Truly a fun experience and I really appreciate how small the groups are. It is nice to be able to be so flexible in a tour.

Wonderful Tour
From hotel pickup to drop-off, my wife and I had an absolutely fantastic day! Logan, our tour guide, couldn’t have been more knowledgeable about Antelope Island, Salt Lake City, and the surrounding area. We learned so much about Antelope Island, its history, wildlife, and current state, while also getting a fascinating look into the history and happenings of Salt Lake City and the surrounding area. Logan made the entire experience interesting, informative, and enjoyable. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Ask for Logan—you won’t be disappointed!

We were able to see a lot of animals during the later tour. Blake, our guide, seemed to have an eye for spotting them. Very enjoyable!

Highly recommend!
Antelope Island Tour was fantastic! 12 people in our van, perfect size group. We saw Bison, which was awesome! Our guide, Lindsay, (I'm almost positive that's her name), was great! She knew a lot. We did the short hike, saw great things. I highly recommend this tour!

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salt Lake City.
How much does Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $145 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Salt Lake City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 5.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Salt Lake City is not rushed.
Is Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 322 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Salt Lake City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island Day Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island Day Tour?
+
Around 113 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Salt Lake City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Salt Lake City and add a light layer if any part of the 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island Day Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Salt Lake City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Salt Lake City?
+
Salt Lake City is a basecamp: Big and Little Cottonwood canyon hikes and ski shuttles, Antelope Island and Great Salt Lake trips, Park City transfers and Temple Square walking tours. Winter transfer reliability is the single biggest quality signal here. On Outty we rank every Salt Lake City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Salt Lake City Guided Bus Tour, Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square & Salt Lake City Bus Tour, Great Salt Lake Safari - Discover Antelope Island. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Salt Lake City?
+
December to March for skiing, June to September for canyon hiking. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Salt Lake City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
