Lower Antelope Canyon from Sedona or Flagstaff

On this full-day tour, you will visit one of the most spectacular and less visited slot canyons in the Southwest. The day begins with a scenic drive up Oak Creek Canyon (from Sedona) followed by views of Arizona’s highest mountain peaks. Your guide will share stories about the area’s history and geology along the way. Travel across the vast Navajo Nation and learn about the people and their land. Stop at Historic Cameron Trading Post with its extensive selection of souvenirs and Native American arts. Mid-morning, you’ll have an opportunity to hike to the spectacular Horseshoe Bend overlook (1.5 mi / 2.4 km r/t) where the Colorado River meanders far below. Enjoy views of Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell. The highlight of the trip is a 1-mile Navajo guided visit into Lower Antelope Canyon. Descend into the canyon via a series of steel staircases and walkways and then wind through narrow passageways as you learn about the area from your guide. Time is allotted for lunch on your own.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on this tour?

A: Yes, Arizona state law requires all children eight years and younger to be in a car seat or booster seat during the tour. If you're bringing younger kids, just make sure to have the right seats, and the tour company can help with recommendations if needed!

Q: What should we wear for the hike and canyon tour?

A: Dress in layers since the weather can change quickly in Arizona. Sturdy shoes are a must for the hike, especially at Horseshoe Bend where it's uneven terrain. A hat and sunscreen are good ideas too since you'll be in the sun quite a bit. Don't forget to bring water to stay hydrated!

Q: How does the transportation work? Is parking a hassle?

A: The tour includes pickup from most hotels in Sedona and Flagstaff, so you won't have to worry about parking at all. Just confirm your pickup location when you book. The van is air-conditioned and comfortable, perfect for the long drive to the canyon and Horseshoe Bend!

Just did the Lower Antelope Canyon tour—OMG!

I can't tell you how amazing this tour was! We started in Sedona and the drive through Oak Creek Canyon was stunning. The guide was super knowledgeable about the Navajo Nation and even shared some cool stories about the area. Walking through Lower Antelope Canyon was surreal—those colors! Just a heads up, wear good shoes for the walk, and I recommend bringing a camera. It can get pretty crowded, but totally worth it. I’d give it a 10/10 for anyone looking for a memorable day trip!

Thinking of gifting this canyon tour to my parents!

So I’m considering giving this tour as a gift to my parents for their anniversary. They love nature and hiking, but they’re in their 60s. Do you think they’d enjoy the hike to Horseshoe Bend and the canyon? Also, what’s the best time of year to do this? Any advice would be appreciated!
