Passeio pelo Antelope Canyon X e Horseshoe Bend - Ônibus aconchegante com Wi-Fi

4:50在馬蹄鐵飯店上車（原本表定是5:05，但早上有傳訊息說4:50車就會到，所以大家一定要提早準備好！） 晚上19:00結束（不知道是不是因為大家都很準時 所以導遊說比預訂的時間提早了40分鐘） 一整天坐了9個小時的車，來回都會停超市一次，午餐有附類似潛艇堡 馬蹄灣跟羚羊谷大概都各一小時的時間 會有一點點趕 一邊忙著拍照一邊又要好好欣賞這個鬼斧神工 但整體還是覺得挺不錯的 ！我覺得蠻值得 導遊偶爾會在遊覽車上講講拉斯維加斯或是羚羊谷等等的小故事。 ❗️（大家記得要看看英語導遊或中文導遊哪個便宜，當初趕著付錢選到英文導遊，結果比中文導遊貴了10美元！！😭

This tour was organized by National Park Express. The day before departure, a staff member messaged me on WhatsApp to confirm the waiting time and location. On the day of departure, the tour bus was late, but when I messaged the staff on WhatsApp, I received a quick reply. They were very communicative, and someone even responded around 5 AM. Upon boarding, we were given a bottle of water (you could get more if needed) and an energy bar for breakfast. After boarding, the male guide, Marvis, continuously provided a lot of information (he spoke for about two hours until we reached the rest stop). If you prefer to rest and catch up on sleep during the bus ride, you should be aware of this. However, if you want to learn more travel information, the guide was very detailed, witty, and humorous. The female driver, Priscilla, drove very steadily. I won't go into much detail about Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon; I believe you can refer to other online reviews. They are definitely worth visiting. As for this particular itinerary, we stayed at Horseshoe Bend for about 1 hour. It took about 25-30 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the viewpoint and back, leaving approximately half an hour for you to take photos. This was enough time for pictures, but if you want to walk further to find better spots, you should keep that in mind.

If you're picked up at the Excalibur Hotel, it's just a shuttle bus that will drop you off at a central transfer point. If your English isn't great, you can get off and ask those who are checking names. Since this tour doesn't have too many people, it's very comfortable overall; one person can easily occupy two seats. This tour only has one driver and no tour guide on board. The driver will drive straight to Utah before stopping at a large supermarket for everyone to buy something to eat. If you're worried about low blood sugar, you can bring some snacks and mineral water. The bus provides bottled water and has restrooms at the back, so you don't need to worry about toilet breaks!>>The trip to Horseshoe Bend is more exciting because there's a one-hour time difference there. The driver will ask everyone to use a stopwatch to time 1 hour and 25 minutes (if your English isn't good, listen very carefully to the instructions). You need to be back on the bus before this time ends. The driver will sternly state that they will not wait for latecomers. It takes about 15-20 minutes to walk from the parking lot to Horseshoe Bend, so you need to manage your time well for photos and calculate your return journey. It's recommended not to wear white shoes, as the red dirt there will stain them! After successfully boarding the bus, you'll be given a roasted chicken burger lunch to eat on the bus. You'll arrive at Antelope Canyon X quite quickly.>>You cannot bring any bags into Antelope Canyon. It's recommended to wear a jacket or pants with plenty of pockets so you can carry important items on your person. The driver will suggest taking your passport with you, as someone once left theirs on the car and it went missing. Upon arrival at Antelope Canyon X, you'll wait at the shuttle pick-up point for the jeeps. The same group of people who go in together must come out together. Each jeep can only seat about 8-9 people, so the bus driver will assign teams for each jeep. Be aware that the jeep ride is very bumpy and can cause motion sickness. It takes 15 minutes to reach Antelope Canyon. Once there, the local guides will again divide everyone into teams. Then, you'll have to walk up a very long, steep slope that is difficult to navigate due to the fine sand. Take plenty of photos. The local guides are very friendly; if you're good at English, you can try asking them if there are any local legends about Antelope Canyon – they're very interesting, somewhat scary stories, haha! Leaving is a challenge; you need to climb that steep slope. There are stairs next to it, but it's still very tiring. Remember to tip the local guide (I gave $5), but many Americans on the tour didn't, so I'm not sure if it's mandatory. After getting up, you'll see the jeeps. You'll need to wait for all team members to board before returning to the bus parking lot. There aren't many souvenirs to buy there, just a small cart selling Antelope Canyon X clothes and stickers. Then, it's time to head back to Las Vegas, with a stop at a supermarket in Utah where you can buy dinner. You'll arrive back at the Excalibur Hotel around 8 PM! Remember to wear headphones and listen to some American country music to experience this Western road trip!

The hotel pick-up location will have a shuttle bus to pick you up, so remember to be on time. However, their shuttle bus might be delayed. If you're worried, you can call directly to ask or ask the hotel front desk to call for you; someone will always answer the phone. Treasure Island is the most convenient place to board, as it's the gathering point for all shuttle services. Regardless of whether you choose Chinese or English, your tour guide will be English-speaking, so be prepared to practice your English listening skills. The basic itinerary will have A4 papers in both Chinese and English, but for the stories during the tour, you'll have to rely on yourself. Most importantly, you must be very punctual for the times given by the guide. Our guide, Marvin, explained things very seriously and diligently, and generally, everyone was well-behaved and punctual. For Horseshoe Bend, you need to set a stopwatch because the time zones of the two locations can be easily confused. The tour bus isn't particularly large, but if there are empty seats, you can generally occupy two seats per person. You can get food and drinks at the rest stops along the way. Both locations on the itinerary require a long walk, so you'll need sun protection, comfortable walking shoes, and a mindset that isn't afraid of heat or fatigue. Overall, it was a lot of fun and a great road trip.

風景超震撼，羚羊谷光影交錯像畫一樣美，馬蹄灣壯觀到不敢眨眼。導遊有趣又專業，拍照點都知道！雖然天氣熱爆，但絕對值得一來。

You can't miss "Antelope Canyon X and Horseshoe Bend" in this lifetime! On October 12th, we rushed to the Excalibur Hotel at 4:50 AM to gather and take the shuttle bus, then proceeded to the car distribution point. The outbound journey of 2.5 hours included a 20-minute stop at a supermarket. After another 2 hours of driving, we arrived at Horseshoe Bend, where we stayed for 75 minutes. The time was a bit tight because walking back and forth took 40-45 minutes, leaving not much time for photos, and we still had to rush back to queue for the restroom. However, Horseshoe Bend is truly spectacular and well worth a visit! Next, we had a simple lunch on the bus. After about 20 minutes of driving, visitors were first taken to Lower Antelope Canyon, then sequentially to Upper Antelope Canyon, and finally stopped at Antelope Canyon X, where we transferred to a small bus driven by Native Americans to enter. The scenery was also absolutely stunning, but because this young Native American guide seemed to be on his first tour, he barely provided any commentary along the way and didn't even tell us where to take good photos 🤨 This was the only minor drawback. The entire tour lasted about an hour, followed by a 2.5-hour drive to a supermarket for a restroom break, and then another 2-hour drive back to the meeting point, arriving around 8:30 PM... Local guide Fiona and driver Bruce were very responsible. After the tour, it is recommended to tip each of them USD 10-15.

Staying at Treasure Island is the most convenient option. You get to board the bus first. The long distance means an 8-hour round trip. After being on the bus for a while, the guide will hand out detailed sheets for Upper, Lower, and X to read, but speaks so quickly that people can't follow that they're supposed to read them to decide which one to visit, and then sign up for their chosen option. For breakfast, the tour group stops at a supermarket along the way to buy food, with ample time given. We got to visit Horseshoe Bend, with 50 minutes for walking. At Antelope Canyon, a local Native American guide led the tour, which took almost an hour. We visited Antelope X, which is easy to walk through. Lunch provided was a turkey chicken sandwich.

I enjoyed this trip very much. My tour guide Julianna is a very knowledgeable person and she provides a lot of information on our way to Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and the Glen Canyon Dam. It made my trip so interesting. The driver, John (if I remember his name correctly), was a very safe driver. I took a lot of pictures during the trip and I would recommend everyone to go on this trip if you are in Vegas.

Our Antelope Canyon X tour was incredible! A huge shoutout to our trip guide Scarlett for her amazing coordination and our driver Ita for the smooth, safe ride. Having free Wi-Fi on the bus was a fantastic bonus for staying connected. Canyon X itself is much less crowded than other spots, allowing plenty of time to capture stunning photos of the light beams and rock formations. The local guides were also very helpful with camera settings. Highly recommend this seamless and professional tour to everyone!

We received the email one day before the meeting point. The mini-bus arrived and departed on time. There's no need to arrive 15 minutes early. We were transferred to a larger bus at Treasure Island, which was a bit chaotic as many buses were heading to different destinations like the Grand Canyon, Lower Antelope, Upper Antelope, and Antelope X. Therefore, it took some time to find our bus. We went to Antelope X, which was a full 45-seater. It was a 2.5-hour ride with a 15-20 minute rest stop, followed by another 2 hours. A great thing was that the bus had toilets. Our first stop was at Horseshoe Bend, where we had 15-20 minutes for photos, and a 20-minute walk each way. Another 20 minutes were spent dropping off people for Upper and Lower Antelope. Next to Antelope X, we transferred to another jeep with 12 passengers to the Antelope Canyon. The entire experience, including the walk to Antelope X, was over an hour. Our guide, Bambi, was great; she explained very well how Antelope Canyon was formed over millions of years. Afterward, we transferred back to the big bus for the journey back to Las Vegas. During the 5-6 hour bus journey, the driver, Carlos, was driving so fast at times that we thought the bus was going to flip over because his turns were reckless or too quick. We woke up a few times, worried for our lives. Personally, as someone who drives daily, I felt 45 lives were in his hands. Lastly, the drop-off was supposed to be at one of the Horseshoe Hotels. However, due to F1 (in November, and it's currently September 24th), they were unable to drop us off there. We had to take our own Uber back to the hotel (at our own expense). We were dropped off at Treasure Island and it took us half an hour to walk back to our hotel. The staff told us it's not possible to publish this on the web. Therefore, those taking this package, please take note and be prepared to take an Uber back to your hotel.
