★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 163 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $45Best value

Antelope Canyon X Hiking Tour (with Option Upgrade to Photo Tour)

5.Antelope Canyon X Hiking Tour (with Option Upgrade to Photo Tour)

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 161 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $89

Ride a 4WD vehicle from Page to Antelope Canyon X, then walk through two sculpted slot canyon sections with a Navajo guide. The standard tour lasts about 90 minutes. Upgrade to the 2.5-hour photography option if you want tripod time, extra pauses, and more help finding strong photo angles.

“Message to viator team: I was unable to contact you directly as the help center button does not work. Overall, we had a great experience, but the ticket specifically states max 10 people per group and this was exceeded on our tour. At this ticket price for 1.5 hours, I would expect such guarantees to be kept. Experience: the tour was well-organized and the canyon and guide were great. It’s a 15 min van ride to the canyon, a long staircase down and then a couple of hundred meters through the canyon. It’s all pretty flat, an easy walk. The guide took our picture and gave tips as well. Just…”

“My 15 year old son took the “tour” and learned so much. It’s definitely more of a workshop with lots of instruction on how to best use your camera features. The small group size (in his case only 2 people) meant everyone got individual time. His instructor was super experienced and got him thinking on how he could use this hobby to earn a living.”
