5.00I was actually by myself on this tour so I had a private tour. It was absolutely amazing. I got to see a lot of wildlife, from bald eagles, bison, herons, pronghorn and other birds. Sonsari was amazing as a tour guide. Really informative and trying to enaure I see as much wildlife as possible. I would definitely reccomend it to family and friends the tour.

5.00Interesting tour! We saw a lot of bison and a great horned owl. We enjoyed learning about the island, watching the sunset, and taking photos of the great views from the island. Travis was friendly with a wealth of information and very accommodating!

4.004/5 stars: Internet research promised floating bliss and roaming bison. Reality delivered a ghost town, sand fly swarms, desert heat, quicksand panic, and awkward bison—stars are for the good story I had to tell later.
Fun adventure!

5.00Beautiful sunny day for a lovely trip out to Antelope Island with Sonsari as our guide. She was very knowledgeable and made the cold, windy day a good one nonetheless. She was also very determined to find us the pronghorn. She knew exactly where they were hiding.
Great way to spend half a day

5.00This was a great trip- we only had one chance to get out and see the natural beauty around SLC during our visit and I’m glad we chose this tour. Our guide Blake was knowledgeable not just about the city but about the wild life, plants and geology of the region. He was able to pick out animals for photo opportunities and made sure we saw the best views in the park. The tour was lovely and a great way to squeeze in a lot of nature in half a day. 100% recommend!
Lovely tour!
