45 Minute Great Salt Lake Boat Tour
Description
Exclusive Excursions is happy be on The Great Salt Lake, which is the saltiest body of water in the Western Hemisphere. Come enjoy this experience by actually going out on the lake rather than just seeing it from the shore. We will do a short boat ride around the marina area, hear some stories, history and jokes about the lake, and even do a few demonstrations. And of course have time for a good picture or two. Since it’s only 45 minutes and the lake is so big and wide, we just stay within a mile of the marina and this tour is not a high speed boat ride because the captain likes to give commentary the whole time. Some people complain that we don’t go fast or farther out in the lake so this is why. Yes the great salt lake has bugs near the marina. They don’t bite but can swarm at times. We give you hats with nets to keep them out of your face so please take one so they don’t “bug” you. Give us a call if you want an update about the current bug situation since it always changes.

Itinerary
We will depart from the Great Salt Lake State Park Marina.
We will head out on the lake on our motorized pontoon boat. We will get to see some great views of the lake and shoreline. We will hear some stories, history and even a joke or two about this world unique area. Since the lake is so big and wide, we just stay within a mile of the marina since all the islands are several miles away and the views really don’t change getting further in the middle of the lake. The boat goes slow so the captain can give commentary the whole time. If you are looking for a high speed boat tour that circumnavigates the lake, this is probably not the tour for you since it’s only 45 minutes long.

Our guide was knowledgeable and funny. We learned all kinds of things about the lake that you would never guess. The bugs aren't that bad either.
The whole experience was worth it. Duncan was informative and funny
This was a 10 out of 10 experience. Duncan knows the Great Salt Lake and the history of the area. It was a fun experience and he delivered the knowledge in a helpful and entertaining way. It was a highlight of my trip.
Captain Duncan is great at making the trip fun for kids. We enjoyed the trip so much. It’s safe and refreshing and fun.
Very good interesting to hear about the history. Experienced something I’ve never seen. Captain Tyler was awesome.
Great tour. Boat captain was knowledgeable. He was very easygoing and friendly. He gave us the idea of going to Antelope Island!
Our Captain, Becky, was awesome. There were many flies when we were out, but they do not bite and are just a part of the ecosystem. It was a very unique way to learn about the Great Salt Lake!
We signed up for the 45 minute boat tour of the Great Salt Lake. Colton was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and funny. He knew many facts about the lake. It was a good way for us to begin our stay in Salt Lake City riding on the iconic salty lake.
