Snake River Float Trips, Yellowstone Wildlife Tours, and Snake River Fishing Trips

We are a local family owned business offering a variety of tours and activities including Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park wildlife tours, scenic floats on the Snake River in Jackson Wyoming as well as guided spin cast and fly-fishing trips in the Greater Yellowstone area.

Teton Floats offers the most adventurous Snake River Rafting, Yellowstone Fishing Trips, and Family Tours throughout the Yellowstone & Grand Teton Regions. Teton Floats is based out of Jackson Hole, Wyoming and we offer tours that begin in Jackson and West Yellowstone.

Guided Grand Teton Wildlife Tours

Teton Floats offers a guided half-day wildlife tour through Grand Teton National Park, led by guides operating as an authorized permittee of the National Park Service. Morning and afternoon departures run from Jackson or Teton Village, with hotel pickup, use of binoculars and a spotting scope, and locally made granola bars and water included.

Guests can expect frequent stops for wildlife viewing and photography as the route winds through the park in search of elk, moose, pronghorn, bison, bighorn sheep, mule deer, eagles, and both grizzly and black bear, with wolves also possible depending on the season. Both public trips and private bookings are available, and each tour is shaped by real-time wildlife activity, weather, and road conditions rather than a fixed script, giving every group a slightly different experience of the park.

Guided Yellowstone Wildlife Tours

For travelers who want to go beyond the Tetons, Teton Floats runs full-day and two-day guided tours into Yellowstone National Park, departing Jackson and passing through Grand Teton en route. The full-day Lower Loop tour builds its itinerary around Yellowstone’s geothermal highlights, including a timed stop at Old Faithful, time to explore Midway and Lower Geyser Basins, and a visit to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, where the Upper and Lower Falls drop 109 and 308 feet.

Guests traveling the loop pass through Hayden Valley and along Yellowstone Lake, prime terrain for spotting bison, grizzly and black bears, wolves, moose, elk, pronghorn, and coyotes, with a professional guide narrating the park’s geology and natural history along the way. For those wanting to see both halves of the park, the two-day Upper and Lower Loop tour extends the itinerary to cover more ground and more wildlife habitat than the single-day option allows.

Snake River Float Trips

Teton Floats runs its scenic float trips on the South Park stretch of the Snake River, a 13-mile braided section that sits about 15 minutes from Jackson and Teton Village and roughly 6 miles south of Grand Teton National Park. Though the float passes through some private land, up to 90 percent of the corridor is protected by conservation easements and land trusts within the Wild and Scenic Snake River Watershed, preserving one of the richest riparian habitats in the valley for wildlife and birdlife viewing along the banks.

Guests can choose a scenic float or an afternoon lunch float, both accommodating up to 12 adults, making the trip well suited to families and larger groups looking for an easygoing way to take in the Teton Range from the water without the demands of a fishing or whitewater trip.

Snake River Fishing Trips

Fishing trips on the Snake River target the native Fine-Spotted Snake River Cutthroat trout, a species known for rising readily to dry flies and striking streamers and spin-cast lures alike, making the river a good fit for anglers of every skill level. Teton Floats runs these trips in drift boats equipped with front and back casting stations, with a guide positioned amidships to maneuver the boat while up to two or three anglers fish from a stand or seated position.

The full-day float covers about 13 miles from Wilson Landing to Von Gontard’s Landing and includes a professional guide, all fishing equipment, and a streamside picnic lunch, while the half-day float offers a shorter version of the same water for anglers with less time. All trips are catch-and-release, and guides provide rods, reels, flies, and casting instruction, though guests need a valid Wyoming fishing license, available through the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, before heading out.

 Verified Luke was amazing for our Teton tour
Luke Boyette was a great tour master, he was very knowledgeable on the Teton area. We got to enjoy seeing all the animals along with getting clear up close pictures thanks to Luke’s spotting scope and camera attachment. All the sights were amazing and well worth the cost of the tour.

 Verified Animal sightings, beautiful scenery, and great guiding!
I went on the half-day Grand Teton Tour with my family - my wife and our two kids (8 and 9) - in early January 2026. The tour was fantastic, and our guide, Luke, was even better. We had a great morning in the park; spotted elk, bison, moose, coyotes, mountain sheep, and a bald eagle; and learned a lot about the park, wildlife, and history and politics of Jackson and the area.Luke was really fantastic. He shared interesting information in the right dosage, and made it accessible and engaging. He was great with my kids, and answered their (sometimes silly) questions like a pro. Luke also had a high-powered scope which we used for spotting in the park (in addition to the binoculars we were given), and shared photos and videos from our tour with us at the end.All in all, a really great experience. Highly recommend!

 Verified Fantastic, Beautiful and Educational Winter Tour
Was fortunate enough to have Luke as our guide for the morning. He took our party of 9 on a wonderfully paced, beautiful tour of the Tetons. Luke knew more than we possible could’ve hoped for in a tour guide. Comfortable, friendly, and educational! Time and money well spent.

 Verified Encyclopedia Joe!
Peanut butter and jelly. Grilled cheese and tomato soup. The Tetons and Encyclopedia Joe.The majesty of the Teton Range and the splendor of Wyoming’s wildlife speak for themselves (those will never change). What did change was the depth of the experience, thanks to our guide, Joe. Every detail came alive through his storytelling: how pronghorns digest sagebrush, the kinship between magpies and blue jays, how glaciers carved the land, the lore of red dogs and “water donkeys,” and even an unexpected nod to Django Unchained (a few times 😄).Joe transformed a nature tour into a true adventure. Our 12- and 9-year-old were completely captivated, hanging on to every word, while my wife and I found ourselves peppering him with questions about the landscape, skiing, and even where to eat. Joe always had the answer!Let’s not forget the promised wildlife: bison, elk, moose, big horn sheep, magpies, goldfish!!!!If you come to Jackson, ask for Joe. We certainly will. And we will be back this summer.
