Additional Information

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.

Absolutely worth it!! - Highly recommend that you take the time to enjoy this unique experience! We were visiting SLC for a college tour and this was a fantastic way to get an overview of the surrounding area. A beautiful afternoon of gliding over the lake, viewing herds of Buffalo and taking in the gorgeous spring weather. Take the time and make a reservation - it was absolutely worth it!

Incredible flight experience - This was by far the best experience I've ever had. Neil is a professional pilot, and we flew on a Cesna 170, which made the experience unique and personalized. If you are an aviation enthusiast, love sightseeing or dream of getting on a flying car, this is your chance!! He will teach you a lot aviation and the city in an incredible friendly environment. I'm looking forward to take this tour again sometime. Note: Be aware that reviews are sometimes shared by different third party's websites, so that you can find the rest of the reviews and pictures in those websites as well, also, take into consideration this booking ia totally private to you and your party, and that's usually expensive, even for a short flight, therefore, this price was very convenient and I strongly recommend treating yourself or your loved ones with this amazing experience!

Super tour of the Great Salt Lake - A few years ago, while my wife was travelling for business, I drove all the way around the Lake. Most of the water-level view was just bad, but there are some locations where the views are great. Still, after living in SLC for 10 years, she said she hasn't seen the lake up close. And so, I booked this aerial view of the Lake. Neil met us at the south regional airport, introduced us to his small plane, and off we went. We flew over Magna, then over the lake to Antelope Island, around the island, and then back. About 30-40 minutes. We saw herds of antelope in the hills above Magna, bison and coyotes on Antelope Island, and flew very low over the lakeshore. Really a great tour of the lake for $300ish. My wife commented that it was a great overview of the lake, and now she doesn't need to go to the lake to get lake-level views.

Five Stars. Top notch pilot, and top notch scenery. A must-do experience. - Five Stars. Even if you only have one day in Salt Lake City, this is a must-do. Incredible scenery, and a highly experienced pilot - which is so important. I come from an aerospace background and felt entirely safe. The pilot has a deep knowledge of the area and it's sights and geology.

Such a fantastic ride! - This was one of the most fantastic rides I've made. Neil was great, super helpful and clear in the communications before the event, and excellent during the ride, providing rich information on the environment, the wildlife, and the salt lake life. We saw buffalos, jackals, elks and bald eagles, in a fantastic tour over the mountains and the Antelope island. This is a must do and I recommend it strongly to everyone interested in the landscapes and the wildlife.

Just book it! - Amazing experience! Perfect way to see the greater SLC area from above, and the tour is personalized to you. A good mix of flying at different heights; at time it was like an air safari! Highly recommend
