Tour Options
Itinerary
Travel through one of the most biodiverse stretch of highway from Flagstaff at 7000 feet, the Navajo Nation, and the red rocks of Glen Canyon before arriving at Horseshoe Bend
Next, it's off to Horseshoe Bend. Take an approximate 0.75-mile (1.2-km) hike that brings you to one of the best overlooks. At a point not far downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam, the Colorado River meanders around a rock promontory, creating the horseshoe-shaped loop beloved by visitors and photographers from around the world. As you approach the edge, take in the wonderful view. Please note: You'll hike a total of 2 miles (3.2 km); comfortable walking shoes are strongly recommended.
Enjoy amazing views as you enjoy a picnic lunch at Glen Canyon Dam Overlook.
At Antelope Canyon, follow your Navajo guide through a narrow slit in the earth where you’ll see the sculpted sandstone cliff. Sunlight from overhead creates shafts of light that pass into the canyon, making it even more beautiful. Descend ladders into the depths of the canyon to discover more of this serene place, and take photos with help from your guide about using the right settings on your camera for the light and the best angles for taking interesting shots. Antelope Canyon is a photographers dream.

Great experience. Scott made the tour awesome and enjoyable. Lunch was good. It’s worth every single penny. It’s a must try experience.
Great day! Our guide was wonderful! The antelope canyon did not disappoint. It was beautiful!
A fantastic day tour from start to finish. Well organized, careful attention and service, and informative along the Route. Our tour guide, Cory, took excellent care of us and provided good information, helpful hints, and Provisions
Corry was informative, prepared, and helpful. All 9 of us were taken care of and entertained. The provisions were excellent and appreciated. It was a long hot day and we had cool down time when we needed it and bathroom stops often enough for the older crowd!
Wow just wow!!!! What a wonderful first time being to the Grand Canyon for the three of us!! Very very memorable for sure!!! Alex and Corry both were absolutely wonderful! Alex we did Antelope canyon, horseshoe bend even some other bonuses. So absolutely wonderful and so worth the tour! Alex was great telling us all kinds of details and tidbits. Was attentive to all of us! Lunch was stupendous with plenty of snacks water and soda if you prefer. We did bring extra 3 waters which we could refill with the cooler of just water they had. Corry we had the following day for the Grand Canyon and several extras as well. He was also very detailed and kept us from crowded areas to make sure we had great views for Grand Canyon! He even had a telescope too attach to his phone to show us rafters and kayakers in the waters of the Colorado. The gift shop they both took is to was absolutely great!! Lunch was spot on yet again. We did bring our water bottles that were insulated to keep water cold. The difference of heat and winds was crazy but tolerable and Corry had van open and ready when we got back! Thank you so much from the 3 of us!! Keep doing what you’re doing boys!!
Our driver/tour guide Rocky was excellent! Quite the drive to get where we were headed but Rocky kept the travel time interesting, all sorts of info and personal insight. Northern Arizona is quite the package and arriving at Antelope Canyon was the cherry on top of the sundae. Never have I seen such beauty and wonder up close. Antelope Canyon is a must see (the guides are excellent). Horseshoe did not disappoint; more of nature's beauty. Take this tour (with this company) and you will not be disappointed. Two-thumbs up, Roger!
Rocky was very fun and knowledgeable. Had some good dad jokes and stories! Very obvious that he is passionate about the area and the people. Thanks Rocky!
This experience should not be missed. The canyon is gorgeous. The Navajo guides are knowledgeable and so helpful. Put it on your bucket list.
This was a great option to travel to antelope Canyon from Flagstaff, especially with the convenience of traveling in a comfortable van instead of driving on our own. Karen was an excellent guide
Beautiful places to see, and to experience!
