About this activity

Experience Antelope Island and the Great Salt Lake on an evening wildlife safari timed around golden hour and sunset.

This new Safari Utah experience is led by a Utah local and former African safari guide and follows a similar itinerary to our top-rated Great Salt Lake Safari - Discover Antelope Island, exploring wildlife, scenery, ecology, and history, with extra time for evening light and sunset.

Wildlife: Search for bison, pronghorn, mule deer, coyotes, raptors, shorebirds, owls, and seasonal species.

Photography: Evening light can create excellent conditions for wildlife and landscape photography.

Sunset: We'll make the 1 mile round hike to Buffalo Point for sunset views over the Great Salt Lake.

Small groups keep the pace relaxed and personal, ideal for couples, photographers and nature lovers.

Please note- We do not stop at the Visitor Center or Fielding Garr ranch as these close at 5pm. Guests must have sufficient fitness for hiking a rocky trail with 300ft elevation gain
