You begin your day with a scenic drive into Navajo territory. Stop for breakfast in St. George, Utah, home to the oldest continuously operating Mormon temple in the world.
As you head deeper into Navajo territory, you’ll approach the mighty Colorado River for a visit to Horseshoe Bend, where the river winds around sandstone cliffs to form a stunning horseshoe-shaped loop—an iconic sight treasured by visitors and photographers worldwide.
At Horseshoe Bend, you'll stand atop a dramatic cliff 1,000 feet above the Colorado River, taking in sweeping views of its iconic, horseshoe-shaped curve. The sheer scale and vibrant colors of the canyon walls make this one of the most breathtaking photo ops in the Southwest. It’s a moment of awe and wonder that perfectly captures the power and beauty of nature.
After lunch, you'll visit the Glen Canyon viewpoint for a final panoramic look at the stunning Southwest scenery. Then, relax as you make your return journey to Las Vegas, arriving in the evening.
Travel to the place where “the water runs through the rocks,” as described in Navajo folklore. You’ll explore the stunning Lower Antelope Canyon, where wind, water, and sand have carved surreal sandstone formations beyond words. With a local Navajo guide, you’ll journey through the canyon and witness how sunlight beams through narrow canyon walls, creating breathtaking shafts of light and unforgettable photo opportunities.

The experience was nice and I highly recommend this tour. My only disappointment was not stopping at Glen Canyon, which was on the itinerary
It was an experience that was hard to find in Japan. Vast areas of land, rock faces, and strata, just like in a movie. It was a once in a lifetime good memory. I was prepared for a long drive, but it was fairly quick to see the spectacular scenery and sleep. Each seat on the bus was plugged in, which was air-conditioned and relatively comfortable. We had a tour guide from Japan who was very reassuring and made the trip safe and comfortable. One thing to consider is that there aren't that many toilet holidays, and it's cold on the bus, so it's better to bring a jacket. Also, as a rule, bags are not allowed in Antelope Canyon, so you should wear clothes with pockets to hide valuables (I screwed my wallet and passport into my jeans. They say you're allowed to have a plastic bottle and a smartphone, but if you take anything else, they'll confiscate it....) I thought I should have brought my hat because I walked in the sun for about 10 minutes.
Once in a lifetime experience to visit Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend!! Our multilingual tour guide Rafael was detailed in describing the different spots, and we appreciated his enthusiasm! I also valued that the tour offered multilingual guides - English, Spanish, Italian, French, Japanese. 100% recommended.
Wonderful day in the Canyon
Exceptional tour! We had fun and it was a beautiful day. The guide Raphael was simply magnificent, knowledgeable, and always active, as well as very friendly and always available! Thank you
The day was perfect. All the instructions were clear and well communicated. 5-star service!!
We booked this tour in Japanese, so the guide was Japanese guy, Tomi, and he explained to us various kinds of things! Thanks, Tomi!!
I enjoyed my first time visiting the Grand Canyon! It was really interesting listening to Tomi explain various things to us in Japanese.
It was so fun and beautiful! We also could stay relax at bus.
It was awesome. Thank you Tomi! It was really good than I expected.
