Top Jackson Overnight Tours

A tour is the way to go, and we would highly recommend it and our tour guide, John. John was very knowledgeable, organized, and accommodating. He maximized the use of our time, while allowing us the opportunity to just soak in the beauty of the park. One of the best things about a tour is that you are dropped off and picked up near the venue you are visiting, saving the time and frustration of parking and walking, often over 30 minutes, to your destination. John even sent us a link afterwards to view pictures and videos that he had taken on our trip. I might also add that the meals and snacks provided on the tour were delicious, and there was always cold water available to keep us hydrated!

Great way to see a lot of the park highlights without the hassle of navigating or parking. Eddie was the best guide that we could have asked for!

Great experience with the tour company. They were great at also providing other recommendations on things to do around Jackson and places to stay and eat before and during our tour. Aaron was a great tour guide and knew all the shortcuts, places to see and was very knowledgeable about the history of the park. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Great tracking and informative! We loved that even if we did go off track, when we got back in car, the narrator knew where we were and picked up where we left off.

I just returned from a terrific two-day private trip to Yellowstone with Yellowstone Day Tours, starting out of Jackson. I wanted to focus primarily on seeing the landscape and wildlife in Yellowstone -- as opposed to the geothermal features -- and because the trip was private, my guide was able to customize it accordingly. I was not disappointed. We saw nesting herons, coyotes, four black bears (including one cub) and a grizzly bear, elk, pronghorn antelope, mountain goats (rare!), trumpet swans, a marmot, unita ground squirrels (fairly ubiquitous in YS but they were a first for me), white pelicans, bald eagles, and literally thousands of bison. And because it was a two-day tour, staying the night in Cooke City, MT -- I stayed in a clean, basic cabin at a local motel included in trip price along with all meals -- we were able to cover lots of ground. Some of the most beautiful places we visited were off the beaten path and I would never have known to have taken those routes without a guide. But the thing I appreciated the most was that my guide was very skilled at spotting wildlife. Whether it was a bear out on a mountain over a mile (maybe two) away, a mountain goat and kid in a cave near the northeast entrance to the park, or a coyote catching its breakfast near Jackson Lake, it was really impressive. Once my guide spotted an animal with his binoculars or scope, he would set up the scope with a phone-scope attachment so I could see the image clearly on his phone (i.e., a nice, large, flat surface) that could also take video and photos of the images. All of which he texted to me at the end of the trip. I really can't recommend this trip enough. Yes, lodging and meals were fairly basic (although I had a wonderful smoked trout dinner in Cooke City) and the tour is expensive, but I thought it was worth every penny for a once-in-a-lifetime, totally customizable experience.

TLDR, if you’re looking to book a private tour of Yellowstone or Grand Teton we had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Teton Excursions and cannot recommend them highly enough. The unabridged version.. Our family of four booked tours for a full day in Yellowstone (Lower Loop) and a half day in Grand Teton and Aaron was our most excellent, excellent guide. We were picked up at our hotel in Jackson at 7am and by 7:15 we were stopped on the side of the road taking pictures of a herd of young Bull Elk. Unreal. We hit all the highlights in the lower Yellowstone loop and quite a few secret little spots and although that first day was around 12 hours, it really felt like half that at most. Lunch was pre ordered from a local cafe in Jackson was really delicious, and Aaron took care of setting everything up while we went off and purchased way too many souvenirs from the gift shop at the Old Faithful Inn. Day one was huge success, our young kids (9 & 6) didn’t get bored once as it was so interactive and Aaron kept them very engaged all day. We also discovered THEE Yellow Stone. Day two was a more relaxed day in Grand Teton where we hit a few touristy hotspots, but also did a couple small hikes more off the beaten path. We covered a lot of ground and saw some unforgettable sights once again, which I guess is kind of impossible in hindsight. Over the course of both days, we learned an enormous amount about the history of the parks (Moran, Colter, Lewis & Clark etc..), the wildlife and their migration paths, the continental divide, you name it. If we had a question, Aaron had the answer. This was a bucket list trip for us, and could not have imagined a better experience. We will be back to explore more of Yellowstone in the future with Teton Excursions for sure. Thank you Aaron and Emily for taking such great care of us!

The app keeps up with where you are even when you don’t have cell service. Make sure you have a way to keep your phone on charge in your vehicle. It did drain the battery. My husband thought it was strange at first but it did point out to us places to stop that we would have missed without it. The historical information was educational as we drove in the long stretches without anything to stop and see.

Very helpful commentary while doing thru the national parks. Learned a lot of useful info and helped find good stops

What an amazing experience in Yellowstone National Park! My siblings and our spouses had a perfect two-day experience in the park with the perfect mix of seeing the sites like Grand Prismatic, Norris Geyser Basin, Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, Mud Volcano, Old Faithful, etc., while also taking plenty of time in Hayden Valley and Lamar Valley to have some truly unforgettable experiences with the wildlife in the park. Our guide Johnny was a knowledgeable and fun host over the course of the tour.

Easy to download and cue up, narration followed right along with where we were and allowed for stops (or not), provided interesting factoids about many points along the route. We enjoyed our tour!

What a fabulous experience. I cannot recommend highly enough and well worth the time and cost. Kyle was so enthusiastic, knowledgeable and entertaining and kept my young adult children enthralled throughout. He went out of his way to find the ideal wildlife viewing and was genuinely excited as he showed us the wolves, bears, bison and other highlights over the 2 days. His geological and historical knowledge also brought so much of these wonderful parks to life. Thanks so much!!!Phil

Moses is truly an exceptional guide and made our trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton unforgettable. His knowledge of the parks, wildlife, and the Jackson, WY area is incredible, and he shares it in such an engaging way that every stop feels special.From the moment we met him, Moses was warm, polite, and incredibly accommodating. He’s also a very safe and attentive driver, and his van is spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with binoculars for spotting wildlife.The picnic lunches from Creekside Deli were delicious, and Moses picked absolutely stunning locations for us to stop and enjoy the views. We did both the Yellowstone Lower Loop and the Grand Teton tours back-to-back, and my wife, our three teenage daughters, and I had the best time. Moses made a point to connect with each of us, answer all our questions, and ensure we were getting the most out of every moment.If you’re looking for an unforgettable way to experience Yellowstone and Grand Teton, look no further – Moses is simply the best! We can’t recommend him highly enough.

Only way to see the park is having Johnny give you a private tour! Our family saw so much more with him and his great knowledge of the park and where to see all the different wildlife! His luxurious van was super comfortable and stocked with drinks and healthy snacks.

If you love the great outdoors, mountains & seeing wildlife, e.g. buffalos, eagles, deer, marmots, you will love Yellowstone & Grand Teton. Trails for hiking, campsites/hotels, geysers, waterfalls and rivers. We also did rafting & saw Old Faithful. Nearby is Jackson Hole where there are stagecoach rides and even saw an old western gunfight in the streets. Great trip!

Moses was a great guide!! He was so knowledge about Yellowstone Park and new all of the amazing places to stop at!! Definitely recommend!!

Outstanding tours of Yellowstone and Tetons. Stacy is very thorough, very personable and very knowledgeable. Our group was adults and pre-teens, and he was able to communicate successfully with the entire group. Excellent tours with a great breadth of knowledge and interesting stories. Highly recommend.
