Jarred was an excellent guide who added to the experience with some surprising facts along with a great sense of humor. The boat was a pontoon-style boat, well kept, and very comfortable. The lake was calm, making for a serene trip with slow cruising speed. We really enjoyed it!
Phenomenal experience on the Great Salt Lake! Super highly recommend for the views and excellent tour guide.
Not a lot of time in the sun. No need for extra sunscreen or hat. Mostly popping in and out of tour van. The hike at the end is a little steep for older people but there is still a good view if you don’t go to the top. Bring water.
