Each tour is lead by an experienced Navajo guide, who is certified by the Navajo Nation Parks & Recreation Dept. and National Park Service. Each and everyone of our guides was born and raised in this Canyon De Chelly area, allowing them to gain a vast knowledge of its history to share with all our guests who visit this place we call home. As well as learning about the canyon's rich history, rock art sites and other archeological sites, you will hear stories and tales of life in the canyon and get a chance (time permitted and seasonal option) to visit our guide's families who still weave, farm, ranch, and continue to live a traditional Navajo lifestyle in this rural part of the southwest. We invite you to join one of our guides on a truly unique and one of a kind tour, and to support this 100% NAVAJO OWNED and OPERATED SMALL BUSINESS!! Ahéhee' (thank you)

Bob Is The Best!

5.00This is a "Must-Do" when visiting Canyon de Chelly N.M. The Beauty Tour jeeps are comfortable and outfitted perfect for the ruff terrain. We were able to get to areas that are only accessible from a tour like this. Ben is an excellent guide and I highly suggest you request him when booking. He is very knowledgeable and he shared tons of information about the ruins, petroglyphs, culture, history and even the geology. Bob was very friendly and funny! The price was very reasonable and the whole experience was a highlight to our trip to the Four Conners area.
Do not miss tour!

5.00My niece and I took a tour to Canyon de Chelly a couple of weeks ago. Every step of the way, the Beauty Way tour staff were responsive, well-organized, helpful, and kept us up to date. Our tour guide, Emily, knows so much about the geography, history, the culture of the people who have lived in the canyon. We were riveted from start to finish. The canyon is gorgeous. The petroglyphs and ruins amazing. Thank you for a once in a lietime tour!

5.00Our guide was Arica Charley, and she was awesome! She picked us up at our hotel, the BW Canyon de Chelly right on time. And she took us all around the canyon floor. She was so knowledgeable on the history of the Navajo and the canyon itself. She answered all of our questions. I highly recommend using this tour company.
Great introduction to the Canyon

5.00Informative three-hour jeep tour that gives a good impression of the Canyon de Chelly, provides interesting facts about the culture of the Navajos and the history of the canyon. Arika is not only an accomplished and knowledgeable guide, but also an excellent driver. Can only recommend the tour.
Amazing Canyon

5.00Book in advance and be cognizant of the weather conditions and the fun but rough ride. Bring plenty of water, maybe snacks and be respectful of the land, the culture and the people. Jarvin was a top notch guide and host. He did everything possible to fulfill even the smallest of our needs. Once completed, plan to do the South Rim self-drive and take in the aerial view. A Can't Miss combination.
Great tour

5.00We took the 3 hour Jeep tour with Emily as a guide. Thoroughly enjoyed our time with Emily. She is native to the Canyon and her knowledge of the history and Navajo culture was awesome. 3 hours went by way too quick. So many instances of rock drawings and cliff dwellings to see. Very pleased we took the tour, and Emily was so easy to spend the time with.

5.00There are trips you take, and then there are trips that humble you. Beauty Way Jeep Tours in Chinle, AZ is the latter. Riding through the open air in a safari-style jeep, surrounded by scenery so breathtaking it barely feels real, I found myself genuinely awestruck — the kind of awe that silences you and makes you simply look. Our guide Leander was exceptional. His dedication to his craft and to his guests was evident in every detail — and the thoughtful touch of providing blankets for the open-air ride spoke volumes about the level of care he brings to the experience. While we were deep in the canyon, we had the lovely surprise of crossing paths with his daughter, who was out guiding her own group. Witnessing that — a family sharing this land and this calling together — added a layer of warmth and authenticity to the experience that I didn’t expect and won’t forget. But what moved me most was the deeper gift of this tour: the opportunity to be welcomed onto this land, to hear the stories, to be trusted with the culture and history of this place. That is not something I take lightly. To the team at Beauty Way Jeep — thank you. Thank you for sharing your land, your knowledge, and your spirit with visitors like us. It is a privilege we do not take for granted, and an experience we will carry with us long after the red dust has settled. If you find yourself near Canyon de Chelly, do not hesitate. Go. And go with gratitude.
