Take it all in. An experience you'll never forget

This is something that has been on the bucket list for a long time and it didn't disappoint. Myself and my 17 yr old son love to kayak and hike. But this experience was more than I could have imagined. Our guide Mac was a local young man full of knowledge, stories and history. Friendlly, helpful and experienced. I would recommend water shoes or hiking sandals as the sand can get hot and you do have to walk down and back from the water. Thank you for an amazing experience, one we'll never forget 😊🌄

Thinking about this tour? DO IT!

Anyone thinking about doing this tour—do it! It’s an absolute must! Our tour guide, Mac, was incredible from start to finish. He did an amazing job putting everyone at ease, cracking jokes, sharing fascinating history about Antelope Canyon, and being there to help whenever we needed him. The canyon itself was absolutely breathtaking from within, and the water was clean and incredibly refreshing after the hike. If you don’t kayak often, I’d recommend making this your main exertion for the day, as it can definitely be a workout but it is 100% worth it! Such an incredible experience, and we’re so glad we did it!

Fun time!

This was a great kayaking and hiking experience. The water was a little choppy because of boatswain in the beginning, but once you got into the canyons, it was perfectly smooth. The hike does not go into lower or upper antelope Canyon. It does go into a Canyon Lake area. The hike was only about 30 minutes and very easy. On the way back, we stopped at a beautiful swimming spot. Our tour guide, Nolan, was a Navajo guide and incredibly informative about the area.

Operator response

Thank you so much for joining us and for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed the kayaking, hike, swimming spot, and Nolan’s knowledge of the area. Just to clarify for future guests, the hike does enter the lowest portion of Antelope Canyon from Lake Powell, rather than a separate “Canyon Lake” area. We appreciate you pointing out the calm water and beautiful scenery once inside the canyon!

An unforgettable experience!

Our kayaking and hiking tour at Lake Powell and Antelope Canyon was one of the highlights of our trip. My husband and I had an amazing time and were blown away by the incredible scenery. Kayaking through the stunning red rock formations and narrow canyon passages felt truly magical. The hiking was just as spectacular, with breathtaking views at every turn. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, making the whole experience fun, relaxing, and memorable. We felt safe and well taken care of throughout the tour.

This is such a cool...

This is such a cool experience but could be very challenging for some people, especially if you’re doing it in 100 degree weather, the guides are amazing!! Our tour guide was very tentative her name starts with B i believe but I can’t remember exactly her name, I wish I did! She really made sure that everyone was comfortable at the pace we’re going and made sure that everyone is catching up. It was hard to do at times( paddling through the channel part) but once you make it to the canyon it’s a very nice relaxing experience, and sooooooo beautiful!! Thank you so much!!!!

Operator response

We’re glad you enjoyed the incredible scenery of Antelope Canyon and that our guide made sure everyone felt comfortable and supported throughout the tour. The paddle can definitely be challenging, especially in the summer heat, but we’re happy to hear it was worth it once you reached the canyon! Thank you for choosing Red Rock Adventure Co. and for the kind words about our guide. We hope to see you again!
