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!

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.

5.00The 'hike" was very easy and enjoyable. There were stairs and ladders but they were easy to traverse (they make it sound like it is difficult but it is not at all). The slot canyon was truly amazingly beautiful and looks just like the pictures. Definitely a bucket list excursion!!
It much of a hike. Still...

1.00First of all the descriptions of the upper and lower canyon were misleading. My husband developed severe back pain hours before so we couldn't go. Because it was less than 24 hours, even though it was the day before that we canceled, we could not get a refund or even a partial refund.
Beautiful

3.00The Antelope Slot Canyons are absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately only tours offer entry and they are with large groups timed every 15 min. You are herded quickly through without time to enjoy and take photographs. The guides are strict about this and quite rude threatening to escort you out if you lag. This negative detracts from the experience. Too bad.
