Public Scenic Float

Private Scenic Float
Private Grand Teton Scenic Float

The Experience
Unhurried, Immersive, and Remarkably Scenic
Scenic floating offers a different rhythm from a day on the road. The raft moves quietly through cottonwood corridors and open channels while the Teton Range rises above the river. Guides handle the navigation and bring the landscape to life, leaving you free to watch, listen, and photograph the park as it unfolds.
- Knowledgeable interpretive guide
- Personal flotation device and rain poncho provided
- Shuttle from the Moose meeting point to the launch
- Potential sightings of eagles, osprey, moose, elk, beaver, otters, and other wildlife

Full-Day Combination
Grand Teton Wildlife Safari & Scenic Float
