The Antelope Canyons have fast risen to Top 5 status among the Page, Arizona area’s “must do” activities. You are required to tour them with a Navajo Tribe-authorized guide service, and advance reservations are an absolute must! Why You Should Book In Advance…
So where does one start? To book a tour for Antelope Canyon, you must first decide whether you want to tour Lower or Upper Antelope Canyon, or both.
Upper Antelope Canyon is an above-ground slot canyon. It’s an easy, flat 100 yard walk, following a 2-mile off-road ride from the Navajo Tribal Park Gate on US98 to the canyon’s entrance. Upper Antelope Canyon is also where you can catch those world-famous sunbeams between the spring and fall months, but only during peak time tours. If you are traveling with infants, young children, seniors, or anyone with mobility limitations, Upper Antelope Canyon would be the best choice for your slot canyon touring experience, however, only 3 of the 5 Upper Antelope Canyon tour operators allow children under 6 on their tours. Also, wheelchairs and strollers are not allowed due to the difficulty of maneuvering these devices through potentially deep sand and the newly installed network of walkways from the exit of the canyon back to the tour vehicle parking area.
Lower Antelope Canyon is a longer slot canyon (~600 yards), situated below-ground. Touring it requires descending and ascending a series of ladders, and stepping over a few boulders. Access to the canyon is directly from the Tribal Park Gate on US98. If everyone in your traveling party is in reasonably good health and can handle moderate exercise, you should be fine in Lower Antelope Canyon. Although infants and younger children are allowed on Lower Antelope Canyon tours, parents should consider carefully whether this would be an appropriate or safe activity. Although backpack and chest child carriers are allowed, low rock ledges and other hazards could detract from the enjoyment of this experience for all concerned. Consider these facts carefully before booking a tour of Lower Antelope Canyon with your baby or toddler.

Is there any way to speak with someone about booking, or is this the only form of communication?
My problem is we want to do upper and lower it looks like the lower only shows 1 left for many of the times. With not being from the area I see a lot of other sites to get the lower from but not sure who is legit to purchase from. I would like to still get the upper from you guys but not sure if there is recommendations for the lower since your sold out.
Hi Jenifer,
Apologies for the delay in response to your inquiry.
There are two companies who offer Lower Antelope Canyon tours:
– Dixie Ellis’ Antelope Lower Canyon Tours http://www.antelopelowercanyon.com 928-640-1761
– Ken’s Lower Antelope Canyon Tours http://www.lowerantelope.com 928-645-6997
If you find that tours are sold out on either site, you might consider visiting one of several alternate slot canyons in the local area that are just as beautiful, but may still have availability on your desired date. These include but are not limited to:
– Antelope Canyon X, a very scenic two-part slot canyon bearing similarities to both Upper AND Lower https://bit.ly/Antelope-Canyon-X
– Waterholes Canyon, located approximately 8 miles South of Page, AZ https://waterholecanyonexperience.com/
– Antelope Valley Canyons, including Ligai Si Anii, Wind Pebble, Ram’s Head, and Deer Canyons, located in LeChee, AZ, approximately 30 minutes Southeast of Page, AZ https://antelopecanyon.az/antelope-canyon-valley-tours/
Good luck and safe travels,

I am planning to visit Upper Antelope Canyon with my wife and 2 year old daughter on 23rd Dec. When I am trying to select the ticket, it says no children ages 0-5 years. Could you please confirm if my 2 year old daughter will be allowed for the tour and do I need to book the ticket for her as well ?
Hi Abhishek,
Chief Tsosie’s Antelope Slot Canyon Tours is our preferred partner for Upper Antelope Canyon Tours. They have opted not to allow children under the age of 6 on their tours, as does Adventurous Antelope Canyon Tours.
The good news is there are three (3) other companies in Page, AZ, that tour Upper Antelope Canyon and they welcome children of all ages.
For availability, please visit:
– Antelope Canyon Navajo Tours http://www.navajotours.com 928-698-3384
– Roger Ekis’ Antelope Canyon Tours http://www.antelopecanyon.com 928-645-9102

Hello may I be added to this list as well? For 2025 bookings?
Hi Chante,
Done 🙂

Hello. Are knee scooter allowed in the lower antelope? thanks.
Hi Gerry,
Sorry, but that’s a hard no, not just in Lower, but in all of the Antelope Canyons.
Lower Antelope Canyon requires descending the equivalent of 5 flights of stairs to enter, and a similar incline for egress. Plus there’s also some light boulder scrambling and a few smaller ladders to manage once you are within the canyon. Watch this full walk-through video to see what I’m referring to.
Other branches of Antelope Canyon, such as Upper, may offer up flatter terrain, but mobility aids such as wheelchairs, strollers, scooters, etc., remain forbidden due to sand and other obstacles which may hinder operation of your device.
If a walking tour is out of the question, consider an Antelope Canyon Boat Tour on Lake Powell. For more information on these, contact Antelope Point Marina at 928-645-5900 or visit http://www.AntelopePointLakePowell.com
Good luck and safe travels,
Alley 🙂
Hello! I was reading the comments and thought the tours were available now, but I see it is just November and December. Could you please place me on the list for booking. I am opening to a time. We just want to go. Can you please advise, do you have a rainy season in the winter and when is a less crowded time? I want to do both and I saw very detailed answers, so I will read through those so you don’t have to resend. Thank you for your help!

If you’re wanting to visit when the weather is best, late September through early October feature mostly sunny conditions, not too warm with a very low likelihood of rain or snow.
Hope that helps! Feel free to contact us with any questions you might have at reservations@antelopecanyon.az

Hello I’m trying to book the Upper and Lower for Dec this year however not sure what times to pick since it has you book them separate, and it also looks like it has you pay separate? Is there something I’m missing on booking this together?
Hi Jenifer,
Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon tours must be booked and paid for separately at this time.
The key to making both Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon tours work on the same day is having at least a 60-90 minute “buffer” between the conclusion of one tour, and the check-in time for the other.
For example, the 8.15 AM Upper Antelope Canyon tour (check-in 7.30 am) would conclude at around 9.45 AM. That would give you only 15 minutes to transition to the 10.45 AM Lower Antelope Canyon tour, which would require check-in at 10.00 AM. That’s not much time, and should the Upper tour run late for any reason, you would risk being late for the check-in for Lower and forfeiting your spot on the tour, not to mention what you paid for your tickets. A better choice would be the 11.45 AM Lower Antelope Canyon tour, which requires that you check-in at 11:00 AM. That gives you 1 hour and 15 minutes from when the 8.15 am tour of Upper Antelope wraps up, during which you could grab a bite to eat, freshen up a bit, or do a little shopping.
Another option would be to take the 10.45 Lower Canyon tour, which requires check-in at 10.00 AM, and would conclude at approximately 12:15 PM. The 2:30 PM Upper Antelope Canyon would require you to check-in at 1:45 PM, which would give you 90 minutes to transition from the Lower Antelope Canyon site to downtown Page, AZ.
Check-in for the Upper Antelope Canyon tour takes place at Chief Tsosie’s storefront at 55 S. Lake Powell Boulevard in downtown Page, AZ. Dixie’s Lower Antelope Canyon Tours check-in is at the Lower Antelope Canyon site itself, which is about 20 minutes Southeast of the town of Page, AZ. To compare side-by-side availability on your desired date, visit AntelopeCanyon.AZ: Upper & Lower Antelope Canyons
Hope that helps! Please contact us directly at reservations@antelopecanyon.az if you have further questions.
Good luck and safe travels,
Alley 🙂
