We'll board at your booked departure time and set off on an unforgettable adventure. Our journey begins with a 25-30 minute drive along private dirt roads in the Navajo Nation, where you'll enjoy breathtaking views of the picturesque Vermillion Cliffs and sandstone mesas. Though the distance is not far, we drive at a leisurely pace to let you take in the beauty of the surroundings.
Upon arriving at the Secret Antelope Canyon parking area, your guide will provide a brief introduction covering the dos and don’ts of the canyon. From there, enjoy a short 0.3-mile nature walk into the canyon. You'll be amazed by the stunning striations, curves, and colors carved into the sandstone walls. Your guide will share fascinating insights about the canyon and point out the best spots for capturing incredible photos. After exploring the canyon, we’ll return to the parking area to board the vehicle.

We did the Secret Canyon tour and had an amazing experience. Nicole was a wonderful guide, super fun, welcoming, and made sure we got to the best photo spots without ever feeling rushed. The canyon itself was stunning, just as beautiful as Antelope but with far fewer crowds, which made it feel calm and immersive. The off-road ride out to the trailhead was an adventure on its own and added to the whole experience. Highly recommend!
