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.

    Colton was a funny tour guide. It was a little shorter than expected. But I guess it was due to the wind and how shallow the lake has become Thanks!!!

    Offers the opportunity to get out away from the bugs and smell around the shoreline. You can float in the lake and enjoy being in water where you can’t sink.

    The captain was very knowledgeable about the lake and an optomistic advocate for the lake's future. The lake is too big to explore much but being out in the lake is better than at the shore (no smell and no flies!).
