Highlights
  • Great Salt Lake State Park - We will depart from the Great Salt Lake State Park Marina.
  • Great Salt Lake - 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.
  • Salt Lake City - views of the salt lake valley and mountains from the lake

Additional Information

Exclusive Excursions is thrilled to operate on The Great Salt Lake, acclaimed as the saltiest water body in the Western Hemisphere. Capitalize on this opportunity by not just viewing the lake from the bank, but immersing yourself on it. Our journey includes a brief boat tour around the marina, indulging in fascinating tales, history and humor associated to the lake, along with several demonstrations. Naturally, there will be sufficient opportunities to capture memorable photos.

Since the tour span is short, only 45 minutes, and considering the expansive nature of the lake, our voyage is limited to roughly a mile around the marina. Please note that this tour does not entail high-speed boating as the skipper prefers narrating interesting facts throughout the journey. We duly acknowledge feedback regarding slow speed and limited travel distance on the lake - this is our justification.

It’s true that the vicinity of the marina at The Great Salt Lake is a habitat to bugs. They are harmless and don’t bite but can form swarms occasionally. We provide netted hats to protect your face from these insects, so please ensure to pick one to avoid any discomfort. For real time updates on the bug situation which varies, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Educational and fun with some great views. - Captain Duncan was a great tour guide. His knowledge on the wildlife that rely on the Great Salt Lake was impressive. He provided several facts about the lake, local history and geography along with some jokes. Definitely worth checking this out. After you’re done with the boat ride check out the visitors center and Taz point right next to the marina.

GSL - Enjoyed our 45-minutes on the Great Salt Lake. Our Captain, Duncan, is a local and was very knowledgeable and engaging. Loved his “salty” jokes. I’d recommend this excursion.
