Was a great tour and so glad we chose this company. Vans to and from canyon was airconditioned and closed in. We saw many other tours where they took you in open trucks with participants holding on to bars while on the bumpy sandy ride to the canyon. The guide was efficient and gave great tips for photos and explained many things about the canyons. Photos were excellent.

We absolutely loved the Upper Antelope Canyon tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the canyons. He helped us adjust our cameras and even took special pics and group shots. He never hurried us and allowed us old people to walk back through instead of walking uphill in the hot sun! Just wonderful!

Everything was great. Our your guide Ethan was amazing! He took his time to show us unique parts of the canyon and helped us take amazing photos. Would definitely recommend

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.

I visited in late August. Although there were occasional rain showers, the canyon itself was not muddy and was easy to walk through. Our guide was a young member of the Navajo Nation. Despite the limited time, he was very kind and helpful. He took photos for us and explained the history and culture of the Navajo people. There are some tricks to the camera settings needed to capture those iconic Antelope Canyon photos, so don’t hesitate to ask your guide for help. They will be happy to show you the right settings. The weather wasn’t ideal during our visit, but overall, we had a comfortable and enjoyable tour.

We so enjoyed all of the tour. Our guide was completely wonderful and caring. She took amazing photos of us at very locations that we will enjoy for years to come. Our only suggestion-make it mandatory for inviduals with mobility issues to go back through the canyon to the vans. We had issues with the route up hill. We were offered the option to go back through the canyon and decided to try the regular path. Our guide had to come up the hill in the van to get us. Others had to wait. Learned a valuable lesson. Many thanks to Antelope Adventure for their kindness and expertise.

Upper Antelope Canyon is a marvel, but the cost of the tour is excessive. We paid a very high price just to spend 20 actual minutes inside the canyon, not counting the time spent on the off-road drive. Furthermore, due to the intense heat, we weren’t able to walk the trail outside the canyon, which further diminished the experience. The guide doesn’t really give a tour; he just accompanies you to take your photo, looking for the best light.
