5.00Nice half day tour. Ann was great! Highly recommended. Saw several bison and other fauna. Once the lake returns to higher levels the tour would be even better.

5.00Tour was amazing! The guide was very knowledgeable about different things in Salt Lake City as well as the Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island. We were lucky to see Bison, Antelope and the burrowing Owls. The van was very comfortable and it is a good idea to be prepared with: Snacks, suntan lotion, bug spray, and a hat. Wearing layers is good as it’s cooler in the morning and the afternoon sun can be tough. Definitely wear good sturdy sneakers especially if you are planning to hike the Buffalo Point portion of the trip. Its challenging however there are spots where you can stop if you don’t feel comfortable hiking the entire thing. Well worth the money and I can’t say enough about the guide, the content of the tour and the entire experience.
It was great to learn...

5.00It was great to learn about the history, challenges & uses of lake. Chris was a great narrator & guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, considerate and funny. Antelope island also had a very interesting history. We stopped to take pictures of bison, safely. Later we stopped again to view what appeared to be 2 large herds. Time went by quickly. Glad we took the tour.
We thoroughly enjoyed...

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. You can’t control when and where you’ll see wildlife but we were pleased with what we saw. Travis was our tour guide and was so knowledgeable about the wildlife and history of Salt Lake. Couldn’t have asked for anyone better.
A great tour

5.00We did the Sunset tour and it was a great experience. Our guide McKenna picked us on time from our hotel in a very comfortable sprinter vehicle and we made the drive to Antelope Island and Great Salt Lake. Along the way she told us about some of the points of interest. Once on the island, she took us to various spots which included places to see bison and pronghorns as well as great views from all different areas which included the ranch. We did a nice hike to a great vantage point and it ended with a great place to see the sunset. It was a very interesting and fun tour. McKenna was very knowledgeable and a fun person to be around for a few hours. We very much enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it.
Excellent Sunset tour of the Island and Great Salt Lake

5.00We did a sunset tour, and because other people cancelled we ended up with a private tour just the two of us. McKenna was an awesome guide. She picked us up on time from our hotel and drove us out to various spots on Antelope Island. We saw many Bison and Pronghorns, toured the ranch, went for a short hike up to a great vantage point to see the Great Salt Lake and surrounding areas, and then to a beautiful spot for the sunset. McKenna shared many interesting facts about the island and the area, and knows her stuff. She was a fun and personable person, and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour with her.
It’s a highly recommended...
