Our tour guide, Gavin, helped us take the best photos of the canyon. He was also very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was worth every cent and is highly recommended. The ladders are quite steep, but once you get down into the canyon, it is a very easy walk, although here and there it becomes very narrow. It was a fantastic experience that we will remember forever.

The canyon was just an amazing natural wonder. We enjoyed everything about our experiance. We had Ben as our guide and he was an exceptional guide. He knew all the history of the cavern and pointed out many great views. He also added in Navajo history of the area. I had the pleasure of talking with him after the tour.

First of all this was a bucket list item and it did not disappoint. Our group age was 9 to 88. Our guide Adelbert was phenomenal, ahéhee'. It is a serene site and a priviledge to be able to visit the Navajo Nation and learn its history.

A nice tour with a guide—I think her name was Fiona—who was excellent. I highly recommend her. You can only bring a bottle of water, your phone, and a camera inside; no backpacks or bags, and you can't take videos.

The knowledge of the tour guide and of course the amazing views. It was good to learn about Navajo People and County. This was a great experience.

Relaxed experience: Tours move along more comfortably, making it ideal for visitors who prefer minimal physical effort.

Lower Antelope Canyon

An adventurous slot canyon with ladders, narrow walkways, and color-changing sandstone walls.

Ladder descents: Enter the canyon by climbing down steep ladders that add excitement right from the start.

Narrow passageways: Walk through tight corridors that create an immersive slot canyon experience.

Layered sandstone walls: Large chambers display stunning, multicolored rock layers shaped by erosion.

Active exploration: Requires climbing, crouching, and walking through uneven ground, perfect for visitors who want a more physical adventure.

Antelope Canyon X

A quieter, less crowded canyon that balances wide-open chambers with narrower slots.
