Tour Options
Itinerary
Travel through one of the most biodiverse stretch of highway from Flagstaff at 7000 feet, the Navajo Nation, and the red rocks of Glen Canyon before arriving at Horseshoe Bend
Next, it's off to Horseshoe Bend. Take an approximate 0.75-mile (1.2-km) hike that brings you to one of the best overlooks. At a point not far downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam, the Colorado River meanders around a rock promontory, creating the horseshoe-shaped loop beloved by visitors and photographers from around the world. As you approach the edge, take in the wonderful view. Please note: You'll hike a total of 2 miles (3.2 km); comfortable walking shoes are strongly recommended.
Enjoy amazing views as you enjoy a picnic lunch at Glen Canyon Dam Overlook.
At Antelope Canyon, follow your Navajo guide through a narrow slit in the earth where you’ll see the sculpted sandstone cliff. Sunlight from overhead creates shafts of light that pass into the canyon, making it even more beautiful. Descend ladders into the depths of the canyon to discover more of this serene place, and take photos with help from your guide about using the right settings on your camera for the light and the best angles for taking interesting shots. Antelope Canyon is a photographers dream.

It’s a long drive out to the canyon from Flagstaff but definitely worth it. You then walk about a mile to get to the ladders/stairs that you climb down into the canyon. The rock images are awesome and well worth the climb. Be aware you will be climbing five stories of steps descending and then also ascending. Well worth the effort!!!!! It’s gorgeous 🥰🥰🥰🥰😚😚😍
We had a wonderful time on our excursion to Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend. Rocky was our guide and he was great. He was funny, informative and very kind and friendly. And did I mention a fabulous poet, too! The ride was air conditioned and comfortable. Antelope Canyon was amazing and Horseshoe Bend a site to see. We also had a delicious picnic lunch by the 2nd largest dam in the country and Powell Lake. We had many rest stops which was very important to me and then a short stop at the Cameron Trading Post on our way back home. I would highly recommend this trip. And I can’t say enough good things about Rocky. He truly made this day trip even more worthwhile. The Coley Family
This was canceled because of rain and flooding we are pushed to Thursday.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're truly sorry your visit was impacted by flooding. Like all slot canyons in the Southwest, Antelope Canyon is subject to sudden weather conditions, and closures or disruptions are sometimes necessary to protect the safety of our guests and the guides and staff. We completely understand how disappointing it is when a trip you've been looking forward to doesn't go as planned. While weather is unfortunately beyond anyone's control, guest safety will always come first. We appreciate your understanding and hope you'll have the opportunity to experience Antelope Canyon under better conditions in the future. If there's anything we can do to answer questions about your reservation or your experience, please don't hesitate to reach out to our team directly.
Fantastic Experience! You get exactly what you sign up for and then some. Our guide Kelly was so knowledgeable about the area (geography, history). Definitely a must do!
Great experience. Scott made the tour awesome and enjoyable. Lunch was good. It’s worth every single penny. It’s a must try experience.
Great day! Our guide was wonderful! The antelope canyon did not disappoint. It was beautiful!
A fantastic day tour from start to finish. Well organized, careful attention and service, and informative along the Route. Our tour guide, Cory, took excellent care of us and provided good information, helpful hints, and Provisions
Corry was informative, prepared, and helpful. All 9 of us were taken care of and entertained. The provisions were excellent and appreciated. It was a long hot day and we had cool down time when we needed it and bathroom stops often enough for the older crowd!
Wow just wow!!!! What a wonderful first time being to the Grand Canyon for the three of us!! Very very memorable for sure!!! Alex and Corry both were absolutely wonderful! Alex we did Antelope canyon, horseshoe bend even some other bonuses. So absolutely wonderful and so worth the tour! Alex was great telling us all kinds of details and tidbits. Was attentive to all of us! Lunch was stupendous with plenty of snacks water and soda if you prefer. We did bring extra 3 waters which we could refill with the cooler of just water they had. Corry we had the following day for the Grand Canyon and several extras as well. He was also very detailed and kept us from crowded areas to make sure we had great views for Grand Canyon! He even had a telescope too attach to his phone to show us rafters and kayakers in the waters of the Colorado. The gift shop they both took is to was absolutely great!! Lunch was spot on yet again. We did bring our water bottles that were insulated to keep water cold. The difference of heat and winds was crazy but tolerable and Corry had van open and ready when we got back! Thank you so much from the 3 of us!! Keep doing what you’re doing boys!!
Our driver/tour guide Rocky was excellent! Quite the drive to get where we were headed but Rocky kept the travel time interesting, all sorts of info and personal insight. Northern Arizona is quite the package and arriving at Antelope Canyon was the cherry on top of the sundae. Never have I seen such beauty and wonder up close. Antelope Canyon is a must see (the guides are excellent). Horseshoe did not disappoint; more of nature's beauty. Take this tour (with this company) and you will not be disappointed. Two-thumbs up, Roger!
