Small Group Antelope Canyon Day Trip from Phoenix in Scottsdale booking from $395.00

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.

Well organised and worth a trip. Diane from Detours was a great guide and driver. Marquetta was our Dixie lower antelope canyon guide and she was very helpful with pictures and information.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with DETOURS. Antelope Canyon can be quite the elusive bucket list item, so it is always a good day when we can take a group out to that beautiful landmark. Hope to see you again soon! Until then, Nathan DETOURS

Detour was very well organised. Early pick up but definitely worth the trip even just to see the Antelope Canyon. We are part of a group of 12 in total on a big van that was comfortable. Diane was a great host and driver from Detour. Our tour guide Marquetta Taylor at the Dixie lower antelope canyon tour was fantastic and helped us with some amazing photos.

What we thought was going to be the highlight of our vacation ended up being the low point. We were up at 4:30am ready for a 5:00am departure only to arrive 2 hours early at our destination. Understandably extra travel time needs to be built in BUT they should have a contingency if you are on time as we were. We ended up spending time in a Walmart. When we went back to check in at Antelope Canyon, they canceled all tours for remainder of day due to weather. The most disappointing aspect of this was that i called a few days earlier with weather concerns asking to change our date and was assured that it would be fine. The National Weather Service issued a wind advisory at 2:42 that morning. This should be something that is checked before picking up clients. The remainder of the day was just awful. The winds were blowing the sand so hard it physically hurt to get out of the car. See attached photo. The drive back was dangerous and the sights we were driven to were basically a drive by. Out of a 13 hour day, we spent 10 hours in the car. I was hoping a company with such good reviews would stand by their reputation and make their customers happy. I was not asking to be refunded any of the expenses of tour guide, gas etc and was only hoping for a fair refund. What they offered was a token and did not make me feel they cared. I chose this company because they seemed like a small company who truly cared about their customers when in actuality they treat you as a transaction. It shows a lot about a company how they handle things when the day does not go as planned. Please know you are taking a risk when booking these adventures.

Hello Ms. Dulac, We understand that you did not end up with the experience that you expected. After years of touring Antelope Canyon, the cancellation that you experienced was very difficult to anticipate. Rain and snow are the most common factors for a cancellation, by far. We would never cancel this tour for wind, because in our experience, wind has never been a reason that Antelope Canyon has cancelled their tours. When you called a few days before your tour to inquire about the weather, there were no signs that Antelope could be canceled, or any signs that a windstorm was going to happen, as we pay very close attention to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasts. We do thank you for warning us that you would be issuing a negative review if we did not refund enough of your tour price. We did refund more than was required, in the face of this rare wind cancellation. Thank you, Management
