Upper Antelope Canyon Tour with Navajo Guide

Upper Antelope Canyon Tour with Navajo Guide

You'll explore one of Arizona's most photographed natural wonders on this guided tour through Upper Antelope Canyon. Located just outside Page, this slot canyon features wave-like sandstone walls carved by thousands of years of flash flooding. Your Navajo guide shares traditional stories and cultural insights while leading you through chambers where light beams create stunning photographic opportunities.

The canyon's smooth corridors reveal layers of orange, red and purple sandstone that change colour throughout the day. Known by its Navajo name "Tsé bighánílíní" meaning "the place where water runs through rocks", this sacred site offers both geological wonder and cultural education. The tour takes approximately one hour with frequent stops for photography and learning about the canyon's formation and significance to the Navajo Nation.

While you're in Page, consider exploring more of the area's natural attractions with a Lower Antelope Canyon tour or venture to the nearby Horseshoe Bend for sunset viewing.

Good to Know

Tours last approximately one hour inside the canyon with sandy terrain throughout most of the walk. You'll need to climb stairs when exiting the canyon. Arrive 30 minutes early for check-in with valid photo ID required for all guests.

Children under 7 years old cannot join this tour for safety reasons. The experience is not suitable for wheelchair users or guests with limited mobility due to stairs and uneven terrain. Bags, tripods, selfie sticks and video recording are prohibited, though photography is encouraged.

Wear sturdy trainers and bring cash for tipping your guide (£3-5 per person is customary). The tour operates in small groups with limited availability, so advance booking is essential, especially during peak season.
