Antelope Island Wildlife Expedition Great Salt Lake Adventure

Catherine_W, Nov 2026

Exceeded expectations!

We loved this tour- it exceeded our expectations! Our guide, Dima, went above and beyond to help us see pronghorns, bison, and porcupines! We felt so lucky to see herds of animals in their natural habitat. The views were other worldly! 10/10 - would definitely recommend! Dima even took pictures for us and gave us recommendations for other activities afterwards! Sometimes the van was bumpy, the roads winding, and the final hike was quite steep with loose rocks!

Fantastic Tour

Fabulous tour of Salt Lake City. Primarily covers downtown, the university, and the spot where Brigham Young first viewed the Salt Lake area and decided this was where he wanted to settle. Got to see the Tabernacle where a noon concert was beginning. Could have stayed for the concert.

A Salt Lake City Highlights and Mormon Tabernacle Choir Experience

Our guide, Todd, was very informative about Salt Lake City and Utah as well as Mormon history. We really enjoyed getting an overview of SLC and with his information, we could revisit places to spend more time later on. The visit to the Mormon Tabernacle to hear the choir rehearse was fabulous. This is a great tour.

This was a very special experience to a beautiful and unique landscape.

The best wildlife viewing experience

We lucked out getting to see the salt lake during migration season as we got to see so many shore birds on the lake that were not usual habitants. We got to see bison up close and saw the most striking sunset. The guide was great at communicating with us before the trip and told us a lot of really cool facts about Salt Lake City and Antellope Island! Could not recommend this trip enough!

Anne and Martha were so...

Anne and Martha were so sweet, patient, and knowledgeable.

This is a great tour to learn more about one of Utah’s most magnificent and economically important natural wonders

Amazing experience!!

Amazing experience! Blake was absolutely fabulous!! We were so fortunate to have him for our tour guide! He went the extra mile to ensure we saw a huge variety of wildlife: pronghorn, coyote, bison (tons of bison), and a variety of birds! Blake went out of his way to answer all of our questions, teach us all about the island, take pictures for us, and just make it a great experience! We saw a magnificent sunset at Lady Finger Point. Lots of great information about the history of the area, including Salt Lake City. He offered excellent ideas for restaurants and other attractions in the city!! We would recommend this tour to any first timers to the area!

A fantastic time!

1. It is Dusty and can be Muddy 2. Dress comfortably and in something you wouldn’t mind getting dirty. 3. You’re going to have the best time! Honestly, DJ took us out and we had a blast. He was a great guide and it was wonderful getting to know him. We had so much fun on the trails. DJ even took us through some more challenging obstacles… He made it look easy, but it was fun getting stuck and maneuvering out of it. All in all, it’s a fantastic time and worth it!

Fun Birthday Date

Even though I thought this was on the expensive side, my 12 year old granddaughter and I had a great time. She wasn't too interested in all the pictures on the walls, but enjoyed the activities. She loved the vortex (went through 4 times!) and anything to do with mirrors. We both took tons of pictures and laughed at all our funny poses. It was a terrific place to take her on a birthday date!
