Discover cool things to do
in Salt Lake City

I brought my friend from Italy on this excursion. She loved it. I am a local and would encourage other locals to experience the Great Salt Lake on this boat ride. The brine shrimp are not a problem. Tyler was a wonderful guide. His passion for the Great Salt Lake was very apparent. He is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. It was a very delightful ride!

We booked this experience for the primary purpose of seeing wildlife and the Great Salt Lake. It was a 10/10 on that! Our guide was very informative and knowledgeable and knew a lot of history. I'll be honest and say that at times, it was just a little too much constant talking. Sometimes on these trips, it's just nice to have a little quiet to observe the beautiful scenery. We knew up front from the description and reviews that we would be on Antelope Island for the sunset. Our trip started at 3:40 due to sunset being about 9:00 PM. He told us up front that we would be back to Salt Lake City by 9:30. However, it was after 10:30 PM when we got back to our hotel. So the trip ended up being right at 7 hours. There were times on the trip that it was obvious he was just having to kill time to get us to the time for sunset - like spending 45 minutes or so at the Fielding Garr Ranch. That could easily have been a 15-minute stop. It turned out to be cloudy, which I know no one can control, so we stayed out there that long to actually NOT see a true sunset. As far as seeing wildlife, he definitely made sure that happened - we were able to get "up close and personal" with about 100 bison! We also saw a pronghorn family and a large owl. Because of our guide's knowledge, the views of the lake, and the bison, we are giving this trip 4 stars (with taking a star off for the length of the trip/having to find ways to kill time to get to the sunset). I will commend our host for this: in our group of 13, there was an extremely rude woman who truly complained for the entire 7 hours we were on the van. Our guide did everything he could to make her happy, answer her questions (sometimes even after he had explained things multiple times), and make the experience a good one. He was far nicer and more professional than I think I could have ever been. He was patient and calm and accommodating.

We had a great time out on the Lake. Dunkin was super knowledgeable about the lake and surrounding areas. Lots of reviews mentioned too many bugs at the lake and horrible smell. There were ton of flies for about two minutes on the return to dock and that was it and regarding the smell, it wasn't that bad at all. Have fun and go!

Great experience! Surprised more native Utahns don’t do this. What a resource to have for healing skin issues and having the experience to float with no effort is also beneficial. Capt Duncan was awesome as well. He knew the history of the lake and had some cool places to jump in.

Todd was very interesting to listen to!

So worth it and so enjoyable! We learned so much history about Salt Lake that we would have never found out on our own. And what's really nice is you can do this bus tour if you are limited on time in Salt Lake City or if you have more time. Going on this trolley bus tour gave us ideas of places to stop and tour with the additional time that we had in Salt Lake. The price is way more than reasonable and worth every penny. We laughed and sang and enjoyed not being out in the heat. Highly highly recommend!

Wonderful tour. Great way to spend a couple of hours learning about Salt Lake City history. Todd, our tour guide was excellent. A wealth of information. Attending the Tabernacle Choir rehearsal was icing on the cake.

A fantastic, fun, and informative tour of one of Salt Lake City’s must see attractions. Book this tour now!

This trolley ride of Salt lake city was wonderful!! Matthew and Haley and the driver were professional, hilarious and talented!! Our family of 3 had a great time. They let us take pictures, were super helpful, friendly, informative and fun!!

Antelope island should be renamed “Bison Island”. So many bison and up close picture opportunities. Then the sunset was amazing!

Amazing experience floating in the great salt lake! Captain Duncan was funny, informative & even jumped in with us! Absolute hidden GEM of a tour. I only say that because there was no one else on the lake. Gorgeous, serene & fun!

He was so informative and helpful. Made us fall in love with the city! Was so glad we took this tour! Highly recommend and he’s the best!

Antelope Island is a beautiful state park. Hosting a herd of bison, qnd pronghorn. We saw children and adults of both. The landscape is varied with rocky outcroppings, the salt lake and grassland. If you want to visit, make the most of your time by going on this tour.Dima is full of energy. Able to talk for hours on wildlife, human history and geography. He even performed some tracking, and gave us lots of time to watch and observe the wildlife. He made sure we got to see every corner of the island.We were provided with water which was very helpful on a very hot Salt Lake evening. We went early July when sunset was late, tour started at 16:00ish so that timings ensured we finished with a beautiful sunset over the lake. We ate a large lunch before setting off, which saw us through the day, but others may want to bring a sandwich.Dima is an award winning photographer, and used many of his own photos as a visual aid for the animals on the island. He also volunteered to take people’s photos for and provided us with lots of professionally composed photos.Look out for the sheep shoot.

We took the Salt Lake City Tour and were very impressed with Matthew’s knowledge and delivery. Outstanding tour because of Matthew!!

This is a must do if you visit the Salt Lake area. Excellent service from Mountain Slayerz.

It was a fun way to spend an hour or so while we waited for the event we came for. A little pricey for the thrill but we didn’t leave disappointed.
