Description

This four-day private tour departs and returns to Bozeman, Montana, and is designed around a relaxed, non-strenuous pace — no rafting, horseback riding, or hiking is included at any point. The journey opens with a full traverse of Yellowstone's wildlife corridors and canyon country before continuing south to Jackson Hole for three nights. The middle two days remain entirely within Grand Teton National Park and Jackson Hole: the first at an easy scenic pace, taking in Antelope Flats, Schwabacher's Landing, and Oxbow Bend; the second a bespoke leisure day built around a morning Jenny Lake cruise, a tram ride at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, an afternoon soak at Astoria Hot Springs, and an evening of dinner and stargazing at Snow King Mountain. The final day returns north through Yellowstone's geyser country before a scenic drive home to Bozeman — giving guests two complete passes through Yellowstone from opposite directions, bookending two full days in the Tetons.

Why take this tour?

This tour is built for travelers who want the full Yellowstone and Grand Teton experience without a strenuous pace — there is no hiking, rafting, or horseback riding anywhere on the itinerary.

The extra day in Jackson Hole allows for a true leisure day, mixing a glassy-water morning cruise, a high-alpine tram ride, a relaxed hot springs soak, and an evening of fine dining and stargazing, all without backtracking.

As with the three-day version, guests get two complete passes through Yellowstone from opposite directions, with a private guide managing every reservation and logistic along the way.
