The experience

The tour starts with a three-mile drive on Highway 89 from Page, then branches onto a six-mile off-road route through sandy washes and rolling hills toward Lake Powell. The vehicle (either a shaded open-air 4x4 truck or an enclosed van, depending on availability) carries the group to the entrance of Secret Antelope Canyon, one of the longest slot canyons on the Navajo Nation. A 300-meter walk leads into the canyon itself, where you have up to an hour to move through the narrow passages and photograph the light and stone without the crowds that pack Upper and Lower Antelope.

After the canyon, the tour heads to Horseshoe Bend overlook on Navajo land, accessed by a private dirt road that bypasses the congested National Park Service parking lot. The walk from the vehicle to the rim is less than 100 meters. From there, you can stroll along the edge of a 1000-foot drop and watch the Colorado River loop around a rock promontory in the shape that made the bend famous. The overlook portion lasts roughly an hour and gives you multiple angles and vantage points for photography without the density of the main viewing area.

The whole outing runs three hours and returns to the office near Antelope Canyon in Page. Small group size (twelve or fewer) means the pace stays manageable and the guide can answer questions as you move through each stop.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. No refund if you cancel.

How long is the walk inside Secret Antelope Canyon?

Secret Antelope Canyon involves a 300-meter walk to the entrance, then you have up to an hour to move through the slot canyon itself at your own pace before returning to the vehicle.

What's the difference between this tour and the crowded Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon tours?

Secret Antelope Canyon is part of the same Lake Powell system but stays far less crowded because group sizes are limited to a fraction of what the other two canyons handle, and it's still relatively undiscovered.

Do I have to walk far to reach Horseshoe Bend overlook?

Horseshoe Bend overlook is less than 100 meters from where the vehicle stops on the private Navajo land road, so the walk is short compared to the main National Park Service viewing area.

What kind of vehicle will I ride in?

Transport is either a shaded open-air 4x4 tour truck or an enclosed van, based on availability: the operator confirms which one at booking.

Is this tour suitable for families with young children?

The tour works well for families, though children under age 6 are not permitted on this particular tour.

What does the guide provide during the tour?

A Navajo guide leads the tour in English and provides commentary throughout both the canyon and overlook portions.
