Highlights
  • Grand Teton National Park - The full-day Grand Teton National Park tour will begin close to sunrise to maximize the hours of the day when wildlife is most active. Your naturalist guide will seek out wildlife hotspots, often off the beaten path on unmarked dirt roads in our comfortable 4wheel drive safari vehicles. Make use of our Swarovski spotting scopes and binoculars to view the daily habits of local fauna, including moose, elk, bison, pronghorn antelope, mule deer, wolves, black bears, grizzly bears, bald eagles, and trumpeter swans.
    After a morning session of uninterrupted wildlife observation, we’ll enjoy a picnic lunch, then we’ll continue to explore the natural landscape of the park and if desired by the group, we’ll embark on a short walk, along easy terrain, to observe the smaller wonders of this park. Make sure to pick your expert guide’s brain on topics like animal behavior, animal adaptations, the geology of the area, local botany, and the cultural history of this special place.

Amazing beyond all expectations; Laura for the win - Where to begin? Our tour exceeded every expectation we had. Laura, our guide, did an amazing job of taking us off the beaten path to get a wide range of experiences. We saw herds of bison, groups of pronghorn, elk, otters, an eagle, and even a coyote chasing (and catching, we believe) a deer across a field. One could expect to see these things on a "wildlife tour," of course, but it was everything else that really made this day memorable. Laura is the O.G. at Eco Tours, and her knowledge and experience was, frankly, incredible. The day was filled with stories and information spanning all of the "ologies" - biology, ecology, geology, ornithology, etymology - as well as history of the geography and figures central to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and past and current conservation efforts. Everywhere we turned she had another factoid about the land, why a certain tree grew somewhere, what people used this or that plant for, why bears are found on one face of a hill while elk are on the other, how to tell one hawk from another, etc. She was funny, personable, and informative. I strongly suggest taking her up on the option to get out of the car and walk a little. We spent much of the day driving to areas away from the typical tourist spots and taking short little hikes (maybe 0.5 mile) until we found ourselves in the middle of nature without another human in sight. I feel so lucky to have met and spent time with Laura, and if we ever make it out there again she will be the first person to whom I reach out. I'm sure their other guides are great - the reviews speak for themselves - but our day with Laura was the gleaming highlight of an already spectacular vacation. I cannot recommend her strongly enough.

Experience of a lifetime - The day with Will, our guide, was worth every cent. He made our day special and provided us with an experience we'll never forget. We saw things we would have never had a chance to see on our own. We saw moose, elk, bison, wolves, coyotes, eagles, magpies, hawks, swans, blue birds, and we were on the heals of a bear. We even found freshly dug badger holes. All of the tour guides worked together to make sure that all of the EcoTour customers had a special experience. Great to see real teamwork in action. We were paired with one other couple and we all had fun. The lunch was excellent and high quality. Plenty of snacks provided as well. Binoculars provided and Will even sent us a video of the animals we encountered. Great day. Highly recommended. Just a great day all around.

Amazing Experience - Book Now! - I cannot recommend this experience enough. Our guide was knowledgeable and provided many interesting details about the Grand Tetons. The binoculars were top notch and the fieldscope provided amazing views of animals. Our guide sent us the videos and photos from the tour. He knew where we should look for animals and we saw so many. The picnic lunch was tasty (even my picky daughters liked their meal). Highly recommend!

Full Day Grand Teton Tour A Hit for the Whole Family - We booked last minute and Eric in customer service was patient, answering all my questions and went out of his way to find us a private tour that met our needs. We loved the full day Grand Teton tour. Initially I was worried that the day would be too long to hold the attention of our kids, ages 8 to 14. But the day was great and the kids were engaged from start to finish, 6am to 2pm. Our guide, Nick, was extremely engaging and knowledgeable. The kids wanted to swim in a lake and we found a great spot on Jackson Lake, along with a nice lunch picnic provided by the tour company. We visited multiple sites and saw so much - moose, bears, a bison traffic jam and bald eagles. But I most appreciated that our guide Nick weaved in just enough history and information about the ecology in Grand Teton Park. A great choice for any families seeking a day exploring with more than a little help.

Top activity! - Our guide Ben was very aware of everything, although we had already spotted a lot of wildlife during our holiday he still provides new elements. The roads they take you can never know for yourself as a tourist and so we stood alone with a whole herd of bison.. I would recommend it to everyone. From breakfast to lunch and snacks, drinks .... Good binoculars... everything has been thought of.

An Amazing Wildlife Tour guided by a gifted speaker! - Our private tour with Kirk Ryder exceeded our expectations! Every stop on our tour was breathtaking and his narration was like listening to a novel. We saw an impressive amount of wildlife and visited areas we never would have found on our own. We watched a grizzly and her baby, watched a black bear, sat with a herd of bison....and more. The quality of the binoculars and spotting scope was amazing!! They made the mountains and the animals look like they were right in front of us. Take this life changing tour.

Private 8-Hour Grand Teton/Yellowstone Adventure - Our family had a trip of a lifetime on our private 8-hour Grand Teton/Yellowstone tour. Our guide Seth Latka was amazing and went above and beyond to make our trip special and catered to everything we wanted to see and then added more surprises along the way. I highly recommend Eco Tour for your family, and I highly recommend Seth as your tour guide. Thank you, Eco Tour, for memories that we will treasure.
