Stopped to take this picture on highway and ended up taking the tour
Victor M.

After spending the night in Canyon De Chelly we decided to stop here on our way to Page, Arizona and the of May was a great time to tour these Red Sandstone walls carved by water that in time ended up shaping these incredible and picturesque formations in Navajo Nation. Our tour guide was a Navajo older and very friendly lady that did an excellent job, she not only gave a good explanation on the history of the Canyon and took some great pictures of us but also gave me a lecture on photography. It was a 10 minute ride from the place where you buy the tickets to where you meet your guide and from there the whole adventure is under a mile at an elevation of about 4K feet. Natural wonder not to be missed when in the area. Tickets were 55 per person and the whole tour took about 90 minutes. The place is managed by TAADIDIIN TOURS Internet is very spotty throughout Arizona, Utah and Colorado.

From inside the slot canyon.

This was a great experience and our guide was knowledgeable and fun. We took so many amazing photos.

Photos are all taken from an upper caynon tour. Check time if year for best view - you'd need sunlight. Highly recommend a tour by the Najavo Nation people. They are knowledgeable and proud to share their culture

Upper antelope canyon was beautiful. Book your tour way in advance and try to book a noon tour so the light hits the canyon at the right time. Regardless of which company you choose, either be way in the front of your tour or hang to the back to try to get some pictures without people

Definitely worth visiting, but your experience will vary based on a number of factors: -Time of year- Apparently there is a good and bad time to go. When it's good, you get the crazy awesome light you see in every photo. When it's bad, that's much harder to come by and parts are very dark. I believe late spring/summer/late summer is best. We JUST missed late summer, so we didn't get that crazy light, though we definitely got some good views. -Tour- Our tour (Tse) was fine. Our guide was much more interested in photography and all of our phone settings than the history of the canyon, so I ended up listening to other guides for most of that information. -Price- This also depends on the time of year, I guess. Bottom line, it's definitely not cheap in any season. Definitely worth going, but be aware of the above when you plan your visit.

Loose Canyon Slot canyon that's comprised of Navajo Sandstone that makes for some of the most spectacular rock formations on earth. The area is in Navajo Nation, and the only way to visit the canyon in person is to book a tour through one of the approved Navajo-owned and operated tour companies. The Good: *The canyon really is quite spectacular and definitely worth the money (if you can afford it, of course). *Our tour guide (I forget her name) was from Antelope Canyon Tours, and she was really nice and helpful with camera tips. It also turns out she was a San José native at one time! #SmallWorld *The trail (if you can call it that) thru the canyon is very short and flat, so feel free to bring your old, young, and achy--they should all be fine. The Meh: *The ride out there and back is dusty and bumpy and really not that fun. *Pricing is a bit obscene for what it is; at the time of our visit (Oct '19), it was ±$60** (including taxes, fees, etc.) but looking right now the price has jumped almost 45% to a whopping $90/per. *Make sure you make a reservation. Do not show up a few minutes before a tour and assume they'll have room for you. There is a slight off chance someone might no show, but don't count on it. The Ugly: *BE AWARE OF THE TIME TO ARRIVE. This seems simple enough, but you must remember that depending on the time of year and where you're coming from, you could be an hour off one way or another. While the state of AZ doesn't adhere to DST (Daylight Savings Time)--Navajo Nation DOES! But the tours run on ***AZ time*** and ***not*** Navajo Nation time, so you can't really rely on your phone for time. Your head spinning yet?? 0_o The easy fix is to switch your phone off automatic time zone and change your location to Phoenix, and you should be all good. TLDR: Fantastic views but at a price. **Pricing is for 8+ years of age. There's a slight discount for 7 or younger

The canyon itself, in all its natural, mysterious phenomena is breathtaking. I could stand for hours and marvel at its beauty, but unfortunately, you're on a tour and time is limited and hurried. You cannot prance into this place willynilly. It is on Navajo land and access is only granted via an official, licensed Navajo guide or touring company. I'll save my thoughts about that for the company review and focus solely on this canyon. Unlike the Lower Canyon, the Upper Canyon required no steps to access it (although there are steps outside when returning to the touring van/jeep). Be sure to follow your guide's tips for getting the best photos. It was cooler in the canyon but not cool enough to need a jacket. The ground can be muddy so wear shoes accordingly. The canyon is really a quick run through. You could probably run through the entire thing in under a minute, but stoping to look up and around in admiration is what we came for, and that takes time. Again, the only downside is that your time is hurried because you're in a group and they're trying to move along because groups are right in front and behind you (they pack them so close together!).

Absolutely beautiful and gorgeous Slot Canyon I'm glad that we selected the upper Antelope Canyon. It was less crowded in March last week and perfect weather. we had beautiful views and mesmerizing. It was a great experience. I will definitely do it again.

Absolutely beautiful and a great experience to see the slot canyon. It is a crowded and popular tour, but we had plenty of photo opportunities and they spaced out the groups enough to see the beauty of it all without being too close to too many people.

Kaori M.

This is indeed a wonderful place. I like the idea going with Navajo guide so that this canyon is protected by any vandalism etc. Tour itself was good and the guide was nice. Only thing is I wish the tour was more focused on admiring the nature rather than taking picture: seeing canyon through phone to take picture.

The state of Utah need to make some changes soon because coming from a place where they have learned to live with the existence of Covid, it's quite frustrating to find a lot still closed in April 2021. Not only that, Utah is also very dog unfriendly while I have a hypo allergenic little dog. Colorado and Nevada is so different in that. A lot of driving to find places like this closed and if they are open not dog friendly. I think they just want influencers here.

The Antelope Canyon originally is a place for Navajo people to meditate and a holy place to communicate with the gods of heaven and earth. The tour guides are from the Navajo tribe, and they have accompanied and disciplined with achieved photographers for many years, they become master of lights in the cave or canyon. The name of Antelope Canyon is actually a mistake. The bighorn goat was mistaken for an antelope, hence the name. The beauty of Antelope Valley is that it is lighted completely by natural light, which outlines beautiful curves, and the scenery changes around clock in a day and throughout the year. The Upper Antelope Canyon looks just a crack in the stone from the outside. The our tour guide Aberton is professional to guide tourists to use lights and to find natural beauty. Without Aberton's guidance, many beautiful views would not be seen at all. I followed Aberton's guidance trying to shoot pictures in his direction and angle.

Tour all in all was about 90 mins. Our guide was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable about the history of antelope canyon. We went early March and scheduled at 10 am tour time and we got awesome pictures and lightening!

We spent just over a full day/ 30 hrs in Page, AZ to experience four-wheeling, kayaking, Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend. The first day we got into Page, it was about 2pm and we spontaneously joined fun atv drive around parts of the Grand Canyon exploring some spectacular views and drive. There had even been pockets of snow still on the ground in April 2024. Completed Kayaking and seeing Antelope Canyon the 1st morning/afternoon in Page,AZ. It's an amazing. and a perfect way to end the first day with a sunset hike. Wanted to enjoy a sunset hike to Horseshoe Bend and I highly recommend the trip here to experience if. We headed to Horseshoe Bend before sunset and while it was getting crowded we still got some quiet time to just be in awe of nature and all its awesomeness. Horseshoe Bend could be done in about 2 hrs. Just depends on how long you'd like to stay to take in the views. Parking is at the entrance and the trek to the bend is not a difficult one. Just follow the crowds. Enjoyed some delicious bbq and live music that evening before our last night and then returning to California early next morning.

Spoke to Lisa and Ashley and they got me squared right away. They explained everything with no rush and gave local recommendations to the town. As a first timer to the lake, my partner and I did the mistake to start kayaking from the Wahweap Marina (BIG MISTAKE!!) to the Antelope Canyon and man did we regret it!! lol Please, please, please start your kayaking from where they recommend, the Antelope Point Launch!! We ended up doing a 20 mile (9 hour!) kayak trip around the entire Antelope Island! We were exhausted, but feeling safe around many boats, we decided to push to the end and luckily we made it! There is a small channel short cut at the north end of the Antelope Canyon to the Wahweap Marina side of the lake. We called the kayak office (while in the middle of the water!) and explained our situation, they totally understood and so we arranged to drop off the kayak the next morning. Long story short, life happens with new kayakers and this company truly cares and listens. I never write long reviews, but they deserve all the praise and a 5 out of 5 stars. Thanks for everything!

The day before our tour, Julia called to let us know strong headwinds were expected and asked if we wanted to adjust our time. We already had a different morning tour scheduled, and they were incredibly accommodating with our plans. At the launch site, we met our guide Logan, and we were lucky that it was just our family of four on this tour. Husband and I wore aqua shoes and my daughters opted to wear their Birkenstock sandals and go barefoot, which was fine if you're okay with getting red mud on them. Logan was friendly, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. I was a bit nervous since I'm a beginner kayaker, but he let us move at our own pace. It ended up being a great workout while still feeling peaceful and relaxing. The scenery was absolutely stunning. The canyon was quiet, beautiful, and not crowded at all. We paddled across Lake Powell and into the canyon, and the cool lake water felt amazing in the warm end-of-March weather (mid-80s). They provided life jackets, offered bottled water, and Logan even took photos of us both on the water and at the end of the canyon, which we really appreciated. He also shared helpful paddling tips along the way. The entire tour lasted about 2.5-3 hours and was a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Highly recommend for families and beginners looking for a scenic and well-guided kayaking experience!

There are several different ways you can check out Lake Powell. One option is to see it from afar from atop cliffs and overlooks in Glen Canyon Park. This provides scenic views of the beautiful lake. Another option is to actually see the Lake up close and personal. There are several spots where you can do that. I decided to make the short drive into Utah to see it from Lone Rock. You have to drive through some rocky/sandy terrain so me careful to follow the path (unless you're in a car with four-wheel drive). Once you get closer to the beach, you will reach a sandy area. Do not drive through it. You'll see cars and RVs parked right where the terrain changes for good reason. Unless you have the proper vehicle, you'll get stuck in the sand. I saw it happen. That will ruin your day. There are even warning signs about this. Once we parked our rental, we walked to the shoreline. I dipped my toes in the water, a bit cold but pleasant. It's a great place to just relax and take in the beauty of your surroundings. The Lake is also a popular spot to rent boats. While I didn't do this, it is a popular activity. A must-visit while in Page!
