Upper Antelope Slot Canyon Guided Walking Tour

Antelope Kayak Tours delivers a genuinely special way to experience Antelope Canyon without the usual crowds. Guides like Rich, Justin, Nolan, and Vince consistently earn praise for being knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They share fascinating details about the area's Native culture and natural history while giving you space to soak it all in. Several reviewers call it the highlight of their Arizona trip, with the stunning canyon formations and serene Lake Powell paddle creating an unforgettable combination. Come prepared for a real workout though. The round trip involves about 3 miles of kayaking plus 1-2 miles of hiking, taking roughly 4-5 hours total. First-timers report managing just fine, but the paddle back can be tiring, especially under the midday sun or when boat wakes create waves. You'll likely get wet from paddling and may need to pull your kayak to shore. Pack plenty of water, wear sun protection, and consider water shoes. The morning tours seem ideal for avoiding afternoon heat and crowds. One couple mentioned having to haul their own tandem kayak up and down a hill, which was unexpectedly strenuous, so keep that in mind if you're considering a two-person kayak.
