Safari Utah is the best!
Took a guided tour to Antelope Island with Sinead from Safari Utah and it did not disappoint. From the meet up to the car ride to the island to the picture taking of all of the bisons to the beautiful sunset-it was definitely worth the trip. Sinead was awesome! Would definitely do it again!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for choosing our small business and for leaving such a lovely review. We love this island and sharing it with wonderful people from all over the world. So glad that the bison and the sunset showed off for you both! Enjoy the rest of your time in Utah. Sinéad

Awesome Antelope Island Sunset Tour
Such a fun tour! Our tour guide, Sinéad, was so knowledgeable about the island and had lots of fun facts to share. Got to see some awesome wild life and a breathtaking sunset from Buffalo Point at the end. A great option if you’re a solo traveler but want some company :) Highly recommend!!
Response from the operator: We are so lucky to have Antelope Island as our office! There is always something different to experience in this special part of Utah, and the views never disappoint. I'm so happy you enjoyed our small group format, our aim is for everyone to feel like they're getting shown around by local friends. It was great getting to know you, thank you so much for the review and enjoy the rest of your trip here! Sinéad

Great Salt Lake Sunset Safari Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salt Lake City.
How much does Great Salt Lake Sunset Safari Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $160 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 Sunset Safari Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 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 Sunset Safari Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Sunset Safari 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 Sunset Safari Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Great Salt Lake Sunset Safari Tour?
+
Around 1 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Great Salt Lake Sunset Safari 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, Salt Lake City Trolley Tour with Characters & Stories, Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square & Salt Lake City Bus Tour. 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.
What is included in Great Salt Lake Sunset Safari Tour?
+
Included: Local guide; Use of binoculars; Entrance fees; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Bottled water; and Sunscreen and insect repellent are recommended. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Great Salt Lake Sunset Safari Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 44 listed pickup locations in and around Salt Lake City. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Great Salt Lake Sunset Safari Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Great Salt Lake Sunset Safari Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Great Salt Lake Sunset Safari Tour if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Salt Lake City. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
