Itinerary
Lake Powell is a stunning desert reservoir known for its crystal-clear waters, towering red rock canyon walls, and hidden coves carved over millions of years. This is where your paddling adventure begins, launching into calm waters surrounded by dramatic scenery as you set off to explore one of the most iconic and picturesque landscapes in the Southwest.
Water Antelope Canyon is a stunning slot canyon accessible only by boat, offering a unique and intimate way to experience its sculpted sandstone walls and vibrant colors. During the tour, guests will hike through the canyon alongside a knowledgeable guide, who will share insights about the area’s geology, history, and Navajo culture while leading the way through this truly unforgettable landscape. This hidden section of Antelope Canyon offers a quieter, more immersive experience than the land-based canyons. Its unique perspective from the water makes it a truly unforgettable destination for exploration and photography.
Lake Powell’s expansive blue waters and towering red rock scenery provide a relaxing and scenic return journey as we head back across the lake to the original launch point. This final stretch on the water offers time to take in the sweeping views, reflect on the canyon experience, and enjoy a smooth cruise back as the tour comes to a close.

We had an amazing time on our kayak and hiking trip! We went as a family of four with 13- and 14-year-old boys and all had our own kayaks. The water was beautiful and so were the slot canyons. Dandrick, our guide, was very helpful and personable. He took several pictures or had recommendations for pictures as we went along. Tips that I would suggest: 1) Our guide had some water, but I would recommend taking your own water as well - we went through a lot. We all survived and made it back in our solo kayaks, but the boys and I were spent. If we had it to do over again, we would have done the two-seat kayak to have the last leg of the kayaking be a little more enjoyable. This was one of our favorite adventures we had on our SW road trip! We highly recommend it.
This was such a fun experience. It was great to start in the morning because it was HOT towards the end. We got to go in the water a couple of times so that was a great way to cool down. This was a great tour for the price. A long kayak ride and a good length hike to see a slot canyon. The kayaking part might be difficult for some depending on your athletic ability. The group size was perfect. Not too many people, but just enough for a fun vibe. Rich was also great & very knowledgable about the area and history around Page!
Loved our morning with Antelope Kayak. Amazing launch point and paddle to beautiful canyon and then hike on land/sand into the deeper cliff walled canyon. Mike, our guide, was fantastic… Appreciated the knowledge and care of the staff/ guides generally. Thank you for a very special and unforgettable experience!
We had such an amazing experience. Dylan our guide was amazing, informative, and made it such an awesome adventure for my family and I.
Dandrick was so nice and helpful. Gave great tips and even towed my boyfriend when he couldn't get the hang of it. He made the experience worth doing. I would definitely do it again.
Our guide Dsndick was great a great day on lake. If windy it can be difficult as it is 4 miles of paddling.
Wow! Such a beautiful tour and great swimming spots!! Laura was so kind and knowledgeable and taught us all about the region and Navajo people. This was an experience that we will never forget!!!
This was our first time kayaking and had an amazing time! The views were amazing. Staff was extremely patient and kind.
Vince was a great guide and very friendly. Hope the tiny bird he rescued from the water survived! Be prepared, very strenuous trip especially if there's wind! But glad we did it. Memories made!
We were lucky to have a beautiful day, clear skies and little wind. Our guide, Dandrick, was very chill and put everyone at ease. My family kayaks a lot and he let us go at our own pace. Following the 2 mile kayak, our group met up for the hike into the canyons. Absolutely beautiful but it’s a long walk through sand so be prepared with the right footwear, water and sunscreen. Dandrick kept pace and told us a lot about the environment in the canyon and on the lake. The kayak back was more challenging because lots of boats were on the lake by midday Friday and there was a fair amount of chop. Still manageable and there was plenty of time to take breaks. The views were absolutely stunning. Highly recommend the tour and our guide.
