On this unique, adventurous experience you will get a a birds eye view of The Great Salt Lake that puts into perspective the scale and beauty of this top Utah attraction. What would take a full day to see by car, we will squeeze into an action packed 40 minute flight. The GSL is an iconic landmark and you will see views that have been constantly evolving since it’s creation during the Bonneville flood over 14,500 years ago! One of the benefits of visiting the lake by air is we have no negative ecological impact. You will see many of the animals that call the Great Salt Lake home such as elk, antelope, buffalo, deer, coyote, and even eagles. After a quick safety briefing we will get in the plane, buckle up, and begin our adventure. Half of the flight will be up high with expansive views, and the other half will be "low and slow" where you will feel like we are in a flying car.
Seeing the Great Salt Lake by air is one of the best ways to appreciate the size and beauty of this iconic landmark.
We often see Buffalo, antelope, deer, coyote, and even the occasional eagle when flying over this famous state park.

Fun experience for a couple in a small plane. Partner truly enjoyed reliving some memories of his flying time from the past and all the knowledge Neil provided about his particular plane and plane developments over the years. The tour gave us a whole different perspective of both the Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island on the last day of our SLC adventure!
Drove 1/2 hour to airport. Nobody was there to meet us. We texted the pilot and it took half hour to answer and he had no idea and was never told about this appointment for our flight. Had to refund money. Worst experience ever. Will never book with you again.
Amazing experience with a great pilot that really loves what he does, me and my wife had and awesome tour with Neil great guy with a lot of flying experience
A very unique and rare experience! Getting to fly over Antelope Island and the Great Salt Lake was such a cool way to see so much more than by car or foot. Neil is so personable and a great communicator pre-tour. He is an experienced tour guide/pilot and does such a good job explaining the plane, the surrounding area and finding the animals on the island. I’m so glad I found this experience and hope to come back and do it again someday!
Neil is a wonderful pilot and the flight was amazing. We loved seeing animals, especially the bison on Antelope Island. It was so peaceful and magical to fly low near the Salt Lake. We were delighted with the your.
This was a truly unique experience for me. I have never been on a small aircraft before and it was such an awesome time! Neil was the best! Very friendly with a lot of knowledge of the area. I highly recommend this tour for everyone!
it was very informative and beautiful. We enjoyed every minute of it. He is a great pilot and made it fun. we will recommending him to all our friends.
Absolutely a fantastic flight. Neil was fabulous. Highly recommend the air tour of the salt lake. Everything was perfect.
Neil was great and very personable. He was very experienced at flying. He was also able to take us out and find wildlife and provide an enjoyable flight. We flew at very low attitudes to get a good view of the wildlife. I would highly recommend this flying experiences to get a birdseye of the local scenery and wildlife. My wife was able to fly the plane for a little bit too.
Great experience. Perfect communication before and also during. Neil is passionate and trustworthy. Anytime again!
