Very informative

The only thing was the tour wasn't 45min as stated, wish it would of been longer and we could of gone to more areas of the lake. The guide showed mountains in the distance and wish we could of gone closer to them. Would be nice if you added time so we could jump in the lake and experience floating and how it would feel.

The Great Salt Lake boat tour
Jilleyn_K
, Jun 2022
Our tour guide Tyler was very knowledgeable. He taught us a lot about The Great Salt Lake, about the water level changes, the reason why Utah is called the beehive state, and why they are known to have the best snow in the winter. He told us about the building that turned into a concert hall, the area copper mine, and also about how the lakes salty water corrodes boats very quickly. They have to change parts underneath their boat about every 6 mths. It was a great tour, and we got to feel the water & when it dries on you how salty it makes your skin.
Fun way to learn about Salt Lake

Disappointing

We made reservations for two boats and there was only one! So our people had only a 30 minutes ride and then had to wait while the second half of our group made their trip.
Response from Host , Jul 2022
These folks made the reservation with a third-party vendor that double booked them. We currently only have one boat and our reservation system caps at nine people so I don’t know how these people were able to make two reservations of 9ppl at the same time. We were very apologetic about this even if it wasn’t our fault and we offered to just split the group and do two 30 minute Tours so we could get all 18 people out on the water and of course we refunded the second booking. Apparently it wasn’t good enough for these people. Not sure what else we could have done to make the situation better.
Worthwhile boat tour.

Not the most exciting way to spend an hour, but not the worst. Slowly made our way out of the marina, went out aways and came back with great views of the mountains, Kennecott smelter, Antelope Island, and lots of cute grebes. Meanwhile, the captain-guide talked about the lake and area history and ecology. Great time to go—clear skies and perfect temperature, but post-migration, so few birds. Well spaced seating for breathing safety.

Amazing Staff, Awesome Views

Amazing staff that are all super accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable. Laid back, fun, and unique way to check out the great Salt Lake as a tourist or even local. The ride is just the right amount of time, you can do the whole thing in an hour which makes it perfect if you have limited time or kids that don't sit still. I can't get over how super nice and chill the operators of this tour were!

Boat tour was canceled due to weather which is understandable. Still waiting for my refund which is not understandable.
Response from Host , Oct 2021
Figured I’d update my response for other reviewers to read. So sweet old Joanne wrote me this review just two days after we had to cancel her tour due to weather. I told her she would get a full refund and she responded positive but Expedia sent her a review request so Joanne was very trigger happy to write me a 1 star review even when I told her she would get her money back. I contacted my bank to ensure her that she was refunded and they said yes and sent me a receipt. I texted her the receipt of her refund and even called her to make sure the money got returned just so I would know this misunderstanding was resolved. She seemed very irritated the last time I contacted her so I stopped. Funny how she was so excited to write me a bad review but was upset with me when I was trying to help her and make it right.

We had a great time on this tour boat!!!! Great information!! Jokes got better towards the end!!! Very little amount of bugs we did not have to wear the protective face gear did for photos!!! When the flys which are small like Nats when they would come by us are capped and you can move the boat a little faster and turn a certain way they were gone!! Great time try it!!!!

Horrible stinky place. Not with the money. We expected some great experience but the place is horrible. City could have developed little more and interesting.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
