“I had such a great time visiting the salt flats with tour guide, Ann. She was exceptionally knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information with our group on the history of the area. I highly recommend using this tour company because it was so simple—picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel too.”

“Sonsari, thank you for making my first-time visit to the Great Salt Lake and Bonneville Salt Flats unforgettable, educational, and entertaining. Grateful for your attentiveness to our entire tour group. From taking stunning and creative pictures of us, to sharing details about the terrain that we passed by throughout the car ride, to taking care of us in pockets of thunderstorms and heavy rain, I was engaged the entire time. When I revisit SLC, I look forward to seeing your Mother Loch Ness next to the little one!”

EasyLevel 1 of 4
- Made paths, boardwalks and paved overlooks. Under two miles of walking on any day, and you can sit most of it out.
- Some viewpoints sit above 8,000ft, where the air is thin enough to notice. Nothing is scrambled, roped or exposed.
- Not suitable for a wheelchair or a walker — the ground is even but it is not always paved. Fine with a walking stick. Tell us when you book and we will plan around it.
- Your guide may change or drop a stop for weather, road closures or time. What is walked on the day is their call.
Anything specific — a knee, a hip, a height worry, a wheelchair — is worth one phone call to 800-970-5864. We would rather move you to a different trip than have you on the wrong one.
