2 Hour Salt Lake Boat Tour with Swimming on the Lake

Tasha_J, Aug 2026

A must do in Salt Lake City

We had a great time- floating in the lake was such a cool experience. It was great seeing a guy on our tour who couldn’t swim and was scared to get in the lake - get in without a life jacket and then was the last one out of the water. Captain Becky was super cool and fun. Felt like we were put on the lake with a friend.

Wildlife and awesome sunset

Nicole was AWESOME! She made the ride so fun and engaging. Scenery was beautiful. Even though it started raining and the wind was crazy, it was well worth the experience. And, as we were leaving skies cleared and we were able to see the most beautiful sunset. Nicole pulled over so we could take our pics. This excursion is highly recommended.

Salt Lake City Trolley Tour with Characters & Stories

dkt310, Jul 2026

A hit for our 15 year old granddaughter!

We loved this tour! We saw everything on my list to visit on this tour. The entertainment was great! Loved to get to go into the state capitol. The two entertainers were great! When I asked our 15 year old granddaughter what her favorite part (besides swimming at the hotels) of our week long - 6 different cities/4 different states was, she thought and then said it was a tie between this tour and a small theme park in Oregon. I would say … that’s a huge win for you guys! And the on trolley treats were a bonus!

Great Salt Lake Wildlife Experience

george_c, Jul 2026

Beautiful, adventure and education all in one night

I was looking for a guided tour that would allow me to experience the beauty of Northern Utah's mountains while staying in Salt Lake City, and this was exactly what I was hoping to find. It was the perfect way to spend a few hours in the evening exploring nature, learning about the area's natural history, and getting up close to some truly beautiful wildlife. The entire experience was thoughtfully planned and well organized. Sarah was outstanding from start to finish. Her communication before the tour was excellent, and throughout the experience she was kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. She made everyone feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. The vehicle was spacious and comfortable, and it was stocked with thoughtful amenities including water, snacks, binoculars, hats, bug spray, and face nets. Every detail seemed to be considered. The tour concluded with an adventurous sunset hike to a scenic overlook above the Great Salt Lake, providing a memorable ending to an already fantastic experience. If you're visiting the Salt Lake City area and want to experience Utah's natural beauty with a knowledgeable guide, this tour is absolutely worth your time.

Outstanding tour! Thank you, TODD!

On our first visit to Salt Lake City, TODD brought the city to life. We saw all of the main sites in an air-conditioned, comfortable bus. TODD was a font of information and provided interesting commentary. He patiently and politely answered all questions. The tour stopped at a few primary sites. We enjoyed this 2.5 hour tour! A tour is only as good as the guide. THANK YOU, TODD.
