Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon Tour with Horseshoe Bend

What the Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon tour includes

The Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon tour is one very long day out of Las Vegas that strings together three places most visitors try to see on separate trips. You get two viewpoints on the Grand Canyon South Rim, the Colorado River bend at Horseshoe Bend, and a guided walk through a slot canyon on Navajo land. It costs from $346 per adult, runs 17 to 19 hours, carries up to 12 people and is rated 4.8 ★ (1702 reviews).

Inside the canyon you walk with a local Navajo guide, either in Antelope Canyon X or in Lower Antelope Canyon. The operator decides which of the two on the day, so treat this as a slot canyon visit rather than a booking for one specific canyon. A Navajo guide is compulsory at every Antelope Canyon location and there is no self-guided access, which is why the canyon hour is handed over to a local guide while your driver waits outside.

Horseshoe Bend means a 1.2 km (0.75 mile) sandy trail each way to the cliff edge, about 1,000 feet above the river, and roughly 40 to 45 minutes on site. At the South Rim you stop at two viewpoints such as Lipan Point, Bright Angel or Yavapai Point, with about 1 hour and 40 minutes in the park, 40 minutes of that spent sightseeing. Lunch is a sandwich handed out en route; say in advance if you need the vegan or gluten-free option.

Two practical points before you choose a date. Arizona ignores daylight saving while Nevada does not, so the gap between Las Vegas time and canyon time changes in summer and your confirmed pick-up time is the only one to work from. Between 15 June and 30 September the park can close at short notice because of flash-flood risk, so keep a spare half-day in reserve if you travel in July, August or September.

Non-U.S. residents pay an additional national park entrance fee, and gratuities for the driver, guide and canyon guide are not covered. Closed-toe walking shoes and a light layer are worth packing, since the slot canyon interior stays cool even when Page sits near its July average maximum of 96.0 °F.

The day step by step

1. Las Vegas
   Pick-up is from one of two designated locations, the Bellagio Hotel and Casino or Circus Circus Hotel and Casino. Choose your preferred departure time at checkout; the exact meeting time and pick-up details arrive once the booking is confirmed.
2. Horseshoe Bend 60 min
   Horseshoe Bend lies within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, where the Colorado River swings around a tight curve more than 1,000 feet below the rim. A 1.2 km (0.75 mile) sandy trail leads out to the cliff edge, and most visitors spend 40 to 45 minutes there taking photographs.
3. The Colorado River
   A quieter stop for Grand Canyon views, looking down on the river as it threads between red rock walls.
4. Grand Canyon South Rim 60 min
   Two viewpoints on the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, chosen from Lipan Point, Bright Angel and Yavapai Point, plus a gift shop stop for souvenirs and snacks. Lunch is provided en route and the park visit lasts about 1 hour and 40 minutes, including 40 minutes of sightseeing.
5. Seligman 30 min
   A 30 minute break in Seligman or Williams on the way back to Las Vegas, two small Route 66 towns with old roadside signs and diners worth a few photographs.
6. Antelope Canyon 60 min
   A local Navajo guide leads the group through either Antelope Canyon X or Lower Antelope Canyon, where light drops between narrow sandstone walls onto the carved curves. Tripods and monopods are banned in the canyons, so shoot handheld with a phone or camera.

Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon tour options compared

This one-day version is the cheapest way to see all three landmarks from Las Vegas at $346, and also the hardest on your body, with 17 to 19 hours of it. The two-day departures cost from $400 and $425, add an overnight and, in the Zion itinerary, a fourth park, which means more time standing at viewpoints and less time sitting in a vehicle. The Desert View jeep tour at $169 stays inside the Grand Canyon and never reaches Antelope Canyon, so it only makes sense if you are already near the South Rim.
