All rides are led by expert wranglers that are intimately familiar with Antelope Island, its history, it's flora and fauna. Wranglers match the tour to the skill level of the customer and gear the ride to most novice rider in the group. Rides are tailored to the customers' desire and can range over 13,000 acres of the island. Fascinating facts about the island's history, geology, and wildlife are all part of the experience. We earnestly strive to provide exactly the experience you hope to enjoy. Our repeat business is testament to our success in doing so.

Our most popular tour is a two hour ride to the west side of the island. Wildlife is the main draw and you can usually expect close views of Deer and Buffalo. Other popular tours include the "Mushroom Springs" ride and the "Mulberry Trees" ride. Mushroom Springs is a one hour loop to the largest spring on the island. Wildflowers are profuse in summer and Bald Eagles are regular in winter. The Mulberry Trees were originally planted to host silk worms in an effort to exploit the silk trade. You can get up close and personal with many species of waterfowl and birds that call the marshes home. Explore geologic wonders like ancient volcanoes or four different levels of Lake Bonneville. Wildflowers provide a gorgeous backdrop and the scenery is outstanding anywhere on the island.

Our horses are experienced and gentle enough for rank beginners. All have starred in a major motion picture. Copper in"Far and Away", "Buck and Blackie in "The Postman", Moe and Bob in KBYU's "The Sacred Stone". Smoke, Shilo, Shorty and PJ appeared in "Return to Lonesome Dove" and "Geronimo".

Groups are typically small, ideally six or less to ensure minimal impact to the habitat and that each participant gets the most from the experience. We prefer to have children of at least eight years old but special arrangements can be made for those under eight. Tours are available all year and reservations are preferred.

Trails may be closed in case of natural hazards, emergencies or other circumstances.
