The driver was great. Very nice and tried to make something out of a very underwhelming tour. The smell was terrible and the area is very industrial. I wish we would have gone to park city or antelope island instead.
Response from Host , Jun 2022
This Lake is unique! No doubt about it! Desert lakes are extremely rare in the World and they are typically only beautiful to photographers and environmentalists. Some folks love mountains, tropical zones, etc. but other travelers love to see rare deserts, salt flats, and strange looking landscapes. Thanks for you comments.

Captain Valerie was very enthuiastic to introduce the ecology and history of the Salt lake. The weather that influenced the walter, was cloudy.
I recommend it.

it was a bad bus trip to a smelly lake and a dirty outdated visitors center!

at the very least this should be combined with an additional site the filth and order was so bad no one even tried going is water .Description on your website is totally misleading!
Response from Host , Oct 2021
Sorry you are one of the few people that frowns on this part of the Earth's creation and marvel. You kinda missed the point of the whole tour. It is not the most beautiful lake in the World, that is for certain. Mother nature gets blamed for a lot of things that are not aesthetically pleasing to all humans. Everything described on the website is accurate and most people are fascinated to see things like the "dead sea of America". People go floating in the lake all the time. It just depends on how you look at Mother nature's creations.
Great tour guide. Just need a little more time

Michael was very entertaining & knowledgeable. Wish we had a little more time at the lake. It takes some time to walk down to the lake, float, walk back up & change. The shower is a bit far away from where the lake is. And there was no shower to be found.
The bus was almost leaving.
So if you plan to use this time to float in the lake as that's what the tour is for, then you have to make it super quick.
Great Excursion But Mask Aversion

Giving this tour a good review due to knowledge and friendliness of guide. Although I enjoyed this small group and van excursion, I felt uncomfortable and unsafe as my spouse and I were the only individuals who wore masks.

The tour was excellent. Our tour guide was funny, knowledgeable, and engaging, and made the trip that much more fun. We were able to swim in the lake and get some nice gadgets from the visitor center afterwards. Highly recommend it. Go with your bathing suit already on and bring a change of clothes.
Worthwhile and informative afternoon

Tour guide was very informative and entertaining!
Had a special needs man on bus, who could have been an issue and she handled him and the situation beautifully! Kudos! That takes a special talent while keeping everyone else happy!

Great tour just not sure the actual lake was worth it. But, the organization and tour guide was very knowledgeable and enjoyable!!!
I would suggest that the description state that there are showers and changing rooms at the park. If I had known that I would have gone for a float.
a good time visiting the great salt lake

The guide was super friendly. He got there on time and the tour was really interesting. I don't think there was a question that he didn't know the answer to
Take a chance on floating in America’s version of the Dead Sea!

The tour gave you a nice experience of Great Salt Lake, you can go swimming and experience the float. It was smelly and to know why the brine fly and shrimp cause that odor. It was fun watching seagulls eat the flies and a sworm of black cloud ( flies) moving away from the seagull. Great facts of the economic growth that comes from this Great Lake!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
