It was one of the best experiences I had! Such a gorgeous place with incredible energy. We could see bison and deer. And the hiking at sunset was a masterpiece. Also, I would like to extend a special thanks to our tour guide, Amalia, who was incredible! She has SO MUCH knowledge about the area and the history of Salt Lake City, and is also a great person to talk to!
Nothing there!

There just wasn’t much to the island itself. We did see a few bison but there wasn’t anything else to see. The guide was nice but you couldn’t walk to beach it was too far from parking lot
Perfect day!

Make time to find a parking garage, this sight does NOT tell you where to park. It would be super helpful if the offsite travel agent gave this advice

The tour itself was wonderful, and the guide was incredibly kind and accommodating. However, I was very disappointed with TripAdvisor’s handling of my booking. The ticket I received listed the tour start time as 4:30 pm, which turned out to be incorrect. It appears the time was based on the time zone of the person who created the ticket rather than the local time of 1:30 pm. As a result, I was an hour away visiting another town when the guide called to ask if I was joining. Thankfully, the guide waited for me to drive back, since I was the only participant. But because we started over an hour late, I missed out on the hike, the part of the tour I was most looking forward to. While the tour was still enjoyable, it was incomplete due to the time error. I hope TripAdvisor will improve its booking process to prevent this sort of mix-up. Unfortunately, this experience has made me hesitant to book tours through TripAdvisor in the future.
A fascinating experience

Blake was an amazing guide! Not only was he knowledgeable about Antelope Island but the Salt Lake City area. He was friendly, funny and attentive to all the attendees. But above all he was just as curious as we were. The island was breathtaking. We were lucky enough to attend on the day of the bison run! While we did not see any pronghorns, we did see the ranchers embark and bring the bison together at the end. Truly a wonderful experience!
Perfect for observing bison

Katie Mac was an excellent guide. We travelled through Antelope park and received continuous information on the habitat and the animals of the park and surrounding area. We saw dozens of bison close up and from afar.
