Small Group Antelope Canyon Day Trip from Phoenix

Overview

Hidden for centuries beneath Native soil, nature has built a cathedral for herself: a slot canyon still unsurpassed in its beauty, the perfect symphony of sand, stone and light, layered marble colored rock that is distinctly unique. After exploring Antelope Canyon you will continue on your journey and visit Horseshoe Bend. A short hike takes you to the most captivating curve the Colorado River has carved out on his 1400 mile journey from the Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of California. At this sheer 1000ft drop, framed by massive canyon walls, the emerald green sparkly reflections of this ancient stream will surely take your breath away.

What To Expect

Route 66

From the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, our route takes us through the Sonoran Desert up into the picturesque mountain town of Flagstaff. This historic Route 66 town lies at the base of the largest mountain range in Arizona, the San Francisco Peaks, which we will be able to gaze upon as we continue to travel north to the Lake Powell region.

Navajo Trail Trading Post

Along our way, we will enjoy a visit to a Navajo Trading Post and explore Navajo culture and their intricate crafts.

Lower Antelope Canyon

Upon arrival to Page, Arizona, we will begin our tour of spectacular Lower Antelope Canyon. Here we will tour Lower Antelope Canyon with a local Navajo guide who will lead you through the amazing natural formations of this world-famous slot canyon. The photo opportunities will be second to none! In addition to touring Lower Antelope Canyon, we also include photo stops along the majestic Lake Powell shoreline before stopping for a group lunch in Page at one of their unique eateries.

Horseshoe Bend

After our time in Antelope Canyon and Page, we will embark upon a scenic one-mile walk to Horseshoe Bend Overlook which is highlighted by awe-inspiring views into this deeply carved channel and the Colorado River below. Photos from the edge of this natural beauty are widespread across the world and are nothing short of amazing.

I wanted to give 3.5 stars due to the cost but can only do whole numbers. We had an excellent day. Our Detours driver was Dan and he picked up 5 of us in Phoenix at 4am. Because there were only 5 of us we were in an SUV instead of a smaller bus which probably wasn't as comfortable as I was thinking it would be. Dan is a great guide and told us the history of the region and stories all the way to the canyon and back. I would recommend him to anyone. We started off at Lower Antelope Canyon using Ken's Tours as the onsite operator. The guide was awesome! He helped everyone set their cameras up properly to take in the breathtaking canyon walls and color. I can now cross this one off of my bucket list. Amazing tour that takes about 1 hour. After lunch in Page, Az (burgers were okay but not stellar) Dan drove us to Glen Dam for a while to take some photos and then we headed south to the Horseshoe Bend. It was fairly busy and we were under a time constraint. I jogged around to see the main observation area and then scrambled up the rocks over to the north to get some better views and pictures. Overall it was a great day but incredibly long if you are coming from Phoenix. Basically 4am to 8pm by the time I was back and offloaded. Detours and Dan did a great job but the day tour was incredibly expensive. Now that I've done it once I would either rent a car from Phoenix or take a much closer tour from Las Vegas and save several $100s for the day. The tour site is well marked and only costs about $50 USD for the ticket plus another $10 or $20 for the reservation pass. I paid $370 USD for the day which came to just over $500 CDN. Sad face :(
