Exclusive Excursions is happy be on The Great Salt Lake, which is the saltiest body of water in the Western Hemisphere. Come enjoy this experience by actually going out on the lake rather than just seeing it from the shore. We will do a short boat ride around the marina area, hear some stories, history and jokes about the lake, and even do a few demonstrations. And of course have time for a good picture or two.
Since it’s only 45 minutes and the lake is so big and wide, we just stay within a mile of the marina and this tour is not a high speed boat ride because the captain likes to give commentary the whole time. Some people complain that we don’t go fast or farther out in the lake so this is why.
Yes the great salt lake has bugs near the marina. They don’t bite but can swarm at times. We give you hats with nets to keep them out of your face so please take one so they don’t “bug” you. Give us a call if you want an update about the current bug situation since it always changes.

Great Salt Lake
We will head out on the lake on our motorized pontoon boat. We will get to see some great views of the lake and shoreline. We will hear some stories, history and even a joke or two about this world unique area. Since the lake is so big and wide, we just stay within a mile of the marina since all the islands are several miles away and the views really don’t change getting further in the middle of the lake. The boat goes slow so the captain can give commentary the whole time. If you are looking for a high speed boat tour that circumnavigates the lake, this is probably not the tour for you since it’s only 45 minutes long.

Fantastic view from the boat, but with too much sunshine and overload of bugs. The water level at the great salt lake is at the all-time low. Not a good time to visit and hopefully it shall recover in the future. We did a rain dance for it.

Colton was a great captain. Very interesting to see the lake. Sad to see the lake so low. Was not a secure phone line. My phone was compromised and had many phone scam calls when I got home. Just an FYI

It was a pleasant boat ride because of the day but it wasn't a 45-minute ride; more like 30 minutes. Channel work delayed our exit which cut into our time.
