NO REFUNDS once the booking is confirmed. Refunds will not be issued for “no-shows” and being late. Regretfully, illness, fear of COVID, forgotten reservations, misjudging travel times, traffic, and other emergencies do not affect this strict policy. We're sorry!
Check in time is 30 minutes prior to the tour time. All times on this tour page and confirmations are in ARIZONA TIME (Summer time: Same time as Pacific Time; Winter time Same time as Mountain Time. - No Daylight Saving Time - Not Utah Time - Not Navajo Nation Time). Because the Utah State Line is less than 7 miles away, cell phone towers from Utah (and the surrounding Navajo Nation) often will be the wrong time! Do yourself a favor and do like the locals do: Manually set your cell phone to PHOENIX, AZ time.
No Drugs, Alcohol in Navajo Nation

What To Expect
Lower Antelope Canyon
Over the years, Lower Antelope Canyon has become a favorite gathering place for photographers, tourists, and visitors from around the world. The views in Lower Antelope Canyon change constantly as the sun moves across the sky, filtering lights softly across the stone walls. These ever-moving sun angles bounce light back and forth across the narrow canyon’s walls, creating a dazzling display of color, light, and shadow. The Navajo name for Lower Antelope Canyon is Hasdeztwazi or “Spiral Rock Arches.” Many years ago, herds of Pronghorn Antelope roamed freely in and around the canyon, which explains the English name. This incredible canyon has been created over millions of years by the relentless forces of water and wind, slowly carving and sculpting the sandstone into forms, textures, and shapes which we observe today.

I was contacted the day...

1.00I was contacted the day before that the tour was cancelled. I tried to find another tour and I could not find one that would fit my schedule. I ended up driving to Antelope Canyon myself because I did not want to miss it. Then, to top it off, I get a text today stating the tour will pick me up at 0645. Very, very disorganized
Was worth all the hype!

5.00This tour ended my week of exploring Arizona from Sedona, Grand Canyon, and lower Utah. The canyon itself was something wonderful behold and the colors that popped with each photo was absolutely stunning. Our guide Shawn T., was very knowledgeable and funny. I would highly recommend this tour.
Amazing Tour with Shelbe M.

5.00Four senior citizens (all over 75) went on a Ken's tour with Shelbe M. as our guide. It was one of the best tours of any kind we have ever experienced. Shelbe was knowledgeable, fun, and safety conscientious. She taught us how to get the best pictures with our phone cameras, and took some of our pictures herself. She was always pointing out the best viewing spots, and making sure we were OK with the pace, footing, and climbs. Two of us have visited both Antelope Canyons before with good experiences, but this tour was by far the best.
Wow wow wow!

5.00We debated doing this tour since we would be driving 3+ hours (6+ round trip) from Sedona just for this tour but wow it was so worth it! We had the best guide, Brandon, who recommended we also drive over to Horseshoe bend. This is a can’t miss!
Wonderful guided tour

5.00FABULOUS! These canyons are absolutely spectacular- a must see if you are in the area. I did both lower and upper and while similar, I really appreciated doing both. The guides point out some of the best spots for taking pictures and give you some of the history/geology of the canyon. Highly recommend!
