💡 Insider Tip
LasVegasTour Editorial Review
“What you're buying here is nine hours in a coach for about four hours on the ground, which makes this a tour for people who want Lower Antelope Canyon without renting a car and driving 4.5 hours each way themselves. The ladders rule it out for anyone who can't climb with minimal assistance, despite the "all fitness levels" label. The Navajo-guided noon entry is the real payoff, and the 7,875 reviews say the long day runs reliably. Worth it once, hard to justify twice.”

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Lower Antelope Canyon or Upper Antelope Canyon?▾
This tour visits Lower Antelope Canyon, with about 120 minutes there including a guided tour and the Navajo Nation permit. One exception: from January 12 to 18, 2026, Lower Antelope Canyon is closed, so Antelope Canyon X is visited instead. If you book in that window, note that Antelope Canyon X requires children aged 0 to 8 to have a child safety seat provided by their guardian.
How much walking is involved at Horseshoe Bend?▾
Horseshoe Bend is reached by a 1.5-mile round-trip hike, and you spend about 60 minutes at the site. The operator describes the trail as suitable for all fitness levels. Expect some rocky sections, stairs, and gravel along the way, so wear suitable shoes.
Is the Navajo guide included in the price?▾
Yes. The Navajo Nation permit fee and the guided canyon tour are included in the USD 189 per person price. Gratuities for the Navajo tour guide are not included and are separate from any other tip.
What happens if weather affects the tour?▾
Antelope Canyon can close due to extreme weather, and the operator notes they are not alerted until they approach the canyon, so a closure may not be known in advance. The one-way drive of about 4.5 hours can also take longer in poor weather or traffic. The tour details do not specify refund or rescheduling terms for weather disruptions, so confirm those with the operator. For cancellations you initiate, a full refund requires canceling at least 24 hours before departure.
Are meals provided during the 14-hour day?▾
Yes. The tour includes a deli lunch, a granola bar, and bottled water. Given the heat in summer, the operator recommends bringing extra water beyond what is provided.
Can I visit both locations on my own instead of taking a tour?▾
This listing is for the guided day tour only, so visiting independently is outside what is offered here. One point to know: Lower Antelope Canyon sits on Navajo Nation land and requires a timed entry with a Navajo guide, which this tour arranges. The tour details do not cover self-guided access, so confirm any independent options directly with the sites.
