Antelope Island Tour

Megan was great! She did a great job telling us about the different features we saw and about the history of the Great Salt Lake. She spotted wildlife and pulled over on the side of the road so we could take time to see and take pictures. The trip was very enjoyable.

Incredible Wildlife Experience with an Exceptional Guide!

This trip to Antelope Island was an absolutely amazing experience! The island itself is stunning, and we also enjoyed the visit to the historical ranch. The wildlife viewing was phenomenal—we were lucky enough to see bison, antelope, owls, and several mule deer. Our guide, Dima, was fantastic. He has an impressive depth of knowledge about Utah, Salt Lake City, the local history and natural environment, and he went out of his way to make sure we maximized every single wildlife encounter. A major highlight was spotting a mule deer with a beautiful sunflower caught right on its antlers! Dima truly went above and beyond for our group. Even after we had already spent more time on the island than the scheduled tour allowed, we spotted a bison hanging out by the Antelope Island sign, Dima didn't hesitate to pull the van over so we could get a close look and capture some wonderful photos. I highly recommend this experience to anyone and will definitely be booking another tour with Dima in the future!

He made the experience especially enjoyable and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and well taken care of. What impressed us most was how considerate he was at the end of the tour. He went out of his way to make sure we were safely returned to our hotel, which we truly appreciated. That extra kindness and personal attention meant a lot to us. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Salt Lake City.

Awesome trip

David, our tour guide was amazing. He knew so much history, geology, and information about the culture in Utah and beyond. He knows so much and we’re so thankful for his knowledge. We enjoyed every part of the trip and yes, there is sitting in the van, but you get only spectacular views and possibly one of the best sunsets I’ve ever seen in my life on the way back to our hotel. Highly recommend this tour. Don’t forget to bring snacks. He also takes great pictures!

Christy_B, Jul 2026

Nice easy going playful illusions.

It was fun and amusing. There are many suggested photo opportunities so it makes it fun, look at your pictures as you take them they may not appear as you hope. We took our 13 year old, and we had a good time. But it should be noted on Sunday there is not easy public restroom access in the immediate area, and the museum has theirs in the middle of the exhibit so a ticket us needed. So it may be advisable to find somewhere beforehand for restroom needs.
