Things to do in Lower Antelope Canyon

The travel time is very long, so plan your bathroom and meal breaks! The experience itself is truly amazing. 💗 The Japanese-speaking guide provided lots of interesting facts and explanations about the scenery during the trip, and also gave us helpful information about tipping, which was reassuring. At Antelope Canyon, the Navajo guides from Ken's Tours, who speak broken Japanese, showed us around and took photos for us. It was a truly special experience that I will never forget, and it's definitely worth going! I'm so glad I went. You should tip $3-$5 each time, so it's better to bring at least $10 in cash. Also, be aware that the Navajo souvenir shops don't accept credit cards, only cash. We chose this tour because it didn't depart late at night, and it turned out to be the right decision. The schedule was as follows: 6:30 AM hotel pickup -> 4.5-hour drive with a 20-minute break -> 12:10-12:30 PM dam tour at Carl Hayden Visitor Center -> 12:55-1:35 PM Horseshoe Bend -> 1:55-3:00 PM Lower Antelope Canyon -> 4.5-hour drive with a 20-minute break -> 7:00 PM hotel arrival. Arriving at the hotel at 7:00 PM meant we could even make a show starting at 8:00 PM. Booking was easy, and the experience was wonderful, so I highly recommend this tour!

Although it's an early start, it's definitely worth it! The tour guide is very professional and not only introduces the geological formations and historical background of the destination, but also describes the scenery along the way on the bus. After getting off the bus at Horseshoe Bend, you need to walk a short distance to reach it, but it's really beautiful and definitely worth it! For Antelope Canyon, you need to transfer to a van to enter, and after arriving, a local guide will take you inside for a tour. This tour combination is highly recommended! (The sandwiches distributed on the bus were also delicious.)

I would definitely recommend this tour! After carefully researching various options, I ultimately decided to go with Max Tours—and it turned out to be a very wise decision. Our guide, Corey, is friendly, professional, energetic, and thoughtful, consistently providing us with informative commentary and unlimited drinks & snacks throughout the trip. What really surprised me were the bonus stops that weren’t even mentioned in the original itinerary. I had really wanted to visit the historic Route 66, and my friend was hoping to see Lake Powell—both were included! The hotel in Page was also very nice. Of course, the main attractions—the Grand Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Lower Antelope Canyon, and Zion National Park—were absolutely incredible. The breathtaking scenery across three states, along with the wonderful group members and our excellent guide Corey (who also drove), left us with such a positive impression. Thank you for this memorable experience—I truly enjoyed the two-day tour!

I highly recommend it because you can visit many famous spots at once. It's a tour with long-distance travel, but they provide explanations and breaks at appropriate intervals during the journey, so you can complete it without difficulty! Also, the guides were very kind and I was able to relax a lot.

The itinerary was well-arranged. Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend are must-see destinations. The desert scenery along the way, with a touch of snow, was truly amazing!

導遊Lankun(Mama) set a wonderful and memorable trip. Very passionate, hospitality and lovely. Although we just have a few hours to stay in this trip. But mama always treat us (the whole group) like a baby. No worry, we always get the best. From the food, entertainment, spot, photo and to the historical stories. Anyways, if I got time and I will be join this tour again definitely.

Our tour guide, Xiao Gao, was very professional, humorous, enthusiastic, and considerate. Throughout the trip, he would constantly inform us of the specific arrangements for the next leg. He was also very experienced in quickly adjusting to unexpected weather conditions. Five-star rating!

I’m so impressed with the sights and all that we could see in one day! We were seated in a van with a small group of 10. Due to the travelling involved, this is a long tour with pickup from 4am and drop off at around 10pm.
