Ryan was awesome. He’s young but a very good guide already. We enjoyed the tour which included his beautiful Native Indian Flute performance. The canyons were beautiful especially the second canyon.
Guide was the best, informative, educational, and entertaining
Really unique experience. We loved that it was a small group and felt way more personal than Antelope Canyon. The canyons are beautiful and our guide Ryan was great. Would absolutely recommend.
The company teamwork is super nice, they helped us with every doubt we could have. We took the tour at 11 am with Ryan. He is the best! He explained us everything about the canyons and we had a great time. We drove all our way from Las Vegas to get there and it was totally worth it!
This morning, my family and I visited Waterhole Canyon, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our Navajo guide, Ryan, took us through absolutely empty canyons, allowing us to enjoy the incredible feeling of having such a spectacular place all to ourselves. Ryan was outstanding. I have traveled a lot, but he taught us so much about Navajo life, the local wildlife and nature, and even played two different handmade flutes for us. It was truly special. A perfect 10 for our guide. Thank you so much, Ryan, and best of luck with your nursing studies. You can clearly see that he is a wonderful young man!
Awesome! Such a different guided tour from the Upper Antelope Canyon tour. Just the five people in our party had the hole tour/canyon to ourselves. No having to rush to get thru with photos and our guides was the BEST! Lydell, thanks for the amazing gift you gave us by sharing your land, your heritage and your culture. The music you played while we squeezed our way through the canyon made the experience even that much more magical. He took amazing photos of us all along the way and never got tired of us handing him another phone. We even got to see a great horned owl fly over our heads. I think we even preferred this tour over the Upper Canyon tour. Do it, if given the chance!
We had the best tour! It was just us and it was very beautiful! highly recommend!! 5 star for sure!
Absolutely loved our tour with Waterhole Canyon Experience. We had the tour and canyon all to ourselves - just our family of 4. It was beautiful, unique, and peaceful. Our guide, Lydell, was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. He took great family photos for us too. Highly recommend this over more popular and over-crowded canyons. This tour was my family's favorite experience in a 2 week tour of the southwest. With two teenage boys who are not typically fans of hiking, this says a lot!
JUST GO! What an incredible experience with Waterhole Canyon (WCE). We did a lot of research for the different tours in the slot canyons and decided to book this incredible tour with WCE.. Our tour guide Brian, took his time, shared his knowledge, beauty, passion and history of this sacred slot canyon. What gorgeous photos and amazing tour....
Started tour at 9am. Me, guide and a couple from Texas. Awesome hike into the slot. Not being as crowded as Antelope Tours our guide gave personal attention to us providing interesting stories and helped with photography settings. Would highly recommend!
