Itinerary
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.

I was contacted the day before that the tour was cancelled. I tried to find another tour and I could not find one that would fit my schedule. I ended up driving to Antelope Canyon myself because I did not want to miss it. Then, to top it off, I get a text today stating the tour will pick me up at 0645. Very, very disorganized
Dear Donna, Please make sure if you have posted the correct review to the correct listing. Here as per our records, you booked Lower Antelope Canyon for 3:00pm for July 1st and you checked in for the tour successfully.
This tour ended my week of exploring Arizona from Sedona, Grand Canyon, and lower Utah. The canyon itself was something wonderful behold and the colors that popped with each photo was absolutely stunning. Our guide Shawn T., was very knowledgeable and funny. I would highly recommend this tour.
Four senior citizens (all over 75) went on a Ken's tour with Shelbe M. as our guide. It was one of the best tours of any kind we have ever experienced. Shelbe was knowledgeable, fun, and safety conscientious. She taught us how to get the best pictures with our phone cameras, and took some of our pictures herself. She was always pointing out the best viewing spots, and making sure we were OK with the pace, footing, and climbs. Two of us have visited both Antelope Canyons before with good experiences, but this tour was by far the best.
We debated doing this tour since we would be driving 3+ hours (6+ round trip) from Sedona just for this tour but wow it was so worth it! We had the best guide, Brandon, who recommended we also drive over to Horseshoe bend. This is a can’t miss!
Great experience today with one of the best guides we’ve ever had on a tour - Tracy. She went out of her way to help everyone take amazing photos, sharing lots of cultural history and making it fun for our whole group. Would highly recommend.
FABULOUS! These canyons are absolutely spectacular- a must see if you are in the area. I did both lower and upper and while similar, I really appreciated doing both. The guides point out some of the best spots for taking pictures and give you some of the history/geology of the canyon. Highly recommend!
Absolutely beautiful !!! Ben was a great, very knowledgeable tour guide!! Climb down in was not too hard.
Troy Y. did an amazing job as our tour guide. Great experience. Would definitely recommend for anyone going to the area.
The best nature monuments around and the tour guide people very straight to explain to the tourist the arounds
We had a great experience! The views were splendid! Vanessa was our tour guide and she was fantastic! She gave us tips to take good pictures, offered to take pictures of us and for us. We enjoyed this tour very much.
