“Best day of my life (took their Antelope Park Dark Sky tour and Bonneville Salt Flats tour on same day) all thanks to Southwest tours, who were so friendly in their execution. Right from perfect online booking experience, pre-trip coordination to the most amazing tour, don't even think twice and be rest assured of a fab time. Tour guide felt more like a friend and professional photographer (very important if you are a solo traveler who loves clicking pics :D ) and shared so many interesting info about Great Salt Lake, Utah and Salt Flats. Tour was not hurried and sufficient time at each pit stop. Salt Flats is a must visit unique experience. We have one in India, but Bonneville was magnificent. Entire tour was super scenic and amazing transport, pick up/drop. Loved it! Go for it! And then the brilliance of night sky! Getting a pic with comet (truly once in a lifetime experience), to seeing moonrise from horizon, spotting falling stars, satellites, planets, constellation and seeing beautiful moon craters, what an incredible experience. Don't miss out on this! and as usual Southwest team was fabulous! Despite just 3 of us on the tour, they went ahead with it, and gave us the most memorable experience.”

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.
