Lower Antelope Canyon with a Navajo guide

A one-hour guided walk through Lower Antelope Canyon, a slot on Navajo Nation land near Page, with entry and a Navajo guide in the listing title. It is not in Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, but it is the easy slot-canyon day to pair with a White Pocket trip.

Lower Antelope Canyon with a Navajo Guide

About this experience

First, the geography. Antelope Canyon is in the Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park on Navajo Nation land, outside Vermilion Cliffs National Monument. Page is 36 miles east of the Wire Pass trailhead turn-off on US-89, per the BLM, and the BLM puts the condor viewing site about 1 hour 15 minutes from Page. Treat it as a separate day, or a half day on the way between the two.

Navajo Nation Parks says it plainly: tour guides are mandatory in Antelope Canyon. You can't walk in on your own, and there is a $15 per person tribal entry fee on top of any tour. This listing has the entry and a Navajo guide in its title, which covers both requirements in one booking. It runs 1 hour, the listing calls it a small group, and it has one of the biggest review records of any tour in the region.

Two rules surprise people: dogs are banned at all Navajo tribal parks, and Navajo Parks issues no photography or filming permits for Antelope Canyon, so every visit is a regular guided tour.

  • Entry and a Navajo guide in the listing title
  • A huge record of past guests
  • One hour, an easy fit around other plans
  • From $75 in 2026, the cheapest tour on this site
  • No lottery: you book it like any tour

Who it suits

Book it if

  • You want a slot canyon with zero permit stress
  • You only have an hour or two near Page
  • You want the tour with a huge review record
  • You're traveling between Kanab and Page and want a stop

Skip it if

  • You're claustrophobic or unsteady on stairs and narrow passages
  • You're traveling with a dog
  • You hoped for a photo-only slot tour with a tripod: no photo permits are issued
  • You want empty canyons: it's one of the busiest sites in the region

Tips before you book

  • Mind the clock. Utah and the Navajo Nation use daylight saving time, Page and the rest of Arizona don't. From March to November, check which time your booking uses.
  • Navajo tribal parks close on Thanksgiving, the day after, Christmas and New Year's Day.
  • Book ahead in spring and summer. With this many reviews, the good slots go early.
  • Plan Lower Antelope for the day before or after White Pocket, not the same day: the White Pocket tours from Kanab run 7 to 8 hours.
