Itinerary
Lake Powell is a stunning desert reservoir known for its crystal-clear waters, towering red rock canyon walls, and hidden coves carved over millions of years. This is where your paddling adventure begins, launching into calm waters surrounded by dramatic scenery as you set off to explore one of the most iconic and picturesque landscapes in the Southwest.
Water Antelope Canyon is a stunning slot canyon accessible only by boat, offering a unique and intimate way to experience its sculpted sandstone walls and vibrant colors. During the tour, guests will hike through the canyon alongside a knowledgeable guide, who will share insights about the area’s geology, history, and Navajo culture while leading the way through this truly unforgettable landscape. This hidden section of Antelope Canyon offers a quieter, more immersive experience than the land-based canyons. Its unique perspective from the water makes it a truly unforgettable destination for exploration and photography.
Lake Powell’s expansive blue waters and towering red rock scenery provide a relaxing and scenic return journey as we head back across the lake to the original launch point. This final stretch on the water offers time to take in the sweeping views, reflect on the canyon experience, and enjoy a smooth cruise back as the tour comes to a close.

This excursion was fun. It does require a lot of upper body strength to kayak! But the views are some you’ll never see anywhere else. Laura was amazing! She’s a great guide and very knowledgeable about the canyon ! Also she is very nice 💜
Our guide Skylar was Great! Overall was an amazing experience. Only complaint was launch point was very steep hill to carry a kayak down.
Was an amazing tour, our guide Skylar was great! Only complaint was the launch point was a little rough very steep hill to carry a kayak down but overall an amazing experience.
so beautiful! Great company with great communication. Our tour guide Laura was the sweetest! High recommendation for this company
I feel like the experience could have went better. Our tour guide was aware that there would be weather conditions and still allowed us to do the kayaking rather than doing the first part of kayaking and hiking on the canyon AND then head back to where we first came from. The weather started to get rough when we were in the water and it was hard to kayak through the wind going against us. My brother fell off his kayak and it took time for someone to actually help him. Thankfully he knew how to swim and we got life jackets. Second, our tour guide said he would come back for my parents who were also doing the kayaking and NEVER came back for them. Thankfully, we were a bit behind them so we were able to tell them to turn back around. I can’t imagine how long they would be waiting if we weren’t there. Finally, another tour company helped us get on a boat and got us back to our original standpoint. I found this to be very unprofessional on the tour guides itself and the kayak boats didn’t have any sort of drain plug attached for if water needs to be drained from the inside of the boat. This was very unprofessional as this was our first time.
It was definitely a adventure! Beautiful views, perfect weather for swimming! Some of the kayaks and life jackets could be in better condition . Laura our tour guide was absolutely amazing , very nice , professional and patient not only for the kids but also for adults! It was so nice to spend time with her ! Thank You Laura for having us and doing absolutely amazing job !
Everything that could’ve went wrong happened. But my guide Mike was sent from heaven. He went above and beyond to make sure I got the full experience of the tour. Could go into more details but he actually saved my life.
The tour was absolutely wonderful. The views were stunning and the kayaking was so much fun. Our guide, Craig, was absolutely brilliant; he really knew his stuff about the canyon and was so kind and patient. 10/10 would recommend!
Today we did the Antelope Kayak Tour in Lake Powell. The view was amazing and we even got an extra hike to get a sneak peek into the start of The Narrows. Our tour guide Michael was very nice and had a lot to tell us about the canyon during the trip. He let us swim twice to cool off and relax, since the weather was quite hot. We definitely recommend this tour for anyone who likes to go on an active adventure and see some parts of the USA that many visitors don't.
Laura Whipple was an incredible guide for our Lake Powell kayak tour! She was knowledgeable, personable, and clearly very experienced, making the entire adventure fun and relaxing. She went above and beyond by taking tons of amazing photos of our family so we could stay in the moment and enjoy the experience. Her enthusiasm and local knowledge made the tour so much more memorable. If you’re kayaking in Page, AZ, definitely request Laura—you won’t be disappointed!
