We recently went to Arizona and tried all of the Antelope Canyon tours, including the two main sections: Upper Canyon and Lower Canyon. This is our complete review from the Lower Antelope Canyon.
If you haven’t heard of Antelope Canyon, it’s a narrow passage in the desert with smooth, curving walls of orange and purple sandstone. This chamber was carved by wind and water over the course of many years, leaving the beautiful slot canyon you can see today. One important thing to note is that Antelope Canyon is located on the Navajo reservation, so unfortunately the only way to visit it is with a tour and a local Navajo guide. However, since this place has become such a popular bucket list item nowadays, the tour system is basically needed anyway for crowd control.
In this review of the Lower Antelope Canyon, I’ll share my experiences and photos from our tour, and then I’ll explain the best time to visit, and everything else you need to know before you go!
Best Lower Antelope Canyon Tours
We booked our Lower Antelope Canyon tour with GetYourGuide and had a great experience. The price includes your entry tickets, Navajo permit fee, and a local Navajo guide. Everything was communicated clearly by email, and they have a refund policy if you need to cancel in advance.
They also have tours for Upper Antelope Canyon, Antelope X, and some of the more specialized canyons in the same area that get less visitor traffic than the main canyons.
We’ve used GetYourGuide for lots of tours and activities around the world, and they’re great. Highly recommended!
