What To Expect
We will head out on our motorized pontoon boat and get some great views of the lake. We will also hear some entertaining stories and history of this world unique area along with a salty joke or two! We will have two stops in the lake where you will get to float in the lake a see how buoyant you are in the saltiest body of water in the western hemisphere. We will have spa pillows so you can lay back and feel total weightlessness or you can swim around. We will have bottled water and light snacks on board to keep hydrated along with buckets of fresh water to wash the salt off of your hands and face. Full showers are located at the marina in case you want to shower after the tour. There can be bugs in the air right when we leave the marina so we will provide you with a bee-keeper style hat to keep them away from your face. Once out on the lake, the bugs are gone. Bring a swimsuit, towel and some sunblock! We also don’t recommend shaving any body part before the tour to avoid stinging with the salt water.

5.00If you visit the Salt Lake area, this is an absolutely wonderful experience! Highly recommend. We enjoyed a beautiful two hour tour with our knowledgeable and charming host, Tyler, who made a few stops for us to swim/float and experience the unique beauty and history of this fascinating lake. It was definitely worth the ticket price and if we're back in the area, we look forward to doing it again. Thanks Tyler!

5.00This is the only company licensed to go out on the lake which means our boat of 7, including our incredible guide Tyler, were the only ones floating in the great salt lake, amazing. Tyler was very informative and gave great instructions and was so warm and pleasant, I would tour with him and this company again. Highly recommend!

Great Experience

5.00The lake doesn't get much boat traffic due to its lack of fish, which makes for a serene and peaceful excursion. Being able to swim/float in the extra-salty water is truly an added bonus and makes this activity well worth it. Would recommend avoiding dunking your head to avoid salt water in your eyes/up your nose!
Don't miss experience

5.00Fantastic experience. We enjoyed the lake from an immersive perspective (borrowed from our guide's humor trove). We learned some natural history, some ecology, lake economics, and the importance of the snow dance. mainly, We enjoyed a re!axing.time with our family and a float on the lake. Wonderful!
