Recreation is king at Lake Powell with excellent boating, water skiing, jet-skiing, kayaking, and fishing. Boat tours grant visitors a leisurely overview of the lake and its landscapes, or you can charter your own boat for the day. You can also admire Lake Powell from the air by airplane or helicopter tour. A trip to Lake Powell is often combined with other top Arizona sights, including the Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, and Horseshoe Bend.

Marvelous!
Wow! What am amazing experience. My family really enjoyed seeing the canyon from above during the plane ride but also seeing it from the river during the raft ride. The truck ride in between to antelope canyon was an awesome side experience. Each location had a great tour guide that was very knowledgeable and made the experience that much better!! Would recommend!

Upper/Lower Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Lake Powell & Lunch
It’s a long day. There was easily 1-1.5hr that could be cut off by removing 20 min rest stops and visiting Lake Powell. Antelope and Horseshoe are fantastic (again too long spent waiting at Horsehaoe). Lunch is just a 6” subway sub and water. You’ll need to get or bring extra food as you leave at 5am and don’t get back until 730. Don was a fine host, but I’d streamline the itinerary a bit
Wonderful Trip

Arizona Highlights - Antelope Canyon and Lake Powell Flight with River Rafting
Highly recommend!!! Long day but saw a lot!! Plane ride was smooth and it was beautiful to soar over the canyon. Jeep ride to Antelope Canyon was fun. Our guide at Antelope Canyon was great and she guided us in taking great pictures. The rafting down the Colorado River was not white water rafting, it was a calm raft which was fine. It got us on the Colorado River and it was a different perspective. Glad we did it!!!!

Both view of Antelope and Horseshoe are magnificent. Breathe taking memories for the entire family. Left early from Las Vegas and came back just on time for dinner. We got a little crowded inside the van, and i wished we had enough room to move around.

It was one of the greatest tour I have ever had. I would say the experience was well worth the money. My tour guide for that day was pretty nice, he took good cares of us ensuring we had the best experience. The Lower Antelope Canyon must see once in a life! It is the real masterpiece.

Arizona Highlights - Antelope Canyon and Lake Powell Flight with River Rafting
This was an amazing trip of a lifetime (in a lifetime of amazing trips--I've been to Alaska, the Galapagos, all over Africa, all over South America, all over Europe, all over the Mediterranean. Honestly, this may have been one of the most awe inspiring trips ever! I saw the stunning beauty of my own country, learned an enormous amount from very knowledgeable guides and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Granted, it wasn't cheap but it was completely worth every penny. The flight over the Grand Canyon was as incredible as anything could ever be. Antelope Canyon was more amazing in person than any photo can ever show. The raft trip down from Lake Powell through Glen Canyon to the Grand Canyon was both awesome and informative. If you have the money and you will be in the area, you should do it!
