Private Wildlife and Scenic tour on Antelope Island
Description
Let's go on a safari together, and let's do it at your pace! No crowded buses or vans, with people you don't know! Instead, explore the island in a comfortable private vehicle with a guide that will cater to you! Join us as we search for one of the largest publicly owned bison herds in North America, and search for pronghorn antelope and mule deer along the way. Learn about the early Paleo people who hunted on the shores of the island 12,000 years ago, as well as the sheep and cattle herders that called this unforgiving land home into the 1980's. Antelope island is not just about the history and animals, but also about the beautiful scenery surrounding it. As we climb Buffalo point, see the amazing panoramic view of the Wasatch Mountains and Great Salt Lake; and for those wanting a more scenic experience, unforgettable sunset tours are also available.

Shawn did a great job setting up an interesting day and wanted to be sure we saw and learned everything we could. Very comfortable ride and great conversation.
Thank you Geri, it was fun getting to know both of you! Im glad you enjoyed your time.
We saw a herd of Bisons on the island, one antelope, and a burrowing owl. It was a great visit if you are into the wildlife scene. We had a mixup on pickup time, hence, the 4-star rating.
Thanks for the review, I am glad you enjoyed the tour, and I apologize for the pickup time miscommunication. We will continue to work hard to make sure that doesn't happen.
Phenomenal experience - magnificent views - lots of wildlife and a really good guide - we had a great day and I would highly recommend the tour
Thank you Tony! It was fun to have you both!
