What To Expect
Combine your trip to the Great Salt Lake with what I consider the only way to visit it by experiencing Antelope Island. This little known island is teaming with wildlife, and you can't get the quiet of wilderness by simply visiting it near I-80. We will spot for the wild herd of 600 American Bison roaming the island. Amongst the Bison we'll watch for coyote, bobcat, antelope, porcupine, big-horn sheep, mule deer and if the season is right up to 200,000 migratory birds. You can truly experience Nature in its finest form on this beautiful island. After wildlife spotting, we'll hike to Buffalo Point on the Island to watch the sunset and take in the breathtaking views. *Bug Season (April-June) We have bug spray for the mosquitos, and hats/bug nets for the biting gnats. Midges do not bite. The Hike is .9 miles round trip. It has a couple steep parts on dirt, but it's very well traveled. I would designate this as a moderate hiking difficulty, which is less than a mile. The Tour Vehicle is a 10 Passenger Ford Transit Passenger Van with a High Roof and really great large windows in the back for viewing. There is bathroom availability

Very fun and informative

5.00It was fun. We spent a lot of time driving around picking everyone up and then getting to the island. The trip describes seeing many many different kinds of animals but in reality this is not true and never will be. We did see buffalo, owls and some sort of deer. The mile walk to see the sunset was only several yards. I think it’s a little pricey for what you get especially since a great deal of the 5 hours are spent picking people up and dropping them off. Our actual trip was just over 4 hours. Cramon our tour guide was the best ever! Absolutely loved him🧡. He made the trip worth it!

2.00I thought this tour was very overpriced for what you got. Cramon, our guide, was very informative and engaging. However, you basically ride in a van for 4 hours, 1.5 of which is entire to the state park and only got out twice. Several herds of bison were seen but that was about it. I would say for what you get, this tour was worth about $50-$60 a person and not $145 per person
Wonderful evening
