Day 1: Combo - Secret Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend Overlook
Antelope Canyon
The popular prismatic slot canyon is located on Navajo Native American land near Page, Arizona and is divided into upper and lower sections. Antelope Canyon was shaped by rainwater erosion of Navajo Sandstone and is only accessible through a guided tour. Often referred to as Corkscrew Canyon, this beautiful natural attraction features a rainbow of colors making it a favorite locations for photographers.
Horseshoe Bend
Horseshoe Bend is the meander of the Colorado River, located near the town of Page, Arizona, named after its Horseshoe shape. It is located in the Glen Canyon Recreational Area, 5 miles downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell. Many come to see the Horseshoe Bend and overlook 42,000 feet on the Bend via the steep cliff above the meander.
Secret Antelope Canyon is part of the Antelope Canyon system and is still an undiscovered gem with group sizes that are limited to just a fraction of Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons. You will enjoy the full experience of the Secret Antelope Canyon Tour, a scenic, off-road journey to a peacefully quiet and secluded location on the Navajo Nation, where you will be able to explore and photograph one of the longest tour-able and most beautiful sandstone slot canyons available.
Additionally, you will enjoy one of the most iconic and breath-taking views of the Colorado River as you stand near the edge of a 1000 foot drop down sheer sandstone cliffs to the winding river below. You will make memories and photos to last a lifetime!
This tour includes BOTH a visit to the amazing “Secret Antelope” Canyon and the breathtaking Horseshoe Bend Overlook. Secret Antelope Canyon is part of the Lake Powell, Antelope Canyon system and is still an undiscovered gem with group sizes that are limited to just a fraction of Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons.
It begins with boarding a shaded, open-air, 4x4 tour truck and taking a short three-mile drive from Page, AZ on Highway 89. From here, you will exit the highway and enjoy a thrilling six-mile off-road adventure drive through sandy washes, rolling hills to arrive south of Lake Powell in Antelope Canyon. There you will enjoy a 300-meter nature walk to the entrance of one of the longest slot canyons to be toured on the Navajo Nation. You will have up to an hour to photograph and meander through the slot canyon and back out to the vehicle for the return ride back to the Horseshoe Bend Overlook on Navajo land.
We will avoid the congested public parking lot for the Overlook, and will take a private dirt road which leads to within 100 meters of the edge of the canyon. From here, you will have a much shorter walk to the rim and from there be able to stroll along the side of a 1000 foot drop. The undulating sandstone provides various angles and views of the Colorado River as it meanders around a rock promontory, creating the Horseshoe Bend loop beloved by visitors and photographers from around the world. This portion of the tour lasts approximately an hour and allows for phenomenal picture taking. From here, we will return to our office near Antelope slot canyon in Page, AZ.

Amazing experience in Page
Amazing experience in a small group of 12 people. Definitely worth the money to experience such beautiful scenery. Tour guide was knowledgeable and funny.

Our guide Tomasita was the best sharing her story and the canyon’s story. Beat the crowds We were given as much time as we wanted and we were never rushed. Plus we got super tips for when taking the pics! Simply amazing!
Fun for all ages
A great mix of beautiful sights and learning about the Navajo culture. Our guide made the drive to the canyon a lot of fun. Our photos of the canyon are so beautiful they don't look real! The view of Horseshoe Bend is amazing! We could see the viewing area available to the public, and it was a lot farther away. Our guide was knowledgeable and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend.
Great guide and beautiful experience

DO I NEED TO TIP MY TOUR GUIDE?
2023-01-30 08:24Tips are always appreciated. We ultimately hope to provide an amazing experience that is worthy of a tip.
Is the walk difficult?
2023-03-05 07:29No. The walk is a level 1/4 mile in and the same 1/4 mile back out. We compare it to a walk on a sandy beach - overall very low difficulty.
Can I bring a drone?
2023-04-30 06:44No. The Navajo Parks and Recreation do not allow drones to be flown in these sensitive areas.
Can I join the tour if I'm pregnant?
2023-04-30 07:17Please follow your doctor's orders. For safety reasons associated with driving through some bumpy and rough terrain in order to access the canyon, we highly discourage pregnant women from participating. Ultimately it's your decision.
Can I bring a backpack?
2023-05-01 06:44Yes. Small backpacks (day packs) are permitted, but large backpacks are not. With the canyon being narrow in some sections and with multiple people wearing Large backpacks it not only scratches the canyon walls but can hit other people inside the canyon as well.
Best time ever!
Secret Antelope Canyon was awesome! The ride to and from was so much fun in their open air trucks. Small group and we had the whole place to ourselves. The next tour doesn't show up until you are on the way out. Plenty of time to slowly make your way thru and take tons of pictures. Our guide TK was terrific!! I would recommend this tour to everyone!
