The experience

The Colorado River's horseshoe-shaped bend near Page is the first stop: a natural meander carved through red-hued sandstone cliffs that took millions of years to form. From there, the tour moves to Lake Powell, a large reservoir known for its crystal-clear waters and scenic canyons on the Arizona-Utah border. The day ends at Lower Antelope Canyon, a slot canyon with narrow passageways and surreal rock formations shaped by water and wind.

Bottled water is provided throughout the day. The tour covers all fees and taxes, so there are no surprises at the end. Pickup and drop-off at your accommodation or airport are included.
