Joe’s the best!

Our guide was Joe and he was incredible!!! Our tour ended up being just my husband and I, and it was the cherry on top. Joe is hilarious, extremely knowledgeable, and made sure we were comfortable and taken care of the entire time. He took us to places that were off the beaten path along with popular places too, and tried his best to get us to see some wildlife - including moose, bison, and deer. Could not recommend this enough!

Animal safari

Our guide, Joe, was super despite the bad weather & minimal animals that were out. He really tried to give us an informative & exciting trip. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate & the animals were scare.

Glorious Day in the Tetons

Our half-day Teton Safari sightseeing tour was one of the highlights of our trip, and our guide, Joe, made it truly exceptional. Joe was incredibly knowledgeable about the history, geology, wildlife, and ecology of Grand Teton National Park. He shared fascinating information throughout the tour and answered every question with enthusiasm and expertise. Joe was friendly, professional, and made sure everyone had plenty of opportunities to see wildlife and take great photos. His passion for the Tetons was contagious, and it made the entire experience both fun and educational. We left with unforgettable memories and a much deeper appreciation for this beautiful area. If you're considering a Teton Safari tour, we highly recommend asking for Joe—you won't be disappointed!

Couldn’t have asked for anything better

I can’t say enough about “ Joe” our tour guide. He text us prior to meeting to check in and reiterate the meeting place. He was friendly, polite and very knowledgeable about where to find the animals, the local history and the past history that lead up to the parks and their discovery. We saw bison, prairie dogs, swans, and elk. He was determined to find us a moose…and he succeeded. (Several actually once it started to get dark.) He takes out his scope and gets the BEST PHOTOS EVER for those of us that travel with our cell phones and rely on them for their poor zoom capabilities. He immediately forwarded those awesome pictures to us after the tour. Our trip went late because of his determination to bring us the most memorable trip, and he succeeded. The waters and snacks were a great addition and their binoculars were EXCELLENT. My only recommendation would be to bring bug spray. Highly recommended this tour.

Operator response

Thanks for joining us! Isn't Joe the best!?! I'm glad you enjoyed your experience. See you again next time!

Great Tour!

Our guide, Joe, did a phenomenal job of sharing information with us regarding the Grand Teton area and wildlife! He shared a lot of information that just touring the area ourself would not have provided. We were skeptical to spend the $$ on the tour but it was completely worth it! The tour took the anxiety out of visiting the area! The tour started at 6 AM and we got back to our vehicle at 11:30 AM. We saw moose (mama and babies), elk, bear, bison, deer, various birds, and fish. He did a great job of making everyone comfortable and getting to know each other. He refers to everyone, despite age, as “Sir” or “Ma’am”. A very respectful gentleman who has great knowledge and storytelling abilities (and jokes). There were only 6 of us in the group which added to the intimacy of the morning. Thank you, Joe, for a memorable morning in the Grand Tetons!!
