💡Can you visit both Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend in one day from Vegas?
Yes, this 13-hour private tour from Las Vegas covers both Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend for $1,430 per person. You take a 90-minute Navajo-guided walk through Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon, do a 1.5-mile round-trip hike to Horseshoe Bend, and pass Lake Powell, Glen Canyon Dam, and Kanab. Best for photographers and small groups who want a long day on their own schedule, but the canyon bans canes, walkers, and wheelchairs.

🎯 Why People Book This

What you're signing up for is a private, 13-hour day trip out of Las Vegas to two places people specifically want to see: the slot canyon at Antelope Canyon, where you get a 90-minute Navajo-guided walk, and the Colorado River bend at Horseshoe Bend. At USD 1,430 per person, you're paying for the private format and the long round-trip drive, not a packed list of stops. That's the real tradeoff here: most of the day goes to road time, and you choose between Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon up front, with all sales final.

🗺️ The Experience

The Private Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend Day Tour is a 13-hour private trip from Las Vegas to two sites in Northern Arizona, run by National Park Express from USD 1,430 per person.
This is a long day built around two short stops. Of the 13 hours, the time on the ground at the two named places adds up to about two and a half: 90 minutes inside Antelope Canyon and 60 minutes at Horseshoe Bend. The rest is driving, and the route is part of what you are paying for. You pass through the Virgin River Gorge, the long stretch of Lake Powell, the Glen Canyon Dam overlook, the wide views across Grand Staircase Escalante, and the town of Kanab on the way. You see most of this from the vehicle.
What you do at the two stops is specific. Antelope Canyon is a guided walk with a Navajo guide through the slot canyon's sandstone walls, where light drops in through the openings above. Horseshoe Bend is a self-guided 1.5-mile round-trip hike to the point where the Colorado River bends back on itself. The base price covers hotel pickup, the air-conditioned vehicle, a boxed lunch, WiFi, and both admissions.
The one decision left to the buyer is which canyon: Lower or Upper Antelope. That choice is the tier; everything else holds. On a private booking for up to 15, the long drive is the price of having those two stops to yourselves.

🤔 Is It Worth It?

Our verdict: Who should look elsewhere is anyone happy sharing a van with strangers, because the shared Antelope Canyon Horseshoe Bend day trip reaches the same slot canyon and the same overlook for $189 instead of $1,310. The only reason to pay this is the word in the title: private. This is for travelers who want the day built around their group alone, on their own pace, and treat the company of strangers as the thing they're paying to avoid.
Worth it if:
  • you're traveling as a family or a small group and want the whole vehicle to yourselves, not a fixed seat on a 14-15 hour shared run
  • you'd rather set your own pace at Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend than move on someone else's schedule
  • the privacy itself is the point, and you'd pay well over the shared fare to have it
Skip it if:
  • you're fine sharing the day with other travelers, in which case the shared Antelope Canyon Horseshoe Bend trip covers the same ground and rates higher at 4.9/5
  • the appeal of seeing these two places is the places, not who you see them with, and a group tour gets you there for a fraction of this
Choose this over the shared Antelope Canyon Horseshoe Bend Full Day Trip if:
  • having the vehicle and the guide to your own group matters more to you than what you're paying for it

💡 Insider Tip

At booking you pick Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon, and they're different walks: Upper is at ground level with the overhead light beams most people picture, while Lower means descending stairs through the narrower canyon, so choose based on whether you'd rather avoid the climb or chase the beams.

LasVegasTour Editorial Review

LasVegasTour Rating

What you're buying here is a private van and a Navajo-guided slot canyon walk, not a sightseeing marathon, even though Lake Powell, Glen Canyon Dam and Kanab roll past the windows on the way. The trade-off is blunt: 13 hours and USD 1430 per person for 90 minutes inside Antelope Canyon and 60 at Horseshoe Bend. Worth it if a private guide and no rental car matter more than the price; skip it if you'd happily drive yourself. Note the all-sales-final policy against a tour the operator admits weather can delay.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Upper Antelope Canyon or Lower Antelope Canyon?

Either. The tour offers both as booking options, so you choose Upper Antelope Canyon or Lower Antelope Canyon when you book.

Is the Navajo guide included in the price?

Yes. The Antelope Canyon portion is a guided walking tour, and Navajo guides lead it and point out photo opportunities. Admission to that guided tour is included in the price.

How long is the drive each way to Page, Arizona?

The drive time isn't specified in the tour details. The full tour runs 13 hours round trip from Las Vegas and passes through the Virgin River Gorge on the way. Confirm exact drive time with the operator when booking.

What's the difference between this private tour and group tours?

This is a private tour booked for your party, with a group size of 1 to 15 people per booking. The tour details don't describe any group tour for comparison, so we can't speak to that here.

Are meals included beyond the boxed lunch?

No. The price includes a boxed lunch, a granola bar, and bottled water. Any other food or drink is a personal expense and not included.

What should I wear for the canyon visits?

The tour details don't specify clothing. They do note that Horseshoe Bend involves a 1.5 mile round-trip hike, and that all guests must be able to walk unassisted on uneven surfaces with steep inclines and declines. Antelope Canyon does not allow hiking sticks, canes, walkers, or wheelchairs. Plan footwear and clothing for walking on uneven ground.
