Great narration and smooth ride. We saw antelope, deers, elks, coyotes, and the beautiful salt lake only 10s of feet above the ground.

I recently had the incredible opportunity to take a flight over the Great Salt Lake in a small airplane, and it was nothing short of breathtaking. From the moment we arrived, our pilot made us feel completely at ease. Friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about flying, Neil took the time to explain the route and safety details before we took off. As we soared above Salt Lake City and the lake itself, the views were absolutely stunning, the shimmering water, the unique salt flats, and the contrast of the mountains on the horizon made for an unforgettable panorama. Flying in a smaller aircraft gave us a much more intimate and immersive experience, with great visibility and the ability to fly lower for better views. The flight was smooth and relaxing, and the pilot pointed out landmarks and fun facts along the way, which added a lot to the experience. It’s a perfect activity for photographers, adventure seekers, or anyone waiting to see Utah’s natural beauty from a whole new perspective. Highly recommended this to locals and visitors alike. A true hidden gem !

This was gifted to us from our children and WOW, what an experience! Our pilot, Neil, contacted us beforehand to look at changing our time and we moved it up to 8:30 am, best decision ever! The temperature was cool and just perfect going that early. We did the Cottonwood Canyon tour with Neil. His plane is a Bush plane, which we’ve never flown in before, and the experience was phenomenal! Super smooth take off and landing, no concerns about anything. Flight was smooth, weather was gorgeous and the views were simply amazing. Neil was very friendly and informative, answering all of our questions and letting us know so much about the topography and history of Salt Lake City. If you are looking for something different to do while you’re in Salt Lake City, this is it! Worth every penny and every minute spent in the air. We will definitely book with Neil again when we’re visiting the city!

Our scenic Cottonwood Canyons tour with Neil was epic. We saw amazing geological diversity from an excellent new perspective. We observed a herd of elk lazing and grazing mountainside. A great tour for myself who knows nothing about flight and my father who knows everything about everything. We felt like we were in excellent hands with Neil. Highly recommend. Will book again.

Neil took my parents and I on a flying adventure around Antelope Island- we saw bison, bighorn sheep, antelope, pelicans, and a den of coyotes with 2 young coyotes, amazing experience. My mother even got to fly the plane for a minute!

This was one of the most unique and incredible experiences I’ve ever had. I’ve lived in Salt Lake City for over 20 years, and this truly opened my eyes to the stunning variety of landscapes right in our backyard. From majestic mountains to the vibrant colors of the Great Salt Lake, and the serene beauty of Antelope Island—it was all breathtaking. We saw so many different animals along the way, which made it even more special. I can’t recommend this enough, whether you're visiting or a local like me. You’ll see Salt Lake in a whole new way!

Neil was awesome, plain and simple. My husband loves to fly and hasn’t been up in ten years. He was like a kid on Christmas morning on this flight! If you’re thinking about booking the flight, do it! It’s unique, beautiful, and boat load of fun!
