We did a tour of Upper Antelope Canyon. Our guide, Loretta, was superb. She gave us tons of insight into the creation and continuing evolution of the canyon. She knew all the best spots for taking photos and was super kind to take our photos together several times. I love to visit these hidden gems and marvel at both the power to create ands destroy that nature has. Can't wait to return and tour lower Antelope Canyon-- or any other tour that this company offers! Fantastic guides and comfortable transport.

The Upper Canyon posseses a unique and otherworldly beauty that made visiting it highly memorable. Our tour guide Josh was fantastic--he was knowledgeable, kind, and helped us take what could be described as cinematic photos. The only reason I hesitate to give this five stars is that it is costly, at $150+ per person for us (during holiday season). I would give this 4.5 stars if I could. If you can afford it but are on the fence, I would say go!

Our guide - JR - was exceptional!!! He was very personable, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. He shared his understanding. Helped multiple people get the most out of their phone cameras to save some amazing photographs. He took everyone's picture who wanted one. He knew where and how to get amazing photographs. JR Made the trip more memorable than it might have been on my own. He is a GREAT GUIDE!!!

Visit Upper Antelope Canyon to take in its dramatic light beams and stunning sandstone formations with guided insights into its natural and cultural history.

Listen to your local Navajo guide who’ll explain how the canyon was formed and its significant role in Navajo culture.

Wander through the canyon’s passages as you learn how natural forces shaped these formations over thousands of years.

If you're in Las Vegas, consider taking a day trip to the slot canyons with round-trip transportation, plus a stop at Horseshoe Bend added to your tour, along with a deli-style lunch.

Fun fact: The canyon is known as "Tsé bighánílíní" in Navajo, which translates to "the place where water runs through rocks", which is how the slot canyons are formed.
