More ways to experience Antelope Island:
Prefer a more flexible private experience or an evening sunset safari? We also offer the Private Antelope Island State Park Tour and Great Salt Lake Sunset Safari Tour.
Note: Biting gnats may be present April–June, so we may spend more time viewing from the vehicle while still exploring the island.

Sunset Tour Times:
Pickup times will vary throughout the year to correspond with timing the sunset so please look for communication through Viator regarding tour start times if booking a sunset tour.

Tours are mostly conducted in a 6 passenger Chrysler Pacifica minivan. Passengers must be able to step up and down approximately 18 inches into the vehicle and access rear seats.
To help reduce Salt Lake's ongoing air quality issues, we prioritize using electric or hybrid vehicles whenever possible. Smaller groups or solo travelers may ride in a more compact vehicle for a more efficient and eco-friendly experience.
