Private Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend Luxury Day Tour from Las Vegas
A luxury day trip from Las Vegas that pairs a Golden Time guided walk through Lower Antelope Canyon with the dramatic overlook at Horseshoe Bend. Travel in a Mercedes Sprinter with a Navajo guide and expect a long but photography-rich day.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate for a long day
Carry at least 2 liters of water per person—the Sprinter ride is long and temperatures can spike on the canyon rim.
Sun and sand protection
Wide-brim hat, high-SPF sunscreen, and sunglasses are essential for the Horseshoe Bend overlook and travel between sites.
Watch weather and follow your guide
Slot canyons are vulnerable to flash floods; obey the Navajo guide’s instructions and be prepared for cancellations in bad weather.
Respect Navajo rules
Antelope Canyon is on Navajo land—follow photography rules, stay with the group, and avoid touching or climbing on formations.
