The mother of the company in her 70's guided our tour. Amazing how she was able to easily maneuver though the canyon. She was very wise in the Navajo culture. You could see she had a strong heart for her culture. My husband and I loved her stories. Loved that this company is small and family owned. We happened to have a private tour which was awesome. Becoming off season. We loved the vision hee daughter has for the company and that the matriarch only wants to hire guides that have they heart!! ❤️ of course the canyon was beautiful. I am an amateur photographer, so I was engrossed with all the designs on the rock. We even recommended Mysical to a German couple the next day while stopping at the Navajo National Museum Monument.

We had a wonderful tour in Antelope Canyon X. Our guise Al was our guide and he was friendly, relaxing, informative, and had a sense of humor. He offered photo taking for all the people in our group. It was a very sunny and hot day. Al also offered a complimentary bottle of cold water. He looked like an angel. Highly recommended.

Frequently asked questions about Horseshoe Bend tours

How much time do you actually spend at Horseshoe Bend on tours with Antelope Canyon included?

Most combination tours allow around 45–60 minutes at Horseshoe Bend, giving guests enough time to walk the short trail (about 1.5 miles round trip), enjoy the overlook, and take photos. Guided tours manage timing carefully so you also have full time to explore Antelope Canyon.

What’s the walking distance or difficulty level at Horseshoe Bend?

The trail is relatively short, about 0.75 miles each way, but includes a moderate incline and minimal shade. Tour providers recommend bringing water, sunglasses, and sun protection, especially in summer months when the heat can be intense.

What’s the difference between a helicopter tour and an airplane tour to Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon?

Helicopter tours offer a shorter, more intimate flight with low-altitude views of Lake Powell, Glen Canyon, and Horseshoe Bend. They do not include a landing stop at Horseshoe Bend. Airplane tours are longer and more spacious, flying over larger areas with a ground segment where guests are transported to Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend for guided exploration.

Is there a big time difference between driving and flying from Las Vegas?

Yes. Driving to Page, Arizona, takes around 5 hours each way, while airplane tours cut travel time down to about 1.5 hours each way. Airplane tours are ideal if you want to see both Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon in a single day without a long bus ride.

Are the tours affected by the weather?

Yes. Antelope Canyon may close temporarily during heavy rain due to flash flood risks, and helicopter/airplane tours can be delayed for wind or visibility issues.
