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.

Hi Alley.
We are staying in Page and would like to visit Upper, Lower Canyon and also visit Horseshoe Bend.
We were thinking of splitting Lower Canyon and Horseshoe Bend on the day we arrive and Upper Canyon next day morning.
Is there a way for us to drive our self and purchase entrance fee and guided tour without local transportation or guided tour booking?
Hey Sam,
Your trip plan is feasible, and you are welcome to self-drive to the Antelope Canyon entrances and take your Antelope Canyon tours from there.
However, a guided tour is 100% mandatory for both segments of the canyon since they are on Navajo Indian Land.
For Upper Antelope Canyon, there are 3 companies that depart directly from the Navajo Tribal Park Entrance on US98
– Antelope Canyon Navajo Tours, 928-698-3384 https://navajotours.com
– Adventurous Antelope Canyon Photo Tours, (928) 614-4919 or (928) 640-6808, https://www.navajoantelopecanyon.com/
– Tse Bighanilini Tours, (928) 310-9458, http://www.tsebighanilini.com
For Lower Antelope Canyon, there are two companies that operate just down the road from Upper, tickets must be booked separately:
– Ken’s Lower Antelope Canyon Tours (928) 606-2168 http://lowerantelope.com/ and
– Dixie Ellis’ Antelope Lower Canyon Tours (928) 640-1761 http://antelopelowercanyon.com
Guided tours must be booked in advance to avoid sold-out dates/times.
Hope that helps! If you have further questions, please e-mail me directly at horseshoe.bend.az@gmail.com

Hello,
We are interested in your upper, lower Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend on August 13th for four people in one day, but I only see the separate reservation for either upper or lower, but I saw “it can be one reservation for both upper and lower” on your website, could you send me the link for booking the tickets for both?
We hope lower antelope canyon could be in the morning and upper antelope canyon can be at noon, and the Horseband can be in the sunset, is there any one-day tour plan like that? Most importantly, pick us up from hotels in Las Vegas
Thank you and look forward to your reply!
Best,
Kerry
Hi Kerry,
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but if you are wanting to do an Antelope Canyon tour out of Las Vegas, you’ll only have time to do one of the canyons. It’s approximately a 5-hour drive, one way, from Las Vegas to Page, AZ. On our Las Vegas Antelope Canyon Expedition, for example, you get complimentary pick-up and drop-off at Las Vegas hotels, round-trip airplane flights from Boulder City, NV, to Page, AZ, a guided tour of Lower Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend, and a light lunch.
If the prospect of flying doesn’t appeal, there are ground tours from Las Vegas to Page, AZ, offered by companies such as MaxTour, but again, they will only feature one of the Antelope Canyons due to time constraints.
To do what you’re proposing, you would need to self-drive to Page, AZ, book a hotel there, and spend at least one night.
Hope that helps. If you have further questions, please contact me directly at horseshoe.bend.az@gmail.com
Good luck and safe travels,

Hi, if I go to lower canyon, are we allow to bring backpack or purse? I saw some site said we are not allow to bring purse, bags Or backpack
Hi Petty,
Due to recent events and safety precautions, Lower Antelope Canyon Tours is no longer permitting solid-colored bags, backpacks, hydration bags, fanny packs, waist pouches or purses in the canyon. Only clear or see-through bags are permitted on tours. If you need them, they are available for purchase at the Canyon and cost around $10.
Hope that helps. Good luck and safe travels,
Alley 🙂
We are a party of 16 arriving on 3/15/23 (9 adults + 6 kids, 1 kid age 3) and are looking to book for the 10.40am tour. It appears there are only 4 tickets available when we try to book online. Is there a way you would be able to accommodate our party on 3/15 at 10.40am?
Hi Satish,

I do have to tell you that you might have a hard time booking your party at this late notice. This week is the Spring Break holiday, so many local area tours are full. Having a 3-year-old in tow will also limit which Antelope Canyon tours you can take part in. In the likely event you find the above tour companies to be completely booked up, you might consider touring Antelope Canyon X or Ligai Si Anii Canyon, which is just as beautiful as Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon, and does permit kids.
Good luck and safe travels,
Alley 🙂
For the lower tour , do we just hike from our own vehicle? No riding in a shuttle or anything?
Hi Tonya,
This is an excellent question. The answer is, you have a choice!
On the “classic” Lower Antelope Canyon Hiking tour, you self-drive to the Tribal Park, check in at your tour company’s office, then are escorted on foot to the entrance of the canyon. After the tour, you go back to your vehicle and head to whatever’s next on your agenda, such as Horseshoe Bend.
On the newly-launched Lower Antelope Canyon Express, you are picked up at one of 3 select hotels in Page, Arizona, and are driven to the canyon and back to your selected hotel after your tour. For round-trip shuttle transportation, you do pay a bit extra.
Hope that helps! If you have further questions, please contact me directly at horseshoe.bend.az@gmail.com
Good luck and safe travels,

Hi Alley,
I booked a lower antelope canyon tour on April 12. However, I entered my email wrong. So I didn’t receive the confirmation email. I’m wondering if you help me to resend the confirmation email again? Sorry I couldn’t find other ways to get in contact with your company. My booking number end in 5405. My email: zoezhouyi@outlook.com Thank you!
Hi Zoe,
Check your e-mail box for your new confirmation. If you do not find it there, check your spam folder. Sometimes Outlook’s junk mail filters can be a little too efficient 😉
Cheers,
Alley
Are face masks really required on all of your tours? We are hiking outside right?
Hi Kristi,
As of late January, the mask mandate has since been lifted on the Navajo Nation. Face masks are now optional in most business settings. And yes, you are mostly hiking outside on Antelope Canyon tours.
That said, should COVID-19 numbers on the Navajo Nation tick upward again, they do reserve the right to reinstate the mask requirement to protect themselves.
Good luck and safe travels,
Alley
Does your tour company pick up from Phoenix hotels to the canyons?
Hi Alice!
Phoenix, AZ, visitors can enjoy day tours to Antelope Canyon, which are offered by a select group of companies, including:
Detours American West
Viatour
Arizona Luxury Tours
Please note that we are not affiliated with any of the above-referenced companies and encourage you to do your own “due diligence” by researching their history, customer reviews, and social media presence before committing your hard-earned $$$.
Hope that helps. Good luck and safe travels,
Alley 🙂
