Last year I was in Salt Lake City for one day. Ran into a representative trying to explain how Southwest Adventure Tours could be a great value add to hotel guests. The ladies at the airport hotel could not appreciate the message but I managed to have quite a conversation with the rep. I told her when I returned, I would definitely look her company up. So glad I followed up. The first day I got to town, we booked a trip to Antelope Island. Rain was in the forecast but we persevered. They picked us up at the Salt Lake City Visitor Center in a large van with their logo painted on. They had waters for us and we were happy cause it had been a long day. Michelle was our tour guide and boy was she knowledgable. Despite her best efforts, the rain prevented me from getting any really good pictures but we got a great intro to the park, its residents and history. She even had great pictures of better weather days. Determined to try again, I booked another trip and tour leader, Sonsai was also extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I selected the 4:30 trip (it really started at 3:30) so I could get sunset shots. I was the only tourist so we had lots of time to see everything. When we arrived, the buffalo were all over the place. They were so close and they were very lively playing with each other and running. We saw a barn owl, a coyote, pheasants and pronghorn antelope. They are skittish so could not get close. My guide was constantly sharing info and making sure we were safe and not upsetting the wildlife. At the end of the day, we hiked up to a look out area for sunset shots. It was amazing. Without her encouragement, I would have never had enough guts to climb up there but what a view once we arrived. She even got shots of me, something you rarely get. I was ecstatic. It was a fantastic day an I am so glad I booked that second day.

This tour was AMAZING and our guide (Sonsari) was very knowledgeable and personable. We were picked up from the hotel right on time. Sonsari taught us several things about the area a s answered all our questions. We saw 30+ bison, pronghorn, coyote and an owl. 100% recommend

David was exceptional on providing all background and customizing experience and to my input. OMG I could never requested anything better. As I am a curious gentile he only offered his great opinions upon my pushing on LDS. Very eased with entire experience as an agnostic/Taoist was Wunderbar and I will absolutely repeat any trip with David. was a worthwhile experience. plus tour company continued tour with only one customer that is extremely above expectations.
