FAQ's : About Us

Jackson Hole EcoTour Adventures has been guiding Grand Teton and Yellowstone wildlife tours since 2008. In 2014 we expanded into winter experiences, including snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in Grand Teton National Park.

EcoTour Adventures was founded by Taylor Phillips to create deeper, more educational experiences in Grand Teton and Yellowstone. The goal was simple: connect guests to wildlife, landscapes, and natural history while operating a conservation-minded business that gives back to the community.

Most guests only have a short time in the parks. Our philosophy is to make every moment count. We focus on meaningful wildlife encounters, natural history interpretation, and access to places and perspectives guests wouldn’t find on their own.

Our guides are professional naturalists and biologists with advanced degrees, field certifications, and decades of combined experience in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Many hold graduate-level science degrees and continue their education through research, lectures, and conservation work.

Just as important, they’re excellent communicators, great with families, photographers, and curious travelers alike. You’ll tour with someone who is focused on your safety, willing to go the extra mile, fun to be around, and truly loves sharing this landscape with others.

We specialize in small-group wildlife tours led by highly credentialed guides in custom safari-style vehicles with luxury window-view seating and high-quality optics. Since 2008, we’ve built our reputation on deep knowledge, thoughtful interpretation, and genuine care for this place.

EcoTour Adventures has been voted Best Wildlife Outfitter in Jackson Hole every year since 2020. We’re recognized by TripAdvisor as one of the Top 10 Greatest Wildlife Tours across the globe and a proud Business Member of 1% for the Planet. EcoTours is also thrilled to be the first North American Field Partner for Swarovski Optik. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg!

We also reinvest in what matters. A portion of every tour supports Wyoming conservation and wildlife research as well as needs specific to our community. We provide year-round employment, health insurance, and continued education for our guides, something rare in this industry.

When you tour with us, you’re choosing experience, integrity, and people who truly know the parks.

We’d love to show you the region we’re proud to call home.
