Lower Antelope Canyon Guided Walking Tour — Page AZ Slot Canyon Experience

The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive 30 minutes early
Ken’s Tours requires check-in 30 minutes before departure—arrive early to handle tickets and avoid losing your spot.
No bags or tripods
The canyon forbids backpacks, tripods, and most camera rigs—pack only what you can carry in pockets and use a small camera or phone.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Metal stairs and sandy footing make closed-toe, grippy shoes a must—no sandals or open-toed footwear allowed.
Mind the weather
Tours cancel for unsafe weather due to flash-flood risk—check forecasts and have flexible plans around rain.
