About this tour
This is the highest-rated day trip we sell, and it's easy to see why. You leave Sedona in the morning, drive through Oak Creek Canyon and past Flagstaff into the Painted Desert, and spend the middle of the day at two of the most photographed places on the planet.
At Lower Antelope Canyon, a Navajo guide leads you down into the slot canyon — a river of sculpted orange and violet sandstone, with light falling in shafts from above. Then it's ten minutes to the Horseshoe Bend overlook, where the Colorado River makes its famous 270-degree turn 1,000 feet below the rim. Hotel pickup and drop-off in Sedona are included, and canyon admission is covered.
What's included
- Round-trip transport from Sedona with hotel pickup and drop-off

Good to know
- It's a long day — about 11.5 hours door to door. Worth it; just plan around it.
- You'll walk about 1.5 miles over uneven surfaces, including ladders inside the canyon. Minimum age 5; not suitable for infants or toddlers.
- Operators may use Upper or Lower Antelope depending on weather and crowd conditions.
- Canyon entry is capacity-controlled and prime dates sell out — book this one early.
