Visiting Antelope Canyon was one of those experiences that felt almost unreal. From the moment I stepped into the narrow passageways of Antelope Canyon, I was amazed by how the light filtered through the curves of the sandstone walls. The way the sunbeams stretched down into the canyon made everything glow in shades of orange, gold, and red. It didn’t even feel like I was walking through something natural—it looked like a painting carved by time. What I enjoyed most about the tour was learning how the canyon was formed. Hearing how flash floods slowly shaped the smooth, wave-like walls gave me a new appreciation for nature’s power and patience. It reminded me that some of the most beautiful things take years—sometimes thousands of years—to fully come together. That perspective made the experience feel even more meaningful.

Your guide Mike was top notch! He not only assisted us in getting the best pictures throughout the tour, he took several pictures of us as a couple and he took the time to answer all our questions. He not only toured us through the canyon but he also took the time to explain so many things once we were outside of the canyon. He was so knowledgeable. We would give him 20 stars out of 10.

Small-group tours for a personal & intimate experience

The small-group size allows for a more intimate exploration of the slot canyon with your Navajo guide, where you can interact with your guide more freely and experience the canyon in a more peaceful setting.

Experience the “long” slot canyon

Secret Antelope Canyon is known as a long slot canyon not because of its length, but because of the depth of the canyon and the narrow passageways, which make it appear elongated, or “long” in size.

Private access to the Horseshoe Bend Overlook

Your tour includes access to a private viewpoint of the Horseshoe Bend Overlook, allowing you to view the meander and take in sights of the Colorado River curving around the Bend without the crowds.

Easy & accessible terrain for a more comfortable experience

The terrain of Secret Antelope Canyon is soft, sandy, and easy to navigate, with no steep slopes or stairs, making the exploration accessible to all ages and fitness levels.

Combine two tours with one ticket

Enjoy a 3-hour guided tour of two of the most iconic landmarks in the American Southwest with one ticket, with comfort & ease.
