The Experience
Before You Go
Hydration above all
Bring a 1–2 liter refillable water bottle and sip often; desert heat and higher elevation increase dehydration risk.
Sun protection is mandatory
Wide-brim hat, SPF 30+ sunscreen, and sunglasses will save your day during long exposed rim stops.
Footwear for uneven ground
Wear closed-toe shoes with good traction—sand and sandstone can be slippery, and Lower Antelope has stairs and narrow passages.
Respect Navajo rules
Follow your guide’s instructions in Antelope Canyon—no climbing on formations and ask before photographing people who are local guides.

Do I need permits to visit Lower Antelope Canyon?
Access to Lower Antelope Canyon is via guided tours only; your operator includes canyon admission and local Navajo-guided access—carry ID as required.
How long is the driving time from Las Vegas?
Expect long driving segments—approximately 4.5–5 hours each way to Page/Grand Canyon areas depending on traffic and stops.
Are tripods allowed inside Lower Antelope Canyon?
Tripod policies vary by operator and time of day; some tours restrict tripods during peak periods—ask when booking.
Is this tour suitable for children or seniors?
Yes for most; the tour is rated easy, but children and seniors should be comfortable with stairs, narrow passages, and longer vehicle transfers.
What should I wear for changing temperatures?
Layered clothing works best—mornings can be cool, midday hot, and canyon interiors noticeably cooler than exposed rims.

Light beams are seasonal and weather-dependent—most common around midday in summer; even without beams the canyon’s colors are vivid.
