Knowledgeable and friendly driver kept us learning as we headed to the Great Salt Lake. What we learned about the lake and what we experienced by taking the tour is going to stay with us for many years. I would highly recommend this tour. The Great Salt Lake is an amazing sight

Ayer studying the great Salt Lake in grade school, this was on my to do list. We made this the priority upon a stay in SLC. Our tour guide Valerie was knowledgeable and added an amusing twist of humor. Glad we were lucky enough to be on her tour.

The guide was very experienced and knowledgeable about the lake and Utah in general. An excellent experience! Be careful when swimming in the salt lake though. That salt can burn especially if you have cuts! And there are showers but it's just a hose out in the parking lot. Just be aware of that.

This was the perfect afternoon tour for something different and quick to see! Come prepared with a bathing suit and sandals so you can enjoy the full experience and float! My tour guide was fantastic! So knowledgeable and friendly. Made the ride fun!

Valorie was a great tour guide. There were 7 on our tour and it was a perfect number. The van was very nice and trip was the right amount of time.

If you want to swim bring a change of clothes. They have showers available. Great family experience!

Captain Valerie is one of the most energetic, fun tour guides you will ever have. She LOVES taking visitors to the Great Salt Lake. The energy starts the moment you get on the bus and continues until you get off. She even gets in the water with you! She said that she has never had a "sinker stinker" in the GSL, and I told her I accepted her challenge, as I don't float at all. She pointed out landmarks and gave history on the way there, including a quick stop to take pictures (from a distance) when she spotted an antelope under a tree on the side of the highway. Once we got to the GSL, she took a picture for each of us next to the sign, then went to the water where she told us all about the brine flies and shrimp. I gladly lost my challenge, and for the first time in my life, floated on water without assisted devices. The tour overall was about two hours - long enough to make it worth the while, but not so long that it took up the whole day. For the price, it was a great deal. highly recommend!

Highly recommend going to the Great Salt Lake! Beautiful, interesting smell (it’s not a bad smell) and definitely worth the time. Mark, our guide, did a great job sharing information and preparing us for what to expect at the lake.
