It doesn't matter how good Lower Antelop Canyon is, it would mean nothing with good Staff. From Kylie, the happy, beautiful meet and greet staff who went above and beyond to make the whole tour seamless, to the knowledgeable guide walking us through the Canyon. With stories, facts, personal invites to the best photo spots and angles. This was a great experience. To put in prospective, on this trip we have visited The Grand Canyon. Arches NP, Monument Valley and the Rocky Mountains NP. Even went to Upper Antelop Canyon in the afternoon. All these places are stunning and beatiful, but none have even come close to leaving such great memories as Dixes. And that comes down to KYLIE and all the staff.......we appreciated everything while travelling from Australia.

We did the Lower Antelope Canyon tour (6/8/26). Easy to get to, clean facility, very friendly and welcoming staff. Our guide was Jason. He was so friendly and made sure everyone in the group was included. We really enjoyed the tour and would definitely go again. Highly recommended!

It was awesome! The guide was great, he took the time to share information about the canyon as well as personal information. He also spent time showing us where to stand and get the perfect photos. What a great experience.

The tour guide was excellent. The tour itself was breathtaking. We took over 100 pictures! As far as I am concerned, everyone needs to see the wonders of our natural parks!
