Glen Canyon Dam cruise from Page: Scenic Wahweap Bay tour

Watch the second-largest concrete arch dam rise from the water

A 90-minute boat cruise from Page, Arizona through Wahweap Bay to Glen Canyon Dam, the second-largest concrete arch dam in the United States. The route passes through Antelope Canyon, where towering Navajo Sandstone formations in red and burnt orange line the water for roughly 4 miles before the canyon narrows. A live English-speaking guide narrates the journey while complimentary water, coffee and lemonade are served on board.

The experience

The boat departs Page and heads into Wahweap Bay, where the canyon walls begin to close in. Antelope Canyon unfolds over the next stretch: over 10 miles long in total, though you'll see approximately 4 miles of the canyon wall from the water before it narrows too much to continue. The Navajo Sandstone formations rise in shades of red and burnt orange, shaped by the Colorado River and Lake Powell's waters.

Glen Canyon Dam appears as the boat approaches the end of the route. At 710 feet tall, it's the second-largest concrete arch dam in the United States, and the scale becomes clear only when you're on the water looking up at it. The guide provides context and history throughout the cruise, and the boat carries restrooms for the full 90 minutes on the water.
