Secret Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend Tour

About this activity

Explore beyond the crowds: a guided walk through Secret Antelope Canyon plus an overlook of Horseshoe Bend away from the public viewpoint, in one 2.5-hour outing near Page, Arizona. From our check-in facility on Indian Route 6098, a shaded, cushioned open-air 4x4 tour truck takes you on a six-mile off-road drive across Navajo Nation land. A short walk of about 300 meters leads to the canyon; inside, the walk is flat and sandy, with time to photograph the light on the walls without being hurried. At Horseshoe Bend, the truck reaches within about 100 meters of the rim; a quarter-mile round-trip walk over sandstone brings you to the edge, 1,000 feet above the Colorado River. Groups are usually limited to 12. Horseshoe Bend Tours is Navajo-owned and has operated since 2017. The Navajo Nation permit ($15 per person) is required for every guest and is included in the price. Arrive 30 minutes early. Arizona does not observe Daylight Saving Time.

   Our shaded, open-air 4x4 tour truck takes you on a thrilling six-mile off-road adventure to the entrance of Secret Antelope Canyon, followed by a 300-meter nature walk to the stunning slot canyon. With just a small number of guests, you'll have ample time to photograph and truly immerse yourself in this magical location.

3. Horseshoe Bend · 60 min

   At Horseshoe Bend Overlook, we'll avoid the congested public parking lot and take a private dirt road that leads to within 100 meters of the edge of the canyon. This private access, not open to the general public, means a much shorter walk to the rim and breathtaking views of the Colorado River winding around the Horseshoe Bend loop.
