Private Antelope Canyon Tour from Phoenix & Scottsdale

Learn about Navajo culture from a local Native American guide and check out the quaint desert town of Page, Arizona. Your tour begins with a convenient pickup at your hotel or private residence, and then heads through the Sonoran Desert toward the mountain city of Flagstaff, which rests just beneath the sacred San Francisco Peaks, the largest mountain range in Arizona. On your journey, you have a chance to stop at a Navajo trading post to learn about Navajo culture and see how their intricate crafts are made.

Explore Lower Antelope Canyon

Your next stop is the spectacular Antelope Canyon, a slot canyon of deep red-rock chasms that were created by water erosion over thousands of years. Walk through the canyon with a local Navajo guide who presents the important history, culture, and geology of the region. Bask in the sunlight that filters down through the narrow cracks above as you wander through the narrow walkways that lie between the massive orange walls surrounding you.

Horseshoe Bend Overlook

You will embark upon a scenic 1.5 mile round-trip walk to Horseshoe Bend Overlook which is highlighted by awe-inspiring views into this deeply carved channel and the Colorado River below. Photos from the edge of this natural beauty are widespread across the world and are nothing short of amazing.
