Very knowledgeable and friendly, he loves to take pictures to capture the moments during the sunset or anything with an interesting back ground. Keeps snacks and waters on hand and has anything you may need during the trip. We saw plenty of bison and even some mule deer fighting.

Excellent tour with Dima, who is well prepared and very experienced in knowing the best spots in Antelope Island. We were very lucky with a large bison outing and Dima made sure to give us multiple opportunities and angles to observe the bison up close but safely. I also appreciate his extra effort at Fielding Garr Ranch to gather grass for a spontaneous feeding of the horses there haha. Tour duration was just nice, pick up was punctual, van was comfortable and he provided water and snacks. Thank you for a great trip!
Great tour!

Great tour to see amazing wildlife up close. Our guide Dima was amazing and knew so much fun facts and storys about the history and culture of Utah and its wildlife. We got to see a lot packed into the short day. The views were incredible and the sunset was top 5 in my life, and I’ve been to a lot of places all over the world.
