Las Vegas to Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend: Lower Antelope Small-Group Day Tour
A one‑day, small‑group private tour from Las Vegas that pairs the sculpted corridors of Lower Antelope Canyon with the panoramic rim of Horseshoe Bend. Expect dramatic light, Navajo-led insight, long drives, and camera-ready moments.
The Experience
Before You Go
No large bags in Antelope Canyon
Antelope Canyon does not allow large backpacks or luggage—bring a small daypack or leave bulky items on the bus.
Hydrate for the rim hikes
Bring at least 1–2 liters of water in addition to the provided bottle—the climb to Horseshoe Bend is exposed and can get very hot.
Protect your camera at the slot
Sand is fine and light beams attract crowds; use a soft lens cloth and keep camera straps secured while moving through narrow sections.
Watch your footing at viewpoints
Horseshoe Bend has steep drop-offs and limited railings—stay behind marked barriers and keep children close.
