Planning a day trip from Sedona to Page requires a bit of preparation due to the remote desert locations and long travel times. Here is what you need to know before securing your spot.
These are extensive day tours. If departing from Sedona or the Village of Oak Creek, expect the trip to last around 11.5 hours, usually running from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Flagstaff departures are slightly shorter at about 9.5 hours.
Travelers need a moderate level of fitness. You must be able to walk 1.5 miles on the Horseshoe Bend trail and navigate unpaved, sandy, and uneven terrain for 90 minutes inside Antelope Canyon. Some canyons also require climbing steep ladders.
Pay close attention to the terms when booking. The majority of these tours have a strict "all sales are final" policy, meaning no refunds are available for cancellations. A select few premium tours offer a 24-hour cancellation window.
Most tours have a minimum age requirement of 5 or 6 years old. Additionally, Arizona state law requires all children 8 years and younger to be in a car seat or booster seat, and guests must provide their own.
While bottled water is provided throughout the day, lunch is typically not included in the base tour price. Tours usually allocate time for you to purchase lunch on your own, though a few higher-priced options include a picnic lunch.
While Horseshoe Bend has an ADA-compliant viewing platform, the Antelope Canyon portion of the tour is not wheelchair accessible. Guests must be fully ambulatory to participate in the slot canyon walks. Service dogs are generally not permitted by the Navajo Parks.
Complimentary hotel pickup and drop-off are included, but you must be staying within the city limits of Sedona, Village of Oak Creek, or Flagstaff. You must provide your hotel information at least 72 hours prior to the tour date.

The Horseshoe Bend parking lot and trailhead are open 365 days a year, from sunrise to sunset. This includes all major holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day.
Visitors are not allowed to enter the parking lot before sunrise or after sunset. However, if you are already inside the park watching the sunset, you are permitted to stay and hike back to your vehicle in the dark.
For the guided tour portions at Antelope Canyon, access is strictly regulated by Navajo Parks and Recreation, and entry is only permitted during your scheduled tour time with a certified guide.
When booking a tour from Sedona, transportation is handled for you. Tour operators provide complimentary pickup from hotels and residential addresses within the city limits of Sedona, the Village of Oak Creek, and Flagstaff.
Pickups in Sedona usually begin early, between 6:00 AM and 6:30 AM. If you are being picked up in Flagstaff, expect your guide to arrive between 7:00 AM and 7:30 AM.
If you choose to drive yourself to Horseshoe Bend, it is located at mile marker 544 on U.S. Highway 89, just south of Page, AZ. It is roughly a 125-mile drive north from Flagstaff, taking about two hours.
The most comfortable weather occurs during the fall (late September to early November) and spring (April and May). During these months, the desert temperatures are mild, making the exposed hikes much safer and more enjoyable.
Summer months (June through August) are the worst time to visit due to extreme heat. Temperatures regularly exceed 100°F (38°C), and the Horseshoe Bend trail offers almost zero shade, posing a severe risk of heat exhaustion.
For photography at Horseshoe Bend, late afternoon (between 4:30 PM and 6:00 PM from spring through fall) is ideal. The sun lifts the river out of deep shadows and casts a warm orange glow on the canyon walls.
Horseshoe Bend is partially wheelchair accessible. A 2020 trail renovation added an ADA-compliant path on the left branch, featuring a gentler grade and a packed surface leading to a fenced viewing platform. However, manual wheelchairs will likely need a push on the return uphill leg.
Antelope Canyon is not wheelchair accessible. The 90-minute walking tours require navigating unpaved, sandy terrain, uneven surfaces, and sometimes steep ladders or narrow passageways.
Tour operators require all guests to be fully ambulatory for the walking portions of the trip. The tours are also not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with spinal or cardiovascular issues.
Facilities at Horseshoe Bend are very limited. There are vault toilets located at the south end of the parking lot near the trailhead, but there is no running water or restrooms available along the trail or at the canyon rim.
The 0.6-mile path to the overlook features two covered shade structures with wooden seating where visitors can rest, but otherwise, the trail is completely exposed to the sun.
Because there are no water fountains on site, it is critical to bring your own water. Tour operators generally provide bottled water in the van throughout the day, but you must carry it with you on the hikes.
Tours departing from Sedona and the Village of Oak Creek typically last about 11.5 hours, usually running from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. If you are picked up in Flagstaff, the duration is slightly shorter, taking about 9.5 hours.
Yes, standard admission and entrance fees for both Antelope Canyon and the Horseshoe Bend parking area are included in the price of your guided tour.
Most tours do not include lunch in the base price, though time is allotted for you to purchase food on your own. A few select premium tours do include a picnic lunch, so check your specific tour's inclusions.
Children are allowed, but the minimum age for most tours is 5 or 6 years old. Arizona state law requires all children 8 years and younger to be in a car seat or booster seat, and parents must provide their own.
