There is no other place in the western hemisphere where you can float in this much salt water! Plus you get a fun boat ride full of great information about the area! The shorelines of the lake are full of bugs so being in the boat keeps you away from them while you swim/float!

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.

We had a great trip! Floating in the salt is so cool! I’m so glad we booked the swimming trip. The kids loved it.

This tour was fabulous. The guide was funny and informative and very relaxed. He told us ahead amid time about bugs we would encounter and provided us with bug hats to protect us when needed. Once out on the water it was beautiful and comfortable ride in the boat. We especially enjoyed floating in the water. We have been to Dead Sea and floated there and liked this just as much. Highly recommend it to others.

Captain Tyler was fabulous. Full of information on the great Salt Lake. We swam in two different spots. Actually floated, rather than swam. Beautiful view of the islands from the lake. I would definitely recommend it for folks of any age. Also saw a very interesting film in the visitor center.
