My husband and I recently visited Jackson, WY, which was our first time in the area. When we found out that Grand Teton National Park and elk reserve were right in our backyard, we booked a Grand Teton tour through the Get Your Guide App. We reserved our spots for the half-day "safari" tour that started at 7:30am. Bonus points for pickup from and drop-off to our hotel in Jackson. Prior to the tour day, BrushBuck Wildlife Tours called me to confirm my reservation details and answer any questions I had around logistics of the day. Since it was the middle of the winter, we were in a heated van. Our tour guide from today was Ted, and he was awesome. He was friendly, personable, and highly knowledgeable of the flora and fauna of the area. He impressed me by the facts he knew, and he didn't not have an answer for all our questions. He also had a good eye and spotted wildlife off in the distance, and he would genuinely be as excited as we were seeing the animals. We saw coyotes, a wolf, elk, bison, moose, and bighorn sheep. Ted had a magnifying scope that connected to his phone, so he took these amazing closeups of the animals for us and sent the pictures within 24 hours after the tour. I would highly recommend this tour, which was like a fun scavenger hunt in Grand Teton. read more

So much fun! These safari tours are such a great way to get to know national parks. It gives you an opportunity to spot a variety of wildlife while enjoying the views of the surrounding landscape. Plus I love anything that has to do with nature and wildlife. I booked a four-hour morning tour with BrushBuck during my stay here at Grand Teton National Park. We got to ride around in an open-air vehicle while our guide shared loads information about the park. BrushBuck provides drinks, snacks, a blanket and binoculars on these tours. I have been on an African safari and this tour brought back some fun memories of that trip. We saw pronghorn antelope, elk, moose and a bear. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and even added a little humor. The backdrop of the Teton Range made it such a memorable morning. If you are visiting the Tetons for the first time, I highly recommend checking out one of these safari tours and get more up close and personal with the park. read more

Spend almost 13 hours with Kyle while we did the Yellowstone lower loop tour. The van was in perfect condition and big. I sat in the front passenger seat and we had 4 other people. 2 couples. Everyone was friendly and excited to start the day of touring the Teton and Yellowstone parks. Kyle made the trip! He knew everything from Owls heads to the geyser's bacteria. He must be a genius because how someone could know and retain so much info is beyond me. We saw moose, a grizzle, some type of giraffe relative deer creature, all sorts of birds and elk and just a ton of wild life. We got an amazing education on geysers and saw some huge geysers erupt. The tour was comfortable, we stopped for coffee and gifts and lots of bathroom breaks when needed. We had a great picnic lunch at a cute spot. I could not have asked for a better tour and tour guide. read more

OUTSTANDING tour. We booked a private wildlife tour with BrushBuck. Our guide, Pat, was very knowledgeable and professional- And knew where to go to find the animals! My daughter is OBSESSED with wolves, and we told the guide that that was our #1 priority. He informed us that, with only 132 wolves on 2.2 million acres, and it also being a little later in the day, it might be tough but he'd do his best. Not only did we see a wolf- we saw two of them- and they were actively hunting a nursery herd of bison. It is one of the most incredible things I have ever gotten to see- and something that will be stuck in our daughters memory for the rest of her life. We also saw a Grizzly bear, several black bears, a TON of bison, pronghorns, elk, deer- Just about everything that could be seen. It was well worth it, had we been on our own I doubt that we'd have seen 1/2 of what we saw, and we certainly wouldn't have seen wolves. The tour itself was in an almost brand new, and very comfortable, Tahoe. The provided meal was just sandwiches and fruit, but it was more than adequate. They also provide drinks and snacks for the trip, and you are also welcome to bring your own. This tour wasn't inexpensive, but it was worth every penny! read more

Steve was our tour guide. He's fantastic with his enthusiasm, knowledge and great personality. There were 6 on our tour and he was exceptional with his ability to find wildlife and get the best pictures for us.

He gave some good recomindations for food in each stop. He is also great with kids! This is our second brush buck tour and I haven't been disappointed yet.

Steve was an exceptional guide. He knows where the wildlife is likely to be, shows great flexibility, and educated me and the group on a variety of issues related to the wildlife, terrain, and region. He was kind and pleasant. We were lucky enough to see a Grizzly, as well as moose, elk and coyote. 10-15% as the recommended tip is too low! read more

This is a must take tour for Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. Our guide, Conner, was great. Conner is very knowledgeable, friendly and is excellent at spotting wildlife. You can tell Conner thoroughly loves his chosen profession and takes it very seriously in order to make sure all of his guest have the best trip possible. My wife and I love this tour. We saw Moose, Elk, Bison, Eagles, Coyotes and Antelope on our tour, as well as all of the normal sight you would expect to see on a Grand Teton and Yellowstone tour. It was great leaving the driving to Conner and being able to sit back, look around and enjoy the experience. I highly recommend BrushBuck tours and Conner as your guide! read more

As a part of our package we went on the sunrise wildlife tour of Grand Teton park. Even though it was on an open air jeep/truck and was freezing, there was no shortage of blankets to keep you cozy. Our guides were determined to show us as much as possible. They even went the extra mile and found us a mama bear and her two cubs. The park itself is gorgeous, as are the outlying areas. They gave us a good amount of history as well. Snacks and water were plentiful. The 4 hour tour went by fast. Even though it was early, I think we were able to see some amazing things that I'm not sure we'd see otherwise. The tour guides were fantastic and you could feel the passion they have for the park. read more

Such a great experience. Our guide named Phil was amazing. He was like a walking encyclopedia. We traveled (party of five)with my husband and our three kids: ages 12, 10, 7. My 10 year old boy asked all the questions possible and Phil always had an answer. He was super cool and sweet with the kids. Like I said he was very knowledgeable and we had an amazing experience. Thank you Phil! read more

What an absolutely amazing experience we had! Our family of 6 which included Nana and Papa, mom and dad and 11 year old twins, spent a week in late December/early January on a Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks tour. We had an absolutely fantastic time from beginning to end. It all went so perfectly because our guide Dallin was the best! He was super easy to get along with, personable and knowledgeable. He took time to make life fun for our kids even getting us sledding innertubes and finding us areas for our kids to escape the van and get some sledding in. He found the things for families to do and knew just what would make everyone happy. Including a trip to the Jackalope Hot spot. Heehee. He knew we had a vegetarian with us and made sure lunch stops had food for everyone. We had fabulous experience seeing wildlife and learned a lot about the history and geology of the area. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and I'm taking away some fantastic memories for life! Some highlights include seeing frost covered moose, hiking to the petroglyphs alongside a small band of bighorn sheep, a snow coach through Yellowstone to see Beehive and Old Faithful geysers erupt, watching an eagle eat a dead beaver, and of course the absolutely breathtaking Grand Tetons and the mud pots and geysers and springs of Yellowstone. Shout-out to the office team - they are great communicators and worked with us to make sure every question was answered promptly. They were awesome! I would absolutely book with Brushbuck again. They are professional and gave us the trip of a lifetime. read more

I did the 7-day Kenya and Tanzania tour. It was amazing -we saw 30 lions in less than 24 hours! One thing that distinguishes Brushbuck is the highly trained American guide in addition to the local guide. Thanks to Adam for spotting amazing wildlife and his in-depth knowledge of African animals. And thanks to Andrew for his remarkable photos and his fun facts about animal private parts. The lodges were great, ranging from luxurious lodges to tents from which you could hear the elephants and hyenas call at night. Overall, a great trip! read more

Excellent tour. Comfortable van. Our guide, Phil, was extremely knowledgeable and answered every single question he was asked. And there were a lot of questions. We saw several animals, including bison,, moose, Whitetail deer, horses, and mule deer. Phil had a high-powered camera attached to his cell phone and was able to take pictures that he shared with us after the tour. Reasonable price. Beautiful scenery. Highly recommended. read more

I booked a wildlife tour through The Tetons and Yellowstone with Brushbuck a couple years ago. It was incredible and because I enjoyed it so much I recently went to Alaska with them. They make traveling so easy! I tend to take solo trips to places I've never been so it really helps for someone else to handle the travel when I get there, accommodations, excursions and knowing the best places to eat. And on top of that, my guides have been super knowledgeable and accommodating. I can't say enough good things about Brushbuck Wildlife Tours. Give them a call and see what they have to offer. They're definitely a 10/10. read more

Kevin out your guide was fantastic. He picked us up at our condo outside of town. Within minutes we were already seeing moose. He was so knowledgeable of the area, wildlife, and so much history. The van was nice and he had plenty of snacks and drinks. He provided binoculars and hand warmers which was great perk. We were able to see elk, bison, coyotes, plenty of moose and take some of the best pictures all of our trip. He snags all the photos and sends them over to you. read more

Kirsten is the most knowledgeable, professional, and personable guide I've ever had. Her spotting scope is super and gives us really amazing close-up views of the wildlife. Kristen is able to record short videos of the animals in action and we can view them later. read more

12/16/2020 - Winter Wonderland 8hr tour with Sarah. Amazing!! So much wildlife sightings. Sarah picked us up at 730am for our Grand Teton/Natural Elk Refuge tour. Sarah is a retired school teacher from Michigan and because of her love for teaching, history and wildlife, she starting working at Brushback. The whole day was planned out just perfect. We spent the early morning the first few hours locating wildlife in Grand Teton. We saw so much including: Osprey nest, Trumpeter swans, Ravens, Birds, Mule deers, 17 Mooses, 18 bisons, Coyote, Ducks, Swans 1 Bald eagle, 2 dozen Big horn sheeps!! Sarah had binoculars for my husband and I but my favorite was her scope!! Her scope can capture so much wildlife up closely and clearly. We took some photos from the scope (see attached). We had an early lunch at Palate restaurant inside the Wildlife museum (amazing see my other review). The second half of the day was our sleigh ride through the Natural Elk Refuge where we got to see a bunch of elks. Not enough snow or elks but we got up close and was able to get great photos. Our last part of the tour was going to look for Bighorn sheep's and we saw a few dozens. Sarah took us through many sights including: Kelly warm spring, Black tail butte, Mormon cabins, Cunningham cabin and Snake river overlook. She told us about the Oxbows along the snake river, geology of the mountains, earthquakes and shared many stories of the early settlers in Jackson including the ranchers, Indians, etc. She gave us some history books to read up on Jackson as well as a movie about National Parks. Overall such a fun day! Thank you Sarah and Brushbuck!! read more

This trip was from start to finish breathtaking. Our guide Kyle made sure we experienced all that the parks had to offer from the wildlife to the waterfalls.

We had an amazing trip with Anthony! He knew local knowledge about where animals might be specifically for the day we were out, and we were able to see a grizzly because of it!

We just had the most amazing tour with Amanda. She was so patient with our four kids (ages 5, 9, and 11). We saw so much wildlife including grizzly bears, a bald eagle, tons of bison, elk, moose and prong horn. She was so full of interesting information, both for the adults and the kids.

My girlfriend booked the tour with BrushBuck Wildlife Tours for us on our trip around Yellowstone. We had Kelsey as our guide and she was amazing! I've never had a tour guide like Kelsey. She is informative, entertaining, and knows her way around Grand Teton National Park. We booked for a group tour, but because it was on the off season, we were the only tourists on board so it made the tour more personal. We told Kelsey we were more interested in wildlife so she did her best to be on the lookout for us to spot. We ended up seeing a fox, coyote, moose, elk, a juvenile bald eagle, and a bighorn sheep. We enjoyed the tour and would recommend BrushBuck Wildlife Tours to anyone that's planning on visiting Grand Teton. Thank you Kelsey and team for making our vacation worth remembering. read more

We did the half day tour with driver Marcus and guide Patrick. What a wonderful experience! They made an awesome team with Marcus at the wheel and setting up the scope when we stopped. He was also excellent at spotting wildlife. Patrick's knowledge is unmatched. And believe me- my ten year old asked A MILLION questions. Patrick knew not only everything about the wildlife, ecology, botany and conservation status/ challenges faced by each animal/ ecosystem, but could also answer any questions you might have about the area, cultures, native Americans, etc. we saw black bear, moose, bald eagle, herons, bison, pronghorn, elk, so many things. This tour was worth every penny and one of our highlights. read more

We did the 10-12 hour tour of Yellowstone & Old Faithful & saw almost everything we hoped for. This tour possibly saved my marriage because if my husband had tried to navigate the southern loop of Yellowstone & Grand Teton Parks he would have been super stressed, not enjoyed the journey and probably said something to get him in trouble. As it turns out, we both had a GREAT time. Kevin was a great, knowledgeable & entertaining tour guide. Your lucky if you get him! read more

Can't say enough good things about the people working at BrushBuck Wildlife Tours. I called on a weekend, before booking and talked to a knowledgeable, friendly woman who gave me tips on where to stay in Yellowstone, what animals we were likely to see at Grand Teton National Park and even told me about the local weather and Covid restrictions. She put no pressure on me to book right away, instead she encouraged me to do some research. The following week, I booked an afternoon wildlife tour of the Grand Teton National Park. During the off-season, mid-November, when we booked, there aren't a lot of tourists in Wyoming. My wife and I had our tour guide, Clint, all to ourselves. He picked us up at 1 PM at our hotel, Mountain Modern Motel, in Jackson Hole. The suburban he picked us up in had an assortment of chips and two pairs of binoculars. Clint told us he was from Texas, which made sense since he was super friendly. We started the afternoon seeing some Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. Clint showed us two ewes on a mountain ridge with his spotting scope and then we drove to a meadow and saw a two year old ram with a large groups of ewes. We snapped a few photos of these and then Clint whisked us away to Jackson Lake. This lake was placid and we were able to take some amazing reflection photos of the Teton Mountains. See attached photo. We saw a beaver fighting with a goose and some other waterfowl swimming in an oxbow close to the lake. Next he took us to see some bison and moose. The bison are not truly wild, they escaped from a ranch neighboring the National Park years ago and were allowed to stay. I was able to snap some gorgeous pictures of the bison in the snow with the Tetons in the background. We finished the day with three truly spectacular herds of moose. They are huge, magnificent animals and they looked epic in the snow. We waited patiently for a great shot since they were feeding and Clint told us it is illegal to make noises to disturb them. Clint took some amazing pictures on my wife's cell phone through his spotting scope. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate the grizzly bear we were looking for, but Clint really tried. Clint not only showed us beautiful animals, he also suggested local restaurants in Jackson Hole and the National Wildlife Museum of Art, which we visited the next day and I highly recommend. If you ever plan a visit to Grand Teton or Yellowstone National Parks book a tour with BrushBuck. They have great guides and a very fair price compared to other guide services. Just don't forget to tip your guides! read more

Everything was great, our tour guide, Haley, was super informative and fun to be around throughout our 8 hour excursion. Haley had a wealth of knowledge and made the tour incredibly engaging. My only complaint is that the lunch that was served was not anything of sustenance. We were served a salad and a small bowl of chili. Given we had to wake up early and would be gone for 8 hours of the day on the tour, it would've been better to at least have a sandwich but other than that, everything was great and I would highly recommend the tour to anyone visiting Jackson Hole. The 4 stars is only because of the lunch, the experience overall was beyond 5 stars. read more

Fabulous photo safari day in Teton National Park and the Elk Reserve. Our guide, Haley, was extremely knowledgeable and a great driver. She knew where to seek out the animals.

The good service started when I booked my tour. The woman on the phone was really nice and helpful. I did the full day Yellowstone tour. We had a 6:10 pickup which seemed too early since it was still dark when we were driving on the road where bears are often spotted this time of year. I thought about just renting a car and driving on my own, but I would've missed out on a lot. Our guide was good at spotting the animals. We saw a coyote, prong horn, a moose, elk, bison, and the highlight for me was a mama bear with 3 babies. Our guide had only been in town since May, but she was really knowledgeable. read more

This was our second Christmas in Jackson Hole, and we booked our tours MONTHS ago, and we were not disappointed! We took the full-day Petroglyph tour with NEIL, and he was absolutely the best tour guide ever. His in-depth knowledge of each species of animal was incredible. But it was the true joy on his face every time we discovered a new animal in our midst. He does these tours daily, so seeing him so excited over each sighting only added to our experience. Petroglyphs were incredible, and Neil helped me hike up to a point where I could see them up close and personal. This was no easy task, but he did it with a smile. If you are touring anywhere in Jackson, Brushbuck is your company. They keep you informed by phone and text about any updates and scheduling pick-ups. I doubt you will find a better company to work with, and Neil is truly the best of the best. We took the 1/2 day Grand Teton Four-Hour Dusk Tour, and the weather was rainy and sleeting. Our tour guide KYLE was one of the kindest people, going out of his way to make sure we saw OTTERS!!! CANADA GEESE, RAMS, MOOSE SO MANY!! He even let us stay out a little longer to get some amazing shots at the Elk Refuge. Wonderful employees! read more
