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.

I have a group of 12 who want to visit Lower canyon. On the official site it says the timeslot I want is sold out. You are showing availability for August 21. If I book through you, do I just show up to Dixie’s or Ken’s and show them a confirmation from you?
Hi Elaine,
I have replied to your inquiry via our company email, reservations@antelopecanyon.az

Hello, My name is Yuki.I am planning a trip from Japan to the United States, and I am planning to book a tour of Antelope.I would like to join the tour at 8:15 AM on July 28th, but I saw on the reservation page that the maximum number of participants is 20.We are a group of 21 people who wish to participate.Therefore, I would like to book an additional spot for one more person. Is this possible? Or, is the limit strictly 20 people, making it difficult to accommodate more participants?I apologize for the sudden question. I would appreciate your response.
Hi Yuku,
Group size on Antelope Canyon tours is allowed to exceed 20 people.
Assuming you are trying to book Upper Antelope Canyon at 8.15 on July 28, only being able to book 20 means that time slot only has that many seats left.
You might look at another day or time slot to see if they can accommodate all 21 of you.
Another option would be to check with a different tour company. There are 5 tour companies that go to Upper Antelope Canyon. Our preferred partner is Tsosie’s Upper Antelope Canyon Tours, who can be reached by email at chieftsosie@yahoo.com or by phone at 928-645-5594.

Thank you for your response.
I understand that only reservations for 20 people can be accepted.
We have finalized our group to 20 people, so we have made the reservation.
Thank you for the information.
Hi Yuki,
If your group still has 21 people, you might try contacting the tour company directly in the week leading up to your actual tour date to see if they have any last minute openings.
Thank you,

Hi,
I’m planning to book the “Antelope Canyon Kayak + HIKE Tour” but I would like to know which canyon is included.
Is it the Lower one? in this case, is it possible to have the hike tour at 10:45 am to have the best sun light and then the kayak?
thanks
Luca
Hi Luca,
The Antelope Canyon Kayak & Hiking Tour covers the section of Antelope Canyon just below Lower Antelope, which funnels into Lake Powell. Since it is a package, the tour company determines what time your trip takes place.
Hope that helps.
Good luck and safe travels,
Alley 🙂
Why are there time available on this site for certain tours and when you go to the tour site directly, those times aren’t available?
Hi Laura,
As an authorized affiliate reseller for Dixie’s Lower Antelope Canyon Tours and Chief Tsosie’s Upper Antelope Canyon Tours, we are granted blocks of seats at select times of the day. Often times, when the tour company’s bookings for a certain time slot are sold out, you can still find seats with a company such as ours. Rest assured, though, you will still be served by a tour company licensed by the Navajo Tribe to offer tours into the Antelope Canyons.
Hope that helps. If you have any questions, please contact us at reservations@antelopecanyon.az
Good luck and safe travels,
Alley 🙂
Good Morning,

Thank you,

Hi Jessica,
Please contact Chief Tsosie’s Antelope Slot Canyon Tours at 928-645-5594.

Would I be able to take the Upper Antelope tour at 8:15am and the Lower tour at 10:45am on the same day????
Hi William,
We wouldn’t advise that.
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.
The 8.15 AM Upper Antelope Canyon tour (check-in 7.30-45 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.
Hope that helps. Please contact us at reservations@antelopecanyon.az if you have further questions.
Good luck and safe travels,
Alley 🙂
