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.

    First we didn’t go at the arranged time, since they wanted to get more customers to join the trip. Fair enough if we still sailed for 45 min. So 2 more joined. We went to the boat… We didn’t sail much and only sailed for like 20 (10 minutes out and 10 back) minutes out of 35 minuts - we didn’t even get 45 min. Even though Tim was very nice and told about shrimps. I would have rather sailed more. Closest picture was far from the island, I could have taken that from the harbor I think. We had expected a little more excitement of the trip for that price.

  • One of our favorite activities from our trip

    What a great tour. Go early in the morning when it is quieter and cooler. Great opportunity to see The Great Salt Lake. Colton S was so informative and fun. Great information about not only the lake but Salt Lake City. Definitely would recommend.

    Boat trip on the Great Salt Lake. It's not really a boat ride but rather an outing where the boat is turned off once its point is reached. Very good guide, very interesting. 10 people max, so no mass tourism. Very comfortable boat.
