Secret Canyon Experience

5.00We had a wonderful experience on the Secret Canyon and Horseshoe Bend tour. Both locations were absolutely beautiful and well worth the trip. The ride out was fun and scenic—while they mentioned it would be bumpy, we didn’t find it bad at all. Our tour guide was amazing. As a Navajo native, she shared so many interesting facts and personal insights that made the experience even more meaningful. It added a special cultural connection you wouldn’t get otherwise. One helpful tip: be sure to understand the time change when arriving. Since it’s right near the Arizona/Utah border, we ended up arriving an hour early. Also, there are no bathrooms at either site, but they do offer an option to stop beforehand, which was appreciated. Overall, it was a memorable and beautiful experience, and we highly recommend it!

5.00This tour was amazing. Our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. He gave us great insight to the land and Navajo people. He gave us enough time to absorb what we were seeing. We enjoyed both the canyon and horseshoe overlook. Well worth the time to experience this tour.

5.00Seeing Secret Antelope Canyon gives you a semi-private viewing of a beautiful slot canyon. You’re there with a guide and up to a dozen people. I didn’t know until afterwards that Secret Antelope is longer than Upper Antelope. Our guide, Gail, was very knowledgeable about the area, took great photos of everyone, and answered questions we had. Seeing Horseshoe Bend from a quieter spot was fabulous. No one else around but us!
