The Experience
Before You Go
Bring layered clothing
Antelope Island’s weather shifts quickly, so layers help you stay comfortable throughout the tour.
Wear sturdy footwear
Even on a vehicle tour, some walking on gravel or uneven ground might occur near wildlife viewing spots.
Stay hydrated
Carry water—Utah’s dry air and the island’s wide-open spaces can dehydrate you faster than expected.
Use sun protection
Wide-open salt flats reflect sun intensely; sunscreen and sunglasses are important year-round.
