Lake Powell Canyon Adventure Boat Tour

Hi Pamela,
The boat tours will go to the same place, regardless of where you take it from. The Antelope Point Marina tour, by virtue of being closer to Antelope Canyon, will be shorter. Also, they run tours through some of the winter months, unlike Lake Powell Resort, which usually goes on seasonal hiatus in late October-early November. The boats used by Antelope Point Marina are also open-air, while Lake Powell Resorts’ boats are enclosed.
Similarly for Upper Antelope Canyon, all the tour companies offer pretty much the same program, right down to the footsteps, and the penny. Therefore, there’s no need to fret over who’s best, etc. Book an Antelope Canyon tour at a time that works for you and enjoy it.
Other activities in the Page/Lake Powell area that you might consider doing include, but aren’t limited to: Visiting the John Wesley Powell Museum and Glen Canyon Natural History Association (they’re next door to one another), the Navajo Village Heritage Center, the Glen Canyon Dam/Carl Hayden Visitors Center, the “New” Wave, the Big Water Visitors’ Center 13 miles Northwest of Page, or perhaps a walk on the Rim View Trail.
Good luck and safe travels,

Hi Mel and thank you for visiting our site!
Due to the fact that you’re starting your trip in Tucson, this is going to make for a long drive at the beginning of your trip and another long drive at the end.
With 3 days to work with, I’d recommend driving from Tucson to Page, AZ on Day 1. It’s going to be at least a 6 hour drive, but could stretch to about 8 due to the scenic nature of the drive and inevitable sights that will pique your interest. “Must” stops on this drive include, but certainly aren’t limited to, Sedona, AZ, Wupatki/Sunset Crater National Monuments, the Cameron Trading Post, the “Cut” scenic overlook and the Horseshoe Bend Overlook.
On Day 2, do a tour of Antelope Canyon in the morning, then start driving to Grand Canyon South Rim. The drive takes about 2.5 hours if you go direct, but here again, that rarely happens since there are many Grand Canyon viewpoints you can stop at on the way into Grand Canyon Village, the main commerce area in the park. Stay at Grand Canyon South Rim, either inside the park (GC Village) or Tusayan/GC Village South. Grand Canyon hotels
On Day 3, start driving back to LA, which will also take you about 8 hours. If you can possibly free up another day, you might break up the drive to LA in Las Vegas, Laughlin or Bullhead City.

Good luck and safe travels!

Hi Michelle,
First off, decide whether you want to visit Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon. In a nutshell, Upper is easy, 100 yards, flat the whole way; Lower is a bit more difficult, involves some stair climbing and boulder-stepping. Upper Vs. Lower Antelope Canyon When you choose which branch of Antelope Canyon to see, make a reservation for a tour.
Be sure to stop by Horseshoe Bend as well, either on your way from Phoenix to Page, or on the trip back. Try to avoid driving at night if at all possible.
Other activities you might consider, depending on time of year you’re visiting and daylength, include but are not limited to:
* Hidden Canyon Kayak Tour
* Lake Powell Canyon Adventure Boat Tour
* Rainbow Bridge Air Tour
* Glen Canyon Half-Day Float Trip
Hope that helps. Best wishes for safe travels!
