The 1.5-hour Antelope Canyon X hiking tour begins at the Navajo Nation Reservation. After parking and payment, you are transported in a 4×4 transport vehicle 3 miles to the mouth of Antelope Canyon X, where you then hike 100 meters into Antelope Canyon X. At the bottom, tour guides assist you through a tour of the first slot canyon. After the first slot canyon is complete, guides accompany you on the 200-meter walk to the second slot canyon. If you are choosing the photography tour, you will have 2.5 hours in canyon. This tour is for photography hobbyists, people looking to spend more time in the canyon and make use of a tripod.
Canyon X is a relatively new scenic tour and the lesser-known cousin of Upper/Lower Antelope Canyon, which results in fewer visitors by comparison to the other two.
Excellent!! Khristian our guide did an amazing job and pointing out formations. He even gave us information on what had happened recently with a flash flood. It was a wonderful experience!
Great tour! Just the right length. Canyon was beautiful. Josh, the tour guide, was funny and informative. He took some great pictures for us. The whole process was very organized.
Great tour the slot canyons were amazing! Our guide was very thoughtful took pictures of us in the canyon. He was very well versed regarding the canyon’s history. The ride down and back from registration area was very smooth. Regards
Our tour guide was Kelly, she was absolutely fantastic. She ensured we were all informed about the Navajo culture and how the canyons were formed. Kelly also ensured we stopped at 2 photo spots and adjusted our phone camera settings to make sure we got the best out of the experience. Kelly also played a Navajo Whistle Flute which was a beautiful experience.
The tour was very good. Small group size with each tour guide. We were able to take our time through the canyon, did not seemed rushed at all. Guide was very informative and took our picture at a few of the stops.
The trip was amazing! Our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more enjoyable. Antelope Canyon is absolutely breathtaking, and I highly recommend this tour.
Beware buying merchandise at Canyon X. They gave me the wrong item, later I called for return address, sent it back, disputed the credit card charge, they had the charge reinstated! Now I’m out T-shirt and $35. Beware!
Guide was good ,not rushed,nice to see the property is being respected,and it’s run by family members
Absolutely amazing!!! Our guide was wonderful. He helped us with pictures and made our memories more precious. His flute playing was a lovely addition to the tour.
Great tour! We had an amazing guide who was very informative, funny, and even took several great pics of our family!
The Tour Guide made the experience, he was so knowledgeable and kind and was willing to take pictures of each of the groups on the tour. Highly recommend!
It was a must-see experience! They can help you with photos to capture the best Instagram worthy pictures. I was also great to learn how these canyons were formed and some history with them and the Navajo land.
Booked Antelope Canyon X tour a day before. Few hours before the tour operator canceled for no reason. Now we are stuck without the tour as it is sold out. Avoid, dishonest operator.
This tour was a highlight of our vacation. So very glad we visited here. Pictures we took were stunning. There are a number of steps down to the actual canyon that must be navigated back to the top. But this stop was so very worth it!
A great experience with some beautiful spots for photography. Our guide was also full of stories about the area. A really worthwhile visit.
Phenomenal experience. Our guide Mike was great. Very knowledgeable. We never felt rushed. Not too many people in the canyon at the same time.
Garrett, our tour guide, was the best! Had a lot of great knowledge of the canyon and took great photos of our group.
I had a great time on this tour. The check in desk people were very polite and nice. Marcus Onesalt was very helpful and well informed of the area and habitat. He was also willing to take everyone's picture, which can be a lot to manage during a tour. However, he knew just the angles to shoot from and how to adjust the lighting, which made for memorable photos. He was gracious throughout the tour and patient with our group, who functioned at all different abilities. This tour was a great value for the money and an experience you should not pass up if you have the opportunity--this should be one of the wonders of the world. I spent my birthday here, and I would not have chosen to spend it any differently.
everything was realy fun, the signin was realy nice and the girls realy helpful.
10 out 10 recommend. The canyon is breathtakingly beautiful. It’s a different view than the upper or lower canyon and all stunning. Our tour guide, Jameson, was amazing! He told us stories of the Navajo people, history about the canyon and took the most amazing pictures. I would do this tour again.
Fantastic experience! Amazing shapes and colors walking at the base of swirling rock structures. Our guide Garett was tremendous, explaining clearly the story of the canyon. He demonstrated with sand and water the basic dynamics of canyon formation and was a great host Thanks much!
There just isn't enough time in such a short weekend
36+ people in the canyon per hour. Ridiculous for the space allowed. You can't move as you wait for dozens of group photos. Guides providing panoramic photos, no room to move, and super fast moving guides over rough terrain. No self a awareness from anyone. The lease holders on this Canyon want to maximize profits/hour and don't really care about the guest experience. 3 stars is gracious. Will NOT RECOMMEND.
Van driver and all staff were friendly and informative. Encouraged participation on the 10 minute drive to the canyon. Kellie was the absolute best tour guide. Very knowledgeable and personable about the canyon and surrounding areas. She showed us some great tricks for getting the best photo's. Took photo's for everyone in the best spots. Paused for several minutes to encourage a moment of peacefulness while she played a short tune on a wooden flute. That really gave the moment a "next level" serenity. There were quite a few tour groups there but they spaced us out so we had time to take pics without a bunch of people in the way.
Highly recommended. It had great history. An amazing new experience for two of our party.
The entire experience was exceptional. From the service received on the phone being so friendly and accommodating then when we arrived the reservation person was again friendly and informative. Once our tour guide, Josh J came over and took us through our tour we enjoyed his commentary. And finally what can you really say about the tour? Well, it’s magical, whimsical, something everyone should experience. It was beautiful! I recommend this tour for sure.
What a great slot canyon tour, very short can ride to location. Group of 14, knowledgeable and friendly guide.
Fantastic way to experience these two slot canyons and get a sense of the Pele who inhabit the area.
Wandered where the light dances through the canyon walls. One of nature’s true masterpieces.
Beautiful views of the canyon, well Organized and Tyler, was a fantastic guide that helped us immerse into the experience.
The canyon was amazingly beautiful, and the guide was nice and knowledgeable. The whole family enjoyed the experience
Great, great, tour! Our guide Tori was professional, knowledgeable and very personable. The organization is professional with a family run business feel. The slot canyons were spectacular
Great experience! Thomas, our guide was very knowledgeable. The canyon is beautiful. Thomas showed us how to get the best photos and even took some photos for us.
It was a lot of fun. The tour guide did a great job taking pictures for us. You can’t take bags in but we just carried water.
This was a fantastic tour of the slot canyons made even more interesting given how much we learned about the canyons and the area by our tour guide, Garrett. Highly recommend this company. Very professional and well managed.
What a phenomenal day! Thank you to Bambi, our tour guide, who not only shared the history of Canyon X and the Antelope Canyon system, but we have the most magical photos to remember our day. We left awed and inspired by the history and beauty. And by comparing notes with friends who visited the Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons, this single-operator canyon tour provides a better experience, just a few miles down the road, at the start of the Antelope Canyon system.
The van ride out was hot. No air conditioning on a 90 degree day. The van on the way back was better. Our guide Ethel was great. She took pictures in strategic locations of us and was very knowledgeable of the area.
Franco was great. We enjoyed our tour and will always cherish the perfect pictures our guide took. 10/10 Please book here you will have zero regrets
This was a great tour. Banjie the driver and Kelly the tour guide were both fantastic and made the tour even better!
What an amazing experience! Jose was our guide and was fantastic. Each step opened up the opportunity for amazing photos. Jose was there to guide us, provide tons of information, and even take photos for us. Would highly recommend!
It is absolutely amazing experience! The Canyon cannot be described, you need to see it by yourself. Everything was very well organized- you park at location that is given, minivans collect you snd take you 10 min away to the entrance of a Canyon. Your tour guide takes your group around and explain everything-our guide Jason was great, we learned a lot about how Canyon was formed and some of Navajo culture and history. He also took great picture of us in beautiful spots. I was very impressed by the whole experience.
The canyon is amazing and our guide was perfect. He taught us a lot and took great pictures we will treasure forever. Definitely a must see and do!
Very Friendly from the initial sign in, to the bus ride to the canyon and the tour guides!
The staff and guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. The canyon was beautiful .
Steep climb out. We thoroughly enjoyed the history explanation of how the canyon was created. We had a guide that was working there for a long time. I think because of the kids in the group, he did a sand & water demonstration that was great. He also showed me how to set my camera to a pro mode. Overall, we had a great time, less people than the upper & lower canyon which was a plus.
Fantastic views in the canyon. Great tour guide. Would do it again. Loved the pictures I took and the guide took some great pictures for us on my camera.
Great experience and we had a great tour guide in Ethel! Thanks so much for a memorable experience.
The description is very accurate. The staff were all very nice and informative. Our guide Thomas was awesome-fun, knowledgeable, and kind. He brought his drum (he made it from Mule deer hide) and played and sang about wishes for safe travels and positivity. It’s a steep, but short downhill walk to get to the slot canyons, but you do have to go back up. I believe special assistance can be arranged, if needed.
Amazing trip that was worth the drive. Thomas was a terrific guide as well as photographer. Very lucky to have him and be able to listen to him sing along with his knowledge of the area and history
Marcus was a great guide, and the views were spectacular
