Antelope Canyon has quickly risen to Top 5 status among the Page, Arizona area’s “must do” activities. An authorized tour guide is required to enter, and advance reservations are an absolute must!
To book a tour for Antelope Canyon, you must first decide whether you want to tour Lower or Upper Antelope Canyon.
Upper is an easy, flat 100 yard walk following a 2-mile safari truck ride from the Navajo Tribal Park Gate on US98 to the canyon’s entrance.
Lower is longer (~600 yards), requires some stair climbing and stepping over a few boulders, access to the canyon is directly from the Tribal Park Gate on US98.
Time permitting, you might also consider visiting the waterside of Antelope Canyon by boat tour or kayak.
We know you didn’t come all this way just to see one part of such a magnificent Canyon. In the past it has been difficult to book more than one canyon run at a time due to the hassles of having to book through different vendors. Well no more! We have done all the hard work so you can Book your bundle today and enjoy the natural wonders that are the Upper & Lower Canyons as well as by boat! Find out why these canyons are some of the most photographed canyons in the world! The advantage of booking here on Antelopecanyon.az is that many times bundle deals are available when stand alone tours are not!

#1 – All inclusive booking price. Don’t get caught with hidden fee’s!
#2 – When you purchase a boat tour combo your Park Entry fees is reduced from $37.00 to $2.00! Just show your Vouchers.

Pro Tip! If you cannot find openings for the dates you are looking for, check out bundle deals. Many times these are still available when general booking is full!!
First you must then decide whether you prefer to tour Upper Antelope Canyon with an outfitter that offers round-trip transportation from the town of Page, Arizona, or if you’d prefer to pick up your tour directly from the Tribal Park Entrance Gate on US98. Whichever way you choose to go (transportation from Page or direct from the Navajo Park Gate), the tours and prices are the same, so pick whoever has the time slot that works best for you and book it.
The sole Upper Antelope Canyon tour company operating from the Tribal Park Entrance Gate on US98 is Antelope Canyon Navajo Tours. Their tour schedule is as follows:

Hi Alley, I have been trying to book a bundle tour on January 16 2020 but the first 2 weeks in January don’t appear to be available? Do you know if tours are possible on this date?
Appreciate your help
Sally
Hi Sally,
2020 tour seat inventory was opened only recently. I show that 2020 dates, including the first couple weeks of January, are available for booking.
Sorry for the trouble,
Alley
Thanks Alley. I’ve just tried again to book the combo upper and lower tour but the 16 January shows as unavailable. The lower canyon tour on kens website is also unavailable for the first two weeks in January. However the upper tour looks available.
If we have driven from Zion that morning, given winter daylight hours, do you think we would be ok to book a late morning tour of the upper? I will try to add the lower Canyon later if the dates become available.
Hi Sally,
It is entirely possible that that day’s tours are already sold out. If you do opt to book a tour for Upper, late morning is a perfectly fine time to visit. You won’t experience the light beams, as that is a spring-summer-fall phenomenon, but the chambers should still be nicely illuminated for you. Do check back periodically to see if any cancellations have occurred in Lower. You might also try checking availability with Dixie Ellis, the other Lower Antelope Canyon tour outfitter, at http://www.antelopelowercanyon.com.
Take care,
Alley 🙂
Bonjour from Canada. We will be in your area on May 2nd, 2020. We will be leaving the Wahweap Campsite with our 29ft fifth wheel, on our way to Chinle. Will parking be an issue while we do our tour with you ? Thank you
Good morning Francois, and apologies for the delay in response to your inquiry. This past weekend was the US Thanksgiving holiday, and I was out of town on a previously arranged work obligation.
Regarding traveling with a 5th wheel, people visit this area with these and other types of trailers all the time, so you should be able to find a place to park your rig without too much fuss. To be on the safe side, though, I would recommend leaving your campsite well in advance of your tour. Most tour companies require that you check in 30-60 minutes prior to your tour’s actual departure. You should allow for 45 minutes to travel from the Wahweap Campground to Page, AZ, if your tour is leaving from there. Allow for ~60-70 minutes to travel to the Antelope Canyon Tribal Park Entrance on US98 if you are taking a tour that departs directly from there, or from Antelope Point Marina.
Please feel free to write in again if you require further clarification.
Good luck, safe travels, and best wishes for a Joyeux Noël!

We are trying to book a tour for upper and lower canyon. I see other websites have already started booking and we could only get the upper booked. There is eight of us and I see your company provides an upper and lower combo. I see you responded to Heather “December is usually when they open seats for the following year, so check back in a couple weeks.” How are other places able to book for 2020 now? We would prefer to do the combo on July 19, 2020.
Hey Eddie,
If you go directly to Ken’s Lower Antelope Canyon Tours‘ website, you can book the Upper + Lower Combination tour there. Sorry for the trouble.
Alley
When will 2020 booking open?
Hi Heather,
We’ve tried to establish that and the best answser we can get from the tour companies is “soon.” 😛 December is usually when they open seats for the following year, so check back in a couple weeks.
Happy Holidays,
Alley
Photographic tours have been cancelled since 2020. All other antelope canyon tours are still available.
Hey Sean,
We just got that memo ourselves! We will of course be changing this page to reflect the changes.

Hi!
we will be arriving from Canada to Phoenix on November 29th (around noon) and will head out to Sedona until December 7th. We will be staying overnite in Phoenix on November 29th, leaving for Sedona on November 30th. It’s just me and my husband on this trip. Other than visiting Antelope Canyon (probably Lower Antelope Canyon tour), do you have any suggestions for activities around Sedona for the six days we’ll be there? We will be doing some hicking for sure. We have already been to the Grand Canyon South Rim on a previous trip. Here are some of the things we had in mind:
Chapel of the Holy Cross
Wineries?
Hiking
Votexes
Thanks in advance!
Josette
Hi Josette!
With 6 days, using Sedona, AZ, as your “base of operations,” you can certainly accomplish quite a lot, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend visiting Antelope Canyon as a day trip at the time of year you’re visiting. The drive from Sedona, AZ, to Page, AZ, takes approximately 3 hours each way, driving direct. So that’s 6 hour of your day gone, right off the bat. It then takes 2.5-3.5 hours to tour Lower Antelope, factoring in advance check-in time required, plus the inevitable “bottlenecking” that will occur as the day goes on, seeing as though it’s the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend. While in Page, AZ, you should also take the opportunity to visit Horseshoe Bend, which can take anywhere from 1-2 hours depending on how fast you can find parking, the hike out to the overlook, time to take pictures, then hike back to your car. So that’s another 4-5 hours for sightseeing and maybe lunch. Sunrise in late November occurs at about 7:15 AM and sunset takes place shortly after 5:00 PM in late November, which means you have approximately 10 hour of daylight to work with. As you can hopefully see, a day trip from Sedona do tour Antelope Canyon and see Horseshoe Bend is going to be cutting it fine to get you back to Sedona by nightfall. That’s one drive you don’t want to have to do after dusk because of lack of lighting on local roads and the tendency for deer, elk, and other wildlife to congregate around them, which ratchets up your risk of having an accident. If you’re not locked into your lodging reservations in Sedona, I’d recommend doing the trip to Page, AZ, with an overnight hotel stay. That way, you can take your time and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way!
As for the rest of your time there, the activities you’ve already listed are great. Some other possibilities include, but certainly aren’t limited to shopping at Tlaquepaque, a Pink Jeep Broken Arrow Tour, the Verde Canyon Scenic Railway, Montezuma Castle, Tuzigoot, a day trip to Jerome, AZ. Trust me, you won’t have any shortage of fun!
Feel free to write in again if you want to bounce any other ideas off us.
Until then, good luck, safe travels, and Happy Holidays!
Alley 🙂
Thanks for the tips! Will certainly consider an overnight stay in Page.
😉
Josette
Hi again Josette,
Hope all goes well. We’re expecting a significant storm in Northern Arizona over Thanksgiving weekend, so hope that doesn’t put a kabosh on your plans. If it does, hope you get the opportunity to visit us again in the future.
Take care and drive safe,
Alley 🙂
