The tour was incredible. The island is a magical place. Clayton had so much knowledge that he shared with us about the geology, animals and the island itself. We saw bison, antelopes and too many birds to name. Great tour!
We're really passionate about this special place and it's uniqueness and it's always fun to share as much interesting info as you can take! Thank you for being a great guest and thank you so much for the amazing review!
We had an amazing time with Sinead. She was extremely knowledgeable in the area, geology and wildlife. She knew exactly where to look for the bison and we also saw pronghorn antelope, burrowing owls, a deer, and beautiful birds. With a short trip, our time was precious, and we couldn’t be happier we chose this tour. Despite the heat, we were comfortable in her van and got to see everything we could’ve hoped to and more.
I'm so glad you enjoyed your time on the island, thanks for sharing this lovely review! This is such a special corner of Utah, with so many beautiful animals, views and history to explore. I hope it added something special to your trip. Thanks for choosing us! Sinéad
Our tour guide was phenomenal. He is very knowledgeable about the island and Utah in general. There were plenty of stops along the way to get out and take pictures. The views were stunning. We saw a ton of bison even baby ones. They actually walked in front and behind our vehicle. I would highly recommend this tour!

Clayton was on time and very nice. He was very knowledgeable about Antelope Island. We learned about the flora and fauna, saw lots of birds, a mule deer and he found the buffalo herd for us to photograph. He made it a lots of fun. Highly recommend. Ruth, June 2026.
Thanks for taking the time to share this. I’m glad Antelope Island gave us such a nice mix that day, from the birds and mule deer to finally finding the bison herd for photos. It’s always fun when the island makes us work just a little for the wildlife. I really appreciate you coming out with us and recommending the tour.
