Q&A

Q: What do you wear for the Antelope Island Wildlife Expedition? Any tips on footwear?

A: Definitely wear comfortable hiking shoes or boots, as you'll be doing some walking, especially at Buffalo Point. Dress in layers since the weather can change quickly on the island. I’d recommend a light jacket and maybe a hat for sun protection. Don't forget to bring sunglasses and sunscreen, too!

Q: Are kids allowed on this tour? What's the age limit?

A: Yes, kids are welcome on the tour! There’s no specific age limit, but I’d recommend it for kids 8 and up so they can enjoy the hike and the wildlife viewing. They’ll love seeing the bison and antelope up close! Just be sure they’re able to walk some distance comfortably.

Q: What's the best time of year to go for wildlife viewing?

A: The best time for wildlife viewing on Antelope Island is in spring and early fall. The temperatures are mild, and you'll see the bison and antelope more active during these times. Plus, spring brings migratory birds, so it’s a birdwatcher's paradise!

Just did the Antelope Island Wildlife Expedition and wow!

I went on the Antelope Island Wildlife Expedition last weekend, and it was amazing! We saw bison, antelopes, and even some deer. The hike to Buffalo Point was easy but offered such stunning views of the Great Salt Lake and the mountains. Our guide was super knowledgeable about the history, especially at the Fielding Garr Ranch, which was really cool. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a unique gift experience!

Thinking about gifting the Antelope Island expedition, any thoughts?

I’m considering buying the Antelope Island Wildlife Expedition for my dad’s birthday. He loves nature and hiking. I know he’d enjoy the wildlife aspect, but I’m a bit worried about how strenuous the hike is. Can anyone share their experience or thoughts? Is it a good fit for someone who's not super fit?
