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 5 on their tours. Also, wheelchairs and strollers are not allowed due to the difficulty of maneuvering these devices through potentially deep sand.
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’m going to be booking a lower canyon tour for January 26th for 4 people. There’s an additional person that may be visiting Arizona but hasn’t been confirmed to us yet. If I book a tour for 4 and we need to book another person at a later date and there aren’t any spots left on that tour, is it possible for you to add an extra person on that tour? We’d like to book very soon for the 4 of us but don’t want the 5th person left out if the tours are full when we know if the 5th person is coming or not.
Thanks for your help!
Hey Kristen!
If there’s a possibility you will be a group of 5 instead of 4, what I would do is go ahead and book space for 5. Should your friend/loved one decide not to join you on the tour, you can cancel their space and receive a full refund for their ticket as long as you cancel at least 72 hours prior to your tour.
Long story short, it’s easier to reduce the number of people after the fact than it is to add them on last minute.
Hope that helps. Please contact us at reservations@antelopecanyon.az if you have further questions.
Good luck and safe travels,
Alley 🙂
