Lower Antelope Canyon General Guided Tour
Description
The Navajo name for Lower Antelope Canyon is Hasdeztwazi or “Spiral Rock Arches.” This incredible canyon has been created over many thousands of years by the relentless forces of water and wind, slowly carving and sculpting the sandstone into forms, textures, and shapes which we observe today. The views in Lower Antelope Canyon change constantly as the sun moves across the sky, filtering lights softly across the stone walls. These ever-moving sun angles bounce light back and forth across the narrow canyon’s walls, creating a dazzling display of color, light, and shadow.

Many travellers and photographers have been attracted here, regard it as a place where dreams come true.

This was one of the highlights of our trip. Lower antelope canyon is the best one to visit if you are only visiting one. It definitely didn’t disappoint. The guide and the colours in the canyon were fantastic! An experience like no other. I booked direct with Ken’s Tours. Don’t hesitate! It’s worth every penny and will be an experience you will never forget!
I took a solo trip to Antelope Canyon in June 2026 with Ken’s tour group. My tour guide was Kennedy, who did an awesome job with leading us through the canyon, giving us great background information. He also took amazing pictures for us, played us a traditional Navajo flute and was all around a great tour guide. Now this is just my opinion but the pricing of these tours aren’t worth it to me. Yes the pictures are beautiful, however you’re just walking around to take pictures and that’s it. The entire tour was about an hour, maybe 45-50 minutes. I drove up from Phoenix, which was about a 4 and half hour drive (there and back) so it was a lot (for me) to just take pictures and be done. Overall this is something to do at least once if you visit Arizona.
The Lower Antelope Canyon was incredible! Antonio C. did a great job guiding the tour and also took some wonderful photos of our family. The entire canyon was breathtaking, my family was blown away with the location and experience.
Mother Nature is amazing. Must do in the area. The lower is more stairs but has the most beautiful views . Our guide Antonio was very informative on the history , plus stopped to take your picture in fantastic places in the canyon. We went thru Ken’s tours which was very easy. PS: you have to watch which time zone your in as your phones will change between AZ time ( not on daylight savings) as Navajo time is one hour different . Your phones will ping back and forth depending on your location.
Lower Antelope Canyon tour was a highlight of our road trip, we enjoyed every minute! Our tour guide, Jordan was fantastic!
Very interesting only one hour tour, beautiful antelope canyon, the guide was very knowledgeable, friendly
This was an absolutely terrible experience. The group size and the pacing of the itinerary were highly problematic. We were originally divided into four smaller subgroups, but before we even entered Lower Antelope Canyon, the entire contingent merged into one massive group. The front and rear sections of the tour became completely jumbled together; it was impossible to tell which specific group you belonged to, and there was absolutely no physical separation between them! The narrow canyon was packed wall-to-wall with people, making the path extremely difficult to navigate. Furthermore, the tour guide constantly rushed us along. I came here to experience the beauty of the canyon, not to be herded along like livestock! This clearly demonstrates that both the tour company and the guide lacked professionalism in their itinerary planning and were incapable of organizing an orderly tour flow. Moreover, their response to my subsequent feedback was indifferent and dismissive. It felt as though their sole objective was profit, with the rights and interests of their guests taking a backseat. Once they had pocketed the money, the guests' feedback was treated as utterly worthless—as if it were nothing but hot air!
Dear customer, thanks for your feedback. We are sorry about your feeling. During peak season there are crowds of visitors coming to canyon and our role is make sure to serve every guest as best as we can. The guide will need to make sure every guest would go through the canyon smoothly. If you prefer a more leisure visit, you can select early morning tour to avoid crowds or join other canyon tours like secret canyon with a more private experience.
Shawn H was a fantastic tour guide! Full of energy and knowledge. He was also great with helping us get good photos. Antelope Canyon is one of the most amazing and special natural wonders to experience in person. Although a little pricey, it was worth it to do even once in life.
Hunter was a great guide, taking good photos of everyone.
Arron Yazzie was a great tour guide. Information was very good about area and Navajo people. He was pleasant and aware of our safety. Took great photos and helped us do the same. Pleasant and would recommend him.
