Before reserving your spot, there are a few strict rules and logistical details you need to know about visiting these protected Navajo and National Park lands.
Most options are half-day combo tours lasting between 3 to 5 hours. They typically include round-trip transport from Page in an air-conditioned van or open-air truck, guided access to a slot canyon, and a guided or self-guided walk to Horseshoe Bend.
Tours will specify which part of Antelope Canyon you visit. Upper Antelope is famous for light beams and is flat, Lower Antelope requires navigating stairs and ladders, and Secret Antelope offers a much quieter, less crowded experience.
Almost all of these tours have a strict 'all sales are final' policy. Refunds are not issued for no-shows, late arrivals, traffic delays, or misjudging travel times. You must arrive 10 to 30 minutes early for check-in.
Tours generally cover the entrance fees to both Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon, plus bottled water and transport. However, always check the fine print, as a few tours require you to purchase the Navajo Nation permit separately online.
Antelope Canyon has incredibly strict rules regarding gear. Bags, backpacks, tripods, monopods, and selfie sticks are completely banned on the canyon tours. You can only bring a handheld camera or your phone.
These tours require walking on uneven, sandy terrain for up to 90 minutes at a time. Because of the bumpy off-road transport to the canyons and the walking involved, tours are not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with spinal or cardiovascular issues.
Arizona state law requires children 8 years and younger to be in a car seat or booster seat, which you must provide yourself. Additionally, some specific tours (like the Secret Antelope tour) do not permit children under 6 years old.

Horseshoe Bend: The entrance gate and parking lot are open year-round, 365 days a year, from sunrise to sunset. This includes major holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. Fee collectors are on-site during these hours. You cannot enter the lot before sunrise or after sunset, but if you are already inside, you can stay past sunset to finish your visit.
Antelope Canyon Tours: Tour times vary by operator, but departures typically run from early morning (around 8:00 AM) through mid-afternoon (around 3:00 PM). Be aware of the time zone: from March to November, Antelope Canyon operates on Pacific Time (same as Los Angeles), but from November to March, it is one hour ahead of Pacific Time.
Driving: Page, Arizona is the central hub for these tours. It is a 125-mile drive north from Flagstaff via US-89 (about 2 hours), or a 280-mile drive from Las Vegas (about 4.5 hours). The Horseshoe Bend trailhead is located at mile marker 544 on US-89, just south of Page.
Flying: You can take a direct flight via Contour Airlines into Page Municipal Airport (PGA) from Phoenix or Las Vegas. Fares start around $29 one-way. From the airport, you can rent a car from Avis.
Tour Departures: Most guided combo tours depart directly from Page. Common meeting spots include the Walmart parking lot on Haul Road, specific tour offices on US-89, or direct hotel pickups depending on the operator.
Best Months: The ideal time to visit is during the fall (late September to early November) or spring (April and May). The weather is much milder, making the exposed desert hikes significantly more comfortable.
Worst Months: Summer (June through August) is brutal. Temperatures regularly exceed 100°F (38°C), and the trails offer virtually no shade, posing a severe risk of heat exhaustion.
Time of Day: For photography at Horseshoe Bend, late afternoon (4:30 PM to 6:00 PM) is best to avoid deep shadows on the river. For Antelope Canyon, midday tours (10:30 AM to 1:00 PM) are famous for capturing the iconic light beams in Upper Antelope.
Horseshoe Bend: The site is partially wheelchair accessible. The left branch of the trail (added in 2020) is an ADA-compliant, hard-packed sand path leading to a fenced viewing platform. Power wheelchairs can navigate it easily, but standard manual wheelchairs will likely need a push on the uphill return.
Antelope Canyon: The slot canyons are not wheelchair accessible. Visitors must be ambulatory and capable of walking on uneven, loose sand for up to 90 minutes. Lower Antelope Canyon also involves climbing steep metal stairs and ladders.
Medical Restrictions: Due to the bumpy off-road transport to the canyons and the physical nature of the walks, these combo tours are strictly not recommended for pregnant travelers, those with spinal injuries, or individuals with poor cardiovascular health.
Restrooms: There are vault toilets located at the south end of the Horseshoe Bend parking lot near the trailhead. There are absolutely no restrooms along the trail or at the canyon rim.
Water: There are no water fountains or sinks at Horseshoe Bend or at the Antelope Canyon entrances. You must bring your own water. Most tour operators provide bottled water, but it is highly recommended to carry at least 1 liter per person.
Shade: The Horseshoe Bend trail features two covered shade structures with wooden seating where hikers can rest. Otherwise, the trail and rim are completely exposed to the sun.
Most combo tours include the $10 Horseshoe Bend parking fee and the Antelope Canyon admission tickets. However, a few tours require you to purchase the Navajo Nation permit separately online, so always read the specific tour inclusions carefully.
You can bring a bag in the tour van, but bags, backpacks, and purses of any kind are strictly prohibited inside Antelope Canyon. You will need to leave them in the vehicle during the canyon walking portion of the tour.
The round-trip hike to the Horseshoe Bend overlook is about 1.5 miles. It takes most visitors 15 to 20 minutes to walk each way on a mostly flat, hard-packed sand path with one gentle hill.
Tripods, monopods, and selfie sticks are completely banned inside Antelope Canyon to prevent traffic jams in the narrow corridors. You are allowed to use a tripod at Horseshoe Bend, though space on the rim can be crowded.
No. Tour operators explicitly state that these combo tours are not recommended for pregnant travelers due to the bumpy off-road ride to the canyons and the physical exertion required in the desert heat.
Tour operators enforce a strict 'all sales are final' policy. If you are late or miss your tour due to traffic or misjudging the time zone, you will not receive a refund. It is highly recommended to arrive 10 to 30 minutes early.
Policies vary by operator. Some tours, like the Secret Antelope tour, do not permit children under 6. For tours that do allow children, Arizona law requires any child 8 years old or younger to be in a car seat, which you must provide yourself.
While heavy hiking boots aren't strictly necessary, sturdy, closed-toe shoes are essential. The trails feature loose sand and slick sandstone, making sandals or flip-flops highly impractical and unsafe.
There are vault toilets at the Horseshoe Bend parking lot, but there are no restrooms or running water along the trail or at the overlook itself. Make sure to use the facilities before starting your walk.
No, there is no trail leading down to the Colorado River from the overlook. The canyon walls are a sheer 1,000-foot vertical drop, making any attempt to climb down extremely dangerous and illegal.
