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.
