5.00Dima is an excellent tour guide. So knowledgeable and so accommodating. He considered all of our needs ahead of time with water and snacks on hand, raincoats to protect us from the fast changing weather and he was a very attentive photographer! I had such a wonderful day and learned lots from Dima, who is so passionate about what he does. There are many stops on this tour to see the island and the surrounding areas at their best. Dima knew all the best spots for views and guaranteed we would see bison, which we did as well as coyotes and even a snake! We did a short hike up to the top of Buffalo Point which was fairly steep but absolutely worth it for the views at the top and Dima was on hand to help if we struggled with the terrain. I would absolutely recommend this tour! Dima has so many exciting ideas for other tours and experiences, this family-run business is definitely one to watch!

5.00This was an overall Incredible experience with breathtaking views! I am so glad I decided to book this trip with Dymitri! I had read it was a new business and a family owned business at that! I too am an Independent business owner and supporting local will always be of high importance. His energy, excitement and wealth if knowledge of Utah and Antelope Island was entertaining and impressive! Additionally, he was on time, a wonderful photographer for the group, generous with snacks and water, and provided a comfortable and clean transportation. You certainly won't be disappointed. Antelope Island was beautiful!
This is a new tour...

5.00This is a new tour company, hence the limited reviews, but you won’t regret taking it. Dima, the tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable about SLC, the history of Utah, and Antelope Island. He made the tour as customizable as possible based on the number of people in our group and everyone’s wishes and also made sure we were able to catch a very lovely sunset with impressive views from Buffalo Point. You will absolutely see bison, too! And you will be supporting a family-run small business. Win, win!
