The experience

The tour leaves Flagstaff and travels through Coconino National Forest and the San Francisco Volcanic Field toward the Navajo Nation. A stop at Cameron Trading Post breaks the drive and gives you a chance to use restrooms or pick up souvenirs. From there, the route heads to Horseshoe Bend, where your guide walks you down to the overlook 1,000 feet above the Colorado River: a 0.75-mile walk each way on a marked trail.

After Horseshoe Bend, you travel to Page for lunch at a local restaurant, included in the tour price. The main event is Lower Antelope Canyon, a slot canyon known for its sandstone formations and the light that filters through narrow openings above. A local Navajo guide leads your group (six to eleven other guests plus you) through the canyon for 60–75 minutes. The walk involves climbing up and down steep bolted steps and platforms on uneven ground, so you'll need sturdy shoes and the ability to handle that terrain. Each section of the canyon opens into a room with a 360-degree view of the rock walls and colors.

The vehicle is air-conditioned, and snacks, fruit, and drinks are provided during the drive. Your guide has 10+ years of experience. The total time in the vehicle, including the return to Flagstaff, is about 4.5 hours. All fees, taxes, and entrance costs are covered in the tour price.
