It is our mission to connect you to this natural world and breathtaking area, leaving a lasting impression on you and your family.
The Day
We will depart the town of Jackson close to sunrise to take advantage of the early morning light, to observe wildlife during one of their more active times of the day. We’ll seek out species like moose, elk, bison, wolves, black and grizzly bears, and bald eagles, just to name a few. Our route will head north into Yellowstone National Park where we can explore top destinations including Old Faithful, the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, and some of the best of the 10,000 thermal features of the park. We'll enjoy a picnic lunch in the park and then spend the afternoon strolling along boardwalks and short easy trails to gain an in-depth and up-close understanding of what makes Yellowstone unique. As we drive through the park, and on our journey back to Jackson, we’ll cater the conversation to your interests and our expertise, whether that be animal behavior, animal adaptations, geology, or cultural history of the area.

My family and I booked a full day of wildlife in and around Grand Teton Nat’l Park and a horse sleigh ride in Elk Nat’l Park. Our tour guide Jeff went above and beyond with his professionalism, his knowledge of the area, his patience with my two small children, and his love for the outdoors. He even made time for the kids to play in the snow and this was a big deal bc we’re from sunny Florida. Thank You Jeff and EcoTours for a great day!

We did 2 tours with this company- 1/2 day snow shoe and 1/2 day cross country skiing . We did the private tour and we were glad we spent the extra money so we could go at our own pace . The guides are sooooo knowledgeable!! I never write reviews which is why this is so short - but I can’t recommend enough !!!

Eco Tour Adventures did a wonderful job of not only having a professional and well versed environmentalist doing the tour (Josh) but we were rewarded with seeing an amazing array of wildlife.
