Good trip

Good experience overall. Kayaking is long almost 4 miles so be prepared and its not one way its both way you need to Kayak. So have enough water and make sure you wear full clothes to avoid sunburns.

Fun and challenging afternoon of kayaking and hiking!

While we enjoyed this experience, I can’t say that I would do it again and I would only recommend it to those that are capable of walking in sand and stone. First we had trouble finding the meeting point… the directions did mot take us to it. We had to stop at another point in the park and ask. Secondly, we had to walk down a steep sand and rocky hill ( and back up at the end) that had we not been in decent shape, I am not sure we would have been capable. The kayaking was work but it was fun too. The water was rough the day we went because it was a holiday weekend and there were many boats out. So there were some decent waves. Once we got to Antelope canyon, the water was calm and it was quiet and peaceful on our way back to the landing. The hike was mostly easy except for a couple of areas where recent flooding washed away the sand and left significant changes in the unevenness of the floor of the canyon, having to climb up or down. The walls of the canyon were beautiful. Our guide was somewhat knowledgeable about the canyon and history. I personally would have liked to learn more about the Navajo people who owned the land. Bring a water protectant carrier for your phone so you can take pictures, I would wore hiking sandals and recommend them or socks and shoes (knowing they will get wet). Also bring plenty of water (2L at least) and snacks as you are working much of the experience and it is a long 4 hours. Bring sunscreen as well! Be prepared to get wet. There are bathrooms at the dock but not a great place to change clothing. Wet bags and life jackets were provided. Again, we enjoyed the experience but I doubt I would do it again.

5/5 Stars – Incredible Experience with local guide Logan!

We had an amazing kayaking and hiking tour of Antelope Canyon with Red Rock! The canyon views from the water and on foot are absolutely stunning, but what really made the trip stand out was our guide, Logan. Logan actually grew up in the area, and it shows. His local knowledge and insights added so much depth to the trip, and he went above and beyond to make sure everyone in the group was safe, comfortable, and well taken care of throughout the entire excursion. A couple of quick tips for anyone thinking about booking: * Prepare for the heat: It gets extremely hot out on the water and in the canyon, so bring plenty of water, sun protection, and proper gear. * Experience helps: While it’s manageable, having some prior kayaking experience is definitely helpful to fully enjoy the paddling portion of the trip. Overall, an unforgettable adventure. I highly recommend booking with Red Rock—and ask for Logan if you can!

First-Time Kayaking Experience!

We had an absolute blast on the Antelope Canyon Kayaking, Hiking, and Swimming Tour! It was our very first time kayaking, but our guide, Cameron, made us feel completely comfortable and at ease from the start. Cameron was exceptionally professional, attentive, and helpful throughout the entire trip. He shared so many fascinating facts about the hidden sections of Antelope Canyon. We never felt rushed; he gave us plenty of time to paddle at our own pace and enjoy a wonderful, refreshing swim in Lake Powell. If you are thinking about taking this tour, do not hesitate—and ask for Cameron if you can! We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable adventure.

Fun day

While it was worth it to you have the kayaks there and have some help getting them to the water, it was less of a guide and more of a rental for us. That said, we had fun and it was nice to have access to antelope Canyon, which was very beautiful

What a great experience, I have always wanted to raft the Colorado river and kayaking and hiking was even better. Would love to do an overnight or 2 day trip. I believe Cameron was our guide and very informative. Thanks for a great time. Will be doing this again!
