Antelope Canyon tickets and tours

At Antelope Canyon, discover the spectacular scenery of one of the most iconic and photographed canyon slots in the world. Comprised of 2 canyons, the upper and lower, you will admire dreamlike landscapes of changing colors, moving sands and the alluring sunbeams. This incredible canyon has been created over millions of years of relentless forces of nature including, water erosion and wind slowing carving the sandstone into unmissable forms, textures and shapes.

A quick 2 to 4-hour drive from the Grand Canyon or Las Vegas, you can only access the canyon slots with a Navajo guide. The canyons are protected by the Navajo Parks and Recreation and since 1997 only authorized tour companies can take visitors to the canyon to assist in the locations preservation and for the safety of its visitors.

The upper canyon is easily the most visited of the 2 canyons. This canyon slot is widely popular for its dramatic light beams that guarantee stunning photographs. You can join a 1-hour guided tour or book a 2-hour photography tour if you wish to explore the cave with more time and a tripod! Be sure to book in advance as these tours sell out fast, especially in the summer months from April to September, when the light is most visible between 10.00am to 1.00pm.

For the more adventurous nature lover, hike through the lower Antelope canyon. This second location is usually less crowded (and cheaper) due to its accessability. Traverse the noticeably more narrow canyon using a series of passageways connected by ladders. The lower canyon is definitely the more fun canyon to visit!

Before heading to Antelope Canyon, stop at Horseshoe Bend overlook to catch the sun rising on across the meandering Colorado River. The journey will require a 1.5 mile roundtrip walk over sand and rocks, but are well worth the effort! Arrive as early at 5.30am, you will not be the only one, to reach a 1000 ft canyon looking down the might River in the bottom of Glen Canyon.
