Your Adventure Awaits

Join a guided journey through Antelope Canyon with Navajo storytellers who share the region's rich heritage. Stroll along sandstone walls shaped by nature, and select from different canyon routes—whether you're looking for an easy stroll, something more active, or to uncover lesser-known spots.

Before You Begin

Make sure to reach your meeting point at least 30 minutes before the tour starts. Your Navajo guide will give a quick introduction and then lead you into the canyon.

Tour Highlights

Upper Antelope Canyon

This is the most popular spot, known for its dramatic light beams that shine through narrow rock formations. The wide paths make it simple to walk around with minimal effort.

Features

The flat terrain makes this section ideal for all ages and abilities. During specific hours of the day, sunlight streams into the canyon in stunning patterns—perfect for capturing photos. With more room to move, you can enjoy a relaxed pace while taking in the views.

Lower Antelope Canyon

This is where the adventure really starts with narrow trails and ladders that lead deeper into the slot canyon. The rock walls change color depending on how light hits them, creating an ever-changing landscape to explore.

Features

The tour begins by climbing down a ladder for an immediate sense of excitement. As you move through tight passageways and climb over uneven ground, the canyon reveals its natural beauty in layers. This option is best suited for those who enjoy more physical activity during their visit.

Antelope Canyon X

If you're looking to avoid crowds while still enjoying a variety of paths, this hidden gem offers both open spaces and narrower slots within the same area.

Features

The quiet atmosphere allows for more personal exploration. With fewer people around, it's easier to take your time capturing unique photos without interruptions. The canyon’s mix of wide areas and tight corridors gives a balanced experience that many find refreshing.

Ligai Si Anii Canyon

Experience something different with this intimate slot canyon known for its rare "H-shaped" rock formations, which make it stand out from the rest.

Features

The unique shape of the rocks creates a one-of-a-kind visual experience. The natural light reflects in ways that enhance textures and patterns—ideal for photography enthusiasts. Because there's less walking involved, this is great if you're looking to see something special without too much effort.

Mystical Antelope Canyon

Discover a more secluded part of the canyon with stairs, ladders, and multi-level paths that reveal hidden areas not found in other sections.

Features

The tour includes climbing steps to reach chambers you wouldn't see from the main path. The rock formations display unusual patterns that are hard to find elsewhere. This experience blends narrow slots with open spaces for a more interactive and engaging adventure.

What to Avoid During the Tour

You must not touch the sandstone walls, as they are fragile and can be damaged by oils or moisture. Hiking sticks, canes, and walkers aren't permitted inside the canyon either. Large bags, tripods, monopods, and selfie sticks should also stay behind at your accommodation. Video recording is not allowed, though photography is encouraged. Lastly, pets and animals are not welcome on this tour.

Accessibility Considerations

This activity isn't recommended for expectant mothers or anyone who might find the trail too strenuous. The path inside Antelope Canyon doesn’t accommodate wheelchairs, strollers, or prams. Anyone unable to navigate narrow sections or climb ladders should avoid booking this tour.

Important Details Before You Go

You'll need to arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time. Keep in mind that there are no restrooms available inside the canyon. Tours operate on Arizona local time, so be sure to account for any time zone differences when planning. Closed-toe shoes are a must for safety reasons. A tip of $3–$5 per person is appreciated for your Navajo guide—cash is preferred as it makes things easier.

Arrive at least 30 minutes early for check-in so you can meet your guide and get a quick orientation before heading into the canyon.

If you're visiting during busy times, consider booking your tour in advance to secure a spot and avoid last-minute disappointments.

Bring comfortable walking shoes and dress in layers since temperatures inside the canyon can be cooler than outside.

Plan to carry only small items with you—leave large bags or photography gear at home as they aren't allowed inside the canyons.

To make the most of your visit, choose a tour that matches your interests, whether it's exploring iconic light beams, adventurous paths, or hidden sections of the canyon.
