Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Din rejse begynder i Salt Lake City med historier om Utah's fortid og dets bemærkelsesværdige landskaber. Under kørslen fra Salt Lake City vil du se landskabet forvandles - høje bjerge rammer horisonten, ekspansive dale strækker sig i afstand, og den skinnende Great Salt Lake tilføjer sin unikke skønhed. Når du nærmer dig Antelope Island, skaber de skiftende udsigter forventning, indtil øens betagende panorama udfolder sig for dine øjne.
Den største ø i Great Salt Lake er hjemsted for et særligt geologisk landskab og et mangfoldigt økosystem. Ved ankomsten vil du opdage, hvorfor denne afsides beliggenhed har fanget besøgende i generationer.
Scenic Marina Dit første stop afslører, hvor den unikke saltvandsgremmesektor blev født. I disse farvande — saltere end havet — trives disse små, men bemærkelsesværdige væsener og danner grundlaget for livet i den store Salt Lake. Deres modstandsdygtighed og unikke egenskaber har også gjort dem til en vigtig økonomisk ressource for regionen.
Anmeldelser af Lady Finger Trail Overlook En kort gåtur fører til Lady Finger Trail Overlook, hvor rejsende belønnes med omfattende panoramaudsigt over søen, hvor dens skinnende overflade tilsyneladende smelter sammen med horisonten.
Unikke sandstrande En gåtur langs Bridger Bay Beach til vandets kant giver en følelse af ro og en tættere forbindelse med naturen.
Vilde dyr at se Øens vildmark, der strækker sig langs sine vandrestier og kystlinje, giver habitat til en bred vifte af vilde dyr. Besøgende tilbydes en sjælden mulighed for at observere dem på nært hold. En af de mest bemærkelsesværdige seværdigheder er en af Amerikas ældste overlevende bisonbesætninger.
Højdepunktet på vores tur er et besøg på Fielding Garr Ranch - øens første permanente bosættelse, som spillede en afgørende rolle i dens udvikling og bevarelse. Her vil du opdage fascinerende historier om modige mormonske pionerer - øens første bosættere - og deres kamp for at overleve over for hårde forhold og et uforudsigeligt naturmiljø.
Hoteller i nærheden af Buffalo Point Overlook Din udforskning kulminerer på Buffalo Point Overlook, øens kronjuvel udsigtspunkt. Fra denne ledende stilling, vidne til den fulde storhed af den store Salt Lake strækker sig uendeligt mod horisonten. Her, den geologiske historie udfolder sig, som du lærer, hvordan denne store saltvand er faktisk en rest af prehistoriske Lake Bonneville, en gammel krop af vand, der engang dækket meget af vestlige Utah tusinder af år siden. For dem, der søger en givende finale, venter en valgfri 15 minutters top vandretur langs vores godt vedligeholdte 5.300 fods sti (1,6 km). Et spektakulært 360-graders panorama udfolder sig: Salt Lake's farvande skinner ned som et spejl, mens de snedækkede Wasatch Mountains stiger majestætisk mod øst og fjerne områder falmer til lilla silhuetter. Denne uberørte vildt udsigt tilbyder et sjældent glimt af landskaber, der har forblevet næsten uændret i århundreder - en perfekt konklusion til din ø opdagelse.

Had a great time. Saw a lot of wildlife.
Dima was a great guide and did an awesome job keeping us engaged in our journey! The only minor issue was that we ended up in the back row of the van…it was bumpy and full…every seat was taken. It would have been awesome if we had a seat further up front.
Interesting! Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The views were great and we loved seeing the herd of buffalo. It was a HOT day so we appreciated all the water that was provided and the fact that our guide stopped at the places where we could hike a bit at the beginning of the tour when it wasn't quite so hot. Just seeing the Great Salt Lake made the trip worthwhile to me.
Dima is a knowledgeable and considerate guide! Communication beforehand was great—we were staying at an Air BnB and he picked us up in a spotless van, stocked with water and snacks. He told us so much history about Utah and was happy to snap pics for us! We saw gorgeous bison, deer, antelope and an owl. The scenery was lovely as well. It was a real highlight of our time in Salt Lake City. Thank you, Dima!
Guide tried very hard to ensure we enjoyed trip. Unfortunately weather was very hot and AC was not cooling down bus, so uncomfortable. Great to see herd of bison and crossing road in front of us. Guide was really trying to get best views and experience for us. I found it hard to understand Guide. Tour seemed long, but weather being so hot played a part in that.
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.
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.
10/10 would do again! Very knowledgeable and answered every question. His sense of humor was amazing.
This was an Amazing experience. Highly recommend Matei Travel Team! He was very knowledgeable, not only about Salt Lake City, but history in general. We got close enough to the bison, pet horses, saw some prong horns, bunnies, owls, and different kinds of birds. The sunset was spectacular and definitely worth the climb! Very memorable experience, highly recommend Antelope Island! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had a wonderful experience on this tour. It was the right balance of beautiful scenery, rare wildlife, and new knowledge. Dima knows a lot about a lot and shares it in engaging ways. He gives 100% to insure everyone is included and enjoying their tour.
