🗺️ Paddle-Only Antelope Canyon Kayak Tour Itinerary

📍 Meet-Up & Check-In Guests meet their guide at Antelope Point Public Ramp. After check-in, your guide will fit everyone with a life vest and kayak, followed by a brief safety and paddle orientation so the group is comfortable and ready to launch together.

🚣 Guided Paddle Into Antelope Canyon We launch as a group onto the calm waters of Lake Powell and begin a guided paddle approximately 1 mile into Antelope Canyon. Your guide leads the route and sets the pace while sharing insight into the canyon’s geology, history, and the unique relationship between the Colorado River and Lake Powell.

🌄 Deeper Into the Canyon As the canyon walls narrow, we continue paddling up to 1.5 miles through towering sandstone formations, where shifting light and reflections create the canyon’s iconic colors. Your guide highlights notable features and indicates the best moments for photos along the way.

📸 Photo Pauses & Storytelling Throughout the paddle, your guide offers brief pauses for photography, observation, and storytelling, ensuring the group remains together while fully experiencing the beauty of the canyon.

🚣 Return Paddle We paddle back along the same route, retracing our path through Antelope Canyon and across Lake Powell. Depending on the season and conditions, your guide may include a scenic swim stop on the return journey.

🌵 Tour Wrap-Up We return to the launch point together, where your guide assists with equipment and answers any final questions before sending you off with lasting memories of Antelope Canyon from the water.
