Antelope Canyon is fascinating. The colors and textures are almost surreal. Everything looked like you could reach out and make it wave. Our tour guide, Kaila, did a wonderful job of describing what we were experiencing. Pointing out the features made it fun. She was polite and appreciative of our age. The history of the canyon was insightful and gave us lots to think about. All in all we put Antelope Canyon as a highlight of our 12 day adventure from Arches to the Grand Canyon. Antelope Canyon was just as Grand.

Brandon was our guide. He took his time with our group, pointing out interesting features in the rock formations. He was very helpful , showing us how to use our cameras to take the best pictures. He even went out of his way to pick us up, so our group didn't have to walk so far at the end of our tour. We enjoyed hearing his stories about growing up in the area. Wonderful tour and guide!

Marketa was knowledgeable and very fun with her own takes on the canyon. She shared her love of her people and traditions, to the point she made sure that people who did not belong were not allowed to progress further in the canyon and we escorted them out. A great unexpected experience that really showed how much the Navajo care and take care of there legacy!

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.

The guide David was really great, he knew every nice photo spot and took photos of us and also of the nice spot. He was so into the tour, he took us thru untracked path which we loved! Just a small negative experience, girl in reception wasn't so friendly and she was bored to tell us more about where we has to be (where is the bus spot) and when. We had to ask her twice, but she didn't say anything, just hmmm. Also little reminder, you should write in your informations that people has to check their time difference, because we travelled from Kayenta and the time jumped backwards and towards and we arrived 2 hours before the tour.
