Cruise the Great Salt Lake near the marina, hear local stories, and enjoy demonstrations on this relaxed 45-minute boat tour.
About this tour
See the Great Salt Lake from the water on a relaxed 45-minute boat ride. This Great Salt Lake Boat Tour offers a closer look at the marina and the lake’s wide-open scenery, with a captain sharing local history, stories, and jokes along the way.
The boat stays within about a mile of the marina, giving you time to listen to commentary, enjoy a few demonstrations, and take photos rather than race across the water. Bottled water is provided, and netted hats are available if bugs gather near the marina. The lake is known as the saltiest body of water in the Western Hemisphere, and this short outing brings you onto the water instead of leaving you to admire it from shore.
Meet at Great Salt Lake State Park, in the brown building behind the park sign. Arrive on time, then settle in for an easygoing Great Salt Lake Boat Tour filled with lake views and stories.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.75 from 1,066 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Salt Lake City
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.6.
