Traveler Tips

It was cold in the early part of the day so bundle up.

Access from the look out is a meandering descent about 1.5 km, a bit of a challenge leaving, but there are rest points and benches built in.

Pick up was 6am and drop off was 8pm but it was well worth it.

This trip is worth time and money

Amara_S, Sept 2023

Lower antelope canyon is the most picturesque location! If you have only one day in Las Vegas, choose this destination.

Nolan, was the best guide!

MARISA_D, Sept 2023

Our driver Hal, from Coexist Tours was great! He was informative during our ride to the Antelope Canyon. Nolan the guide at Bixie gave us an excellent tour of the lower Antelope Canyon! He was informative, patient with the group and assisted us in taking pictures from the best angles and set our cameras to the right settings to get impressive shots!!

Natural beauty at its best

Leslie_B, Sept 2023

We enjoyed a beautiful day visiting Antelope canyon and Horseshoe bend. Our guide Hal was wonderful. Our Navajo guide Nolan was amazing. This is a must do adventure.

Great journey

Alex_L, Sept 2023

Great journey within a day. Good organized operation, professional driver, and communications. Will recommend to my friends

Wonderful trip.

Harry_H, Sept 2023

Seeing Antelope canyon. It was beautiful. The tour guide was excellent. The ride there was long but informative.

Best Tour, with the best driver!

Lee_C, Aug 2023

What an amazing tour, made so much better by our amazing driver Ita! He does so much to make sure everyone is getting the most outta the tour, random stops away from the tourist trails, taking pictures and just a downright nice guy with superb knowledge of the local area. It's a long day, as you would expect. But worth every second. The scenery is incredible. Highly recommended. We were so impressed, that we booked the next day to Zion and Bryce on the way back!

good trip better communication needed

David_O, Aug 2023

The tour driver was the hero of this adventure. Communication from the tour group/ organization was poor. They provided a google map link for the meeting site that ended up being in the middle of the Palazzo casino floor. The phone numbers in the confirmation email were to the hotel and to the tour service both of which were worthless at 0500 (no one answers). The big confusion was the meeting site was listed as the Palazzo at The Venetian Hotel -- I was staying at the Venetian, I went to the Venetian tour pick up location, they told me to go to the Palazzo pickup location, who then told me to go back to the Ventian. I used the link in the email which openned in the middle of the casino floor. I tried both phone numbers listed in the email confirmation. The driver finally called me directly and helped me get to the Palazzo pickup location (same place I went before). Then we drove around to the Venetian pickup location (where I started from). all said and done, this would have been eaiser if a working phone number was available or if a phone call / text message from the tour would have been sent the day before. For the $$$ spent on this tour, it certainly would have made the start of the tour less stressful. It is a long day (for this tour) and the driver did a great job using the 55 min wait at the Lower Canyon to our advantage by picking up lunch first and eating it there.

I personally really like...

Clara_C, Aug 2023

I personally really like same group, highly recommend. The guide is very knowledgeable, and really knows how to take good photos

It really does look like that!

Hilary_S, Aug 2023

Awesome colours and shapes - really beautiful. Minivan ride was great, there were issues with the van, but the company worked incredibly hard to sort it all out and we got on our way. Driver was brilliant - best driving out of all of my day trips. Constant supply of water. Comfort breaks and food breaks incorporated into the journey. Well worth a visit and I would do it again, but did feel a bit like part of a conga - you just followed the person in front and sometimes time for pictures was cut short. If you want your ideal photo, try to be at the front or back of your group. You cannot take anything other than a bottle of water and a camera into the canyon so chose clothes wisely as one set of stairs is nearly vertical.

Highly recommend!!...

Pamela_E, Aug 2023

Highly recommend!! Especially with "Kurt" as your guide!! There aren't words for this incredible experience!! The guide plays such an important role and Kurt was thoughtful, kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and made sure we had an alternative plan when we found out Antelope Canyon was closed due to excessive rain the night before. Kurt worked with his team and in minutes we were rerouted to Peekaboo Canyon!!! Spectacular experience, including the guys there that ATVd us down to the canyon. Spectacular experience all around!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5 hours without Airco in the bus in over 40 degrees Celsius, I dont think it need more explanations...

Eva_C, Aug 2023

The tour was OK but sitting in a bus for 5 hours without airco is not acceptable in over 40 degrees Celsius...... it was a nightmare. After 4 hours they sent another bus with the same problem.... actually as the driver did not stop to try to make it work it was even worse. Be careful when you reserv your tours The company proposing the tour should make sure their equipment is in a working condition. Specially it is a pricy tour and you would expect a little extra. Sorry it was horrible and killed the beauty of the rest of the tour

Fantastic tour! Must not miss!

Kelvin_T, Aug 2023

Tour was ran very smoothly! Our guide was Kurt and he planned our itinerary with minimal waiting time. Also always ensuring we are well-hydrated throughout the journey. Mini-coach is spacious and comfy!

Amazing tour, highly recommend

Maria_C, Aug 2023

The tour is worderful. We stopped in several places and each one is amazing with beautiful views. The tour is well planned, the vehicle is comfortable and our guide Kurt is super nice and friendly. Have to compliment out Navajo guide Tony at the Antelope Canyon too, super friendly and funny, thought us so many tricts on how to take amazing photos. Highly recommend this small group tour.

Gods Creation

nicole_f, Jul 2023

This is a must see if your are in the Vegas area. It is well worth the 14 hour day. This was amazing to see in person. Pictures do not do it Justice. Our guide on the Canyon (Xavier) was amazing and our driver (Kurt) was so personable and knowledgeable on this trip. He made the drive so tolerable

Beautiful and educative

Joyline_L, Jul 2023

The guides were very friendly and the whole experience of the tour was so educative and eye catching. Will definately come again whena chance comes up. Thanks for the wonderful time we had. The pictures were so beautiful too.

Great Experience

Donald_S, Jul 2023

This was a great tour and very well organized, I highly recommend this tour for anyone who is interested in exploring both Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend, both sites are just breathtaking and worth the long trip. Thank you Viator for the wonderful experience

10 out of 10!! Highly recommend!

Michelle_J, Jul 2023

It was a really good experience. The transportation was excellent and our driver Kurt was entertaining, educational, and exciting. We arrived at every point on time or earlier to ensure we get the most out of the trip. At Antelope X, our guide Matt was awesome and very helpful with the history of the canyons, taking pictures, and even showcasing how the canyons were made with a DIY project with just sand and water! Pick up and drop off at the door of the hotels and overall an amazing experience with not only the monuments, but the service as well.

Organized and fun tour

Mutsumi_B, Jul 2023

Well-organized tour. The tour guide always kept us informed of what was coming, interesting background information. The whole tour was well prepared, informative, and enjoyable. We highly recommend.

Great experience was very...

Vithy, Jul 2023

Great experience was very paranoid as was cancelled years ago but so happy and satisfied all worked out. Amazing and breathtaking.

Awesome day trip!

Karen_P, Jul 2023

Awesome day trip. It was an early pick up and a very long day, but totally worth it in the end. Anthony, our guide was fantastic. We had enough stops on the way there and back to use the washroom as needed, and got us to and from in a timely way. Horseshoe Bend was beautiful, a bit of a walk in the Summer heat, but worth it for the view. Antelope Canyon was absolutely amazing and our Navajo guide was great as well. He took photos for everyone in all of the good spots. I was solo, so this was super helpful, overall a fantastic experience well worth the long trip from Las Vegas.
