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.)

This tour was truly amazing. The day before, there was a blizzard at the Grand Canyon National Park, and I was worried whether the tour would proceed as planned, but they made sure it did. The travel time was extremely long, but I was able to sleep a lot thanks to the comfortable vehicle. I was also very grateful that they took us to clean restrooms. The guide took the initiative to take pictures for us at scenic spots, which created wonderful memories. It was a tour packed with all the must-see spots in the Grand Canyon, and I wholeheartedly felt that I made the right choice in choosing this tour. The hotel drop-off was also extremely helpful. For lunch, they took us to a very delicious Chinese restaurant! I highly recommend this tour!

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!

Tips Before You Visit the Upper Antelope Canyon

Book ahead of time

It's best to book your tickets early and plan your visit. You can only enter the canyon through tours, so they can fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons. 

Choose the right timing for light beams

To catch the famous light beams at their best, aim for the tours between late morning and early afternoon, between 10:30 AM and 1:00 PM from March to October. This is the time when the sun's rays hit the canyon at the perfect angle.

Wear comfortable clothes

Make sure that your clothing is easy to move in and suitable for walking on sand. Don't forget to bring a hat and apply sunscreen to shield yourself from the bright, blazing sun!

Bring your water 

Since the canyon is in a desert, it can be hot and dry. To avoid dehydration, make sure to drink plenty of water and keep yourself hydrated!

Be mindful of the environment

Always be respectful of your surroundings by following the rules set by your tour guide. It's for your safety and preservation of the canyon's beauty.

Take the best photos

Bring your camera to make the most of the stunning views! Remember to protect your equipment from the sand by using a cover or camera bag.
