bull and listened to the unique sound of bugling male elks. The changing of the leaves was also breathtaking. The tour is interesting and very informative. The guides know the area so well and the shortcuts to get there. If you tour with them at the beginning of your trip, you can then return to the parks with that knowledge and find the animals yourself. Jonathan, thank you so much for making our tours the absolute best. If you hear anything about the mountain lion behind The Rustic Inn, please let me know.

Cold, disappointed, but not their fault many animals weren’t out on a super cold day. - Our shuttle arrived right on time - getting picked up is awesome. :-) Guide was incredibly smart and educational and tried hard to engage us. However, we just didn’t see much - drove around for over four hours and saw a few moose, sheep, and of course the elk that you can see on the drive into town from the airport. And that was with binoculars or a scope - 1/2 mile away…. Nothing up close at all. Maybe it’s the time of year. No snacks or water offered as we were told. I guess I just expected more for $150 pp. i can drive to Caprock Canyon or Wichita Mountains a few hours from home and see bison roam freely and prairie dogs which was more rewarding than this. ..just feel like we spent a lot of money and time and didn’t get much out of it other than some nice conversation…
