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.

5.00Nate was a FANTASTIC tour guide for our boat ride on The Great Salt Lake! He is knowledgeable, personable, accommodating to all of the guests, has a fun, quick-witted sense of humor, and is ADORABLE. The bugs along the shoreline did not bother us at all and the water was warm and inviting. It was fun to float in the water; we felt completely safe and at ease with Nate as our guide.

5.00Captain Kurt was excellent. Very knowledge. Will definitely recommend this tour. There's only 2 places in the world where you can float in the water even if you don't know how to swim. The Death Sea and Great Salt Lake.
