In shortThis antelope canyon tour from Phoenix picks you up at a Scottsdale or Phoenix hotel between 6am and 9am and runs 13–14 hours, with an hour inside Lower Antelope Canyon, an hour at Horseshoe Bend and 45 minutes in Page for the included lunch.

What the Antelope Canyon Tour From Phoenix Covers
Pickup is from any hotel or residence in the Scottsdale and Phoenix area, somewhere between 6am and 9am depending on the season and the departure you are given. The day then runs 13–14 hours door to door, and guests staying in outlying parts of the Valley should expect the longer end of that range because of the pickup and drop-off order. Prices start at $390 per adult, the rating is 4.9 ★ (115 reviews) and groups run up to 12 people.
Three things happen once you reach Page: 60 minutes inside Lower Antelope Canyon with a local Navajo guide, 60 minutes at Horseshoe Bend, and 45 minutes in town where lunch is included. Admission to both Lower Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend is in the price, so there is nothing extra to pay on arrival. Gratuities are not included.
A Navajo guide is compulsory at every Antelope Canyon location, and there is no self-guided entry anywhere in the Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park, which is exactly what this tour builds in. Lower Antelope is about 1,335 feet (407 m) long and is walked on flights of stairs and ladders with handrails bolted into the sandstone; Navajo Parks warns that it is narrow and may not suit visitors who are claustrophobic. Wear closed-toe walking shoes and bring a light layer, because the canyon floor stays cooler than the parking area.
All tour times run on Arizona time, Mountain Standard Time with no daylight saving, the same clock Phoenix keeps year round. In July, August and September the park can close at short notice because of flash-flood risk, so keep a spare half-day in the plan if you travel in those months. March to November is the busy window and slots sell out, so book this antelope canyon tour from Phoenix well ahead.

Other Phoenix-area day trips compared
This page's tour is the one to pick if you want Lower Antelope Canyon itself with a Navajo guide and Horseshoe Bend in the same day, with lunch and both admissions in the price. The second option is a similar full day from Phoenix at 14 hours. The third goes to the Grand Canyon and Sedona instead and does not enter Antelope Canyon, so choose it only if the slot canyon is not your priority.
