Awesome! We had originally booked with another company that had to cancel because of the rain. I'm so glad, because this tour and company were great. This is a Navajo family owned business on their family owned Navajo land with multiple slot canyons. When every other Antelope canyon tour in the area had to cancel because of the heavy rains the days before, they were still able to take us out because they had many canyons to choose from on their own land. Our tour guide, John Adams, the grandson of the owners of the land, was fabulous... informative, friendly, and conscientious of our safety, time, and management of the land. It was just a really great experience.

Our tour through this family's property and slot canyon was beautiful - one of the most memorable things we did on our trip. Our guide was wonderful, and the hike was easily manageable for our kids.
Kyrum was our tour guide and we not only experienced the beauty of three canyons, we learned a lot about characteristics of the geology in the canyons, some of the medicinal plants, and the history of the Navajo's. The hiking part started off going down some stairs and after that it was flat and majestic in the canyon. Plus the canyon was not crowded and we got all our questions answered. I highly recommend this tour and Kyrum as a tour guide.
Our group absolutely loved this excursion! Our guide, Cory, was excellent! He not only had a great personality, but he was very knowledgeable and willing to answer all of our questions. He assisted us in capturing beautiful photos of this amazing canyon. We highly recommend this trip!
We originally booked the Lower Antelope Canyon with another group, but the tour was cancelled last minutes because it was flooded. Bummer! They recommended this group and we're glad they did! We called and they were able to fit us into their next group. We were unsure if the "adventurous" Deer Canyon tour with lots of steps was for us and they offered the Ligai Si Anii Canyon tour. Our guide, Kyren (my apology if this is wrong), was great. He was very knowledgeable and shared a lot about the Navajo and the beautiful canyon, flowers and slots we toured. They have several tours that accommodate any level of adventure. Highly recommend!
Short hike. We had a great tour guide. Lots of stairs. Hike down and up the stairs that high. Once out do the canyon it’s very picturesque outside.
Amazing tour and tour guide with great knowledge and some of the best slot canyons you can see. Very accommodating.
Super cool hike we ended up doing deer canyon which was a moderate hike with tight spaces and ladders but worth the amazing views. The guide was super knowledgeable and friendly.
We had a great time with our Navajo guide Cory who drove us to Deer Canyon, while having a very insightful conversation about Navajo culture and history, the area and surrounding slot canyons. We were the only ones in the canyon, which is gorgeous and much less commercial than other slot canyons in the area..a great private tour, will definitely recommend to anyone!
Wonderful!! Staff were kind and accommodating. I would book more tours with this tour company. It was an awesome experience.
While on the way to our tour, I was confused by the time change and was afraid that my daughter and I were going to miss our tour. I sent a message asking if they allowed rescheduled, and the team was replied in minutes to say that we could and to give them a call. I called and spoke with Louise, one of the owners. She was super kind and helpful. Come to find out that they don't acknowledge Daylight savings time. Once she said that, my anxiety went away. We made it there on time. We were greeted immediately upon arrival. I was provided with information before our tour. Our guide was John. John was kind, knowledgeable about the entire area, and just as handsome as he could be. He made our day trip to the canyon more adventurous. Including other areas to stop by before going back to Phoenix. John also took a few pictures for us. Once the tour ended, Ms. Louise also suggested some areas for us. She was even considerable about my fear for heights. If you want a memory to share with your friends & family, I recommend you book with them.
We had an amazing time on this tour. We just happened to be the only 2 people on the tour the day we booked (our guide said the day before had been very busy because the lower canyons were closed due to rain). Our guide gave us lots of information about the area and history on the van ride and walking through the canyon. She was very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and showed us some iPhone tricks to take nice photos. Awesome tour- we would do it again!
Our slot canyon tour was truly an unforgettable experience, and our guide, John, made all the difference. From the very beginning, he was knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly kind. He answered every question we had; not only about the canyon itself, but also about life on the reservation. Since this was our first time visiting a Native American reservation, we were very curious, and John, who is Navajo himself, openly and thoughtfully shared his experiences and culture with us, which made the tour even more meaningful. We were traveling with two 3-year-olds and a 15-month-old, and several of us were honestly nervous and afraid of heights, especially when it came to climbing the ladders. John constantly reassured us, reminded us about the “3 points of contact,” and made us feel safe and supported throughout the entire hike. He never rushed us, encouraged us to take our time, and was especially patient with our family and little ones. The canyon itself was breathtaking, and we were able to take incredible photos that we’ll treasure forever. Even though we were scared at times, we left feeling so proud of ourselves for pushing through and completing the tour. It was equal parts thrilling, beautiful, educational, and empowering. We’re so grateful to John for making this such a positive and memorable experience.
It was such a natural experience from beginning to end, different from the typical tourist style experience. Our tour guide Joanne was lovely, very personable and knowledge, having grown up on the reservation where the Antelope Canyon is situated.
Not for claustrophobic people Sometimes very narrow But good to accomplish We had e very nice guide, Alicia
Wally was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Access to the slot Canyon was provided by a four-wheel-drive vehicle going into the desert. Getting down into the slot canyon was also easy, as they built stairs with handrails to access the canyon. The canyon was absolutely gorgeous and Wally was a great photographer. Very memorable! Totally different than the five Utah national parks that we just visited.
I loved this experience! My guide was wonderful with me allowing me to break and catch my breath and drink water. He was a gentleman and shared a bit of his life as a Navajo. Thank you!
Our tour guide Julie was so informative. We learned so much about native plants and their uses ! The rock formations were incredible and so glad we went first thing in the morning because the sunlight hitting the canyon walls was something one cant put into words. You just have to see it to experience it!!
Loved this tour, seeing a variety of canyons along with wildlife and remnants of 100/200-year-old dwellings. Alex was knowledgeable and made sure to go on a pace that worked for us, and was very careful of our safety and the safety of these special places. Highly recommend!
Excellent and knowledgeable guide and the terrain was beautiful and well maintained
It was our first time to the canyon. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Her brother in law built the stairs you climb in and out of. Trust me those welds are strong💪 enjoy the views and remember carry out what you carry in. Always tip the guide. Ohh and I proposed in the canyon 💍😳🥰
We got to our tour over an hour early and they were able to squeeze us in on the earlier tour. We had Monica and she was wonderful; very knowledgeable and great with kids, so glad we had her. Can’t compare to other canyon tours but we enjoyed it, would recommend and would take any of their tours offered.
nice but extra charged 30usd for park fee
Nature in its true form, and great for families! Tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, which made it a great experience.
Fun easy experience with kids. The way in and out of the canyon was the only difficult part of the trip with the kids hiking wise, but the guide was patient and let us take our time. Once we were in the canyon it was an easy walk.
Wonderful experience! Very friendly staff and owner. Be ready for an adventure! There is climbing up and down ladders so balance and a decent amount of strength is required for the Deer Canyon hike. Ladder access new as of 2023. Absolutely stunning natural landscape and a lovely connection to the Navajo culture and land. Wally was calm, informative and fun.
Truly and amazing and unforgettable able experience! Wally was a great guide and photographer😉. It was truly the highlight of our trip. Can not wait to come back and do it again!
great Gide, very personable and very informative. wonderful person all-around. best tour ever.!! views are breathtaking for real!!!
We very much enjoyed our tour of a slot canyon with our guide, Julia. She was great, as was the experience!
We had the whole place to ourselves and Julia our guide was very sweet and knowledgeable. Would use them again!
Relaxed unhurried hike with beautiful scenery our guide was responsive to our slower pace of hiking. We loved our morning hike and pictures taken. Our guide seemed like a professional photographer !
I am petrified of heights but she took her time to talk through it with me and made me feel confident about what I was doing. I’m so glad I did because the view and experience of itself was well worth it. To put my fear in perspective I can barely stand on a short ladder with 5 steps without freaking out. Do it it’s well worth it! Just breathe and look straight ahead!
This was a wonderful memorable tour of a beautiful slot canyon - the best for our family. We had the canyon to ourselves, it was soooo quiet, and Felicia the tour guide was so patient with our two small kids (7 and 5 years old), who just wanted to play with the sand or take a break sometimes. I loved that we could tour at our own pace and there was no need to rush to the next point in the canyon. Felicia took the best pictures with our smartphone cameras - she knew more settings than we did - and she also sprinkled in several tidbits of Navajo customs and traditions. Our children had no challenge with walking here despite their short legs. Highly recommend this your for families with children!
Totally awesome tour!!! Enjoyed every minute! Our guide was informative and knowledgeable. The meeting point is in the middle of no where so don’t panic.
We upgraded to Deer Canyon, it was absolutely stunning!! Our tour guide Felicia was amazing and took the best pictures of us! Highly recommend!
Antelope Canyon has been the most exotic experience. The drive from Grand Canyons to Antelope Canyons is like driving on Mars or Saturn, ie totally other worldly. The tour service we received from the tour operator, esp our tour guide, was genuine, authentic and amazing. In a small group tour, she brought us to different canyons and sites and explained in simple visual terms how the canyons were created through millions of years of earth, atmospheric and water interactions and reactions. We had great experience and I will not hesitate at all to recommend this tour to adventure seekers. It is worth a lifetime.
A wonderful and unique experience. Beautiful historical and geographical surroundings like I’ve never seen before. Our tour guide was patient, highly knowledgeable, professional and friendly, would highly recommend this trip!
The hike thru the canyon was amazing. During the ride to the canyon Wally our guide provided history of the area and points of intrest. During the hike Wally was fantastic in helping everyone get the best pictures. I would definitely recommend this tour company if you are looking to hike Antelope Canyon.
Jon is a great considerate guide and the canyons looked wonderful. A very informative experience and we recommend this tour. Thanks to Jon and his colleagues for a great day trip
This is the perfect tour of the Antelope canyon for families having members of age groups ranging from young kids all the way to the seniors. Also, in our opinion this may actually be a better option compared to the oversubscribed upper and lower canyon tours. The guides have extensive knowledge of the area and they are very friendly. No restrictions on photography for tours during the daytime. Also, there are lesser number of tourists compared to the other more conventional tours which allows for a more personalized experience. We would highly recommend it.
1 set of steps to get in and out of the canyon. Marvelous tour and knowledgeable Navajo tour guide, Victoria whose family lives on the land. She provided plenty of time for questions and photos - never rushed. Got to see how the rising sun changed the colors of the canyon walls - glowing a bit. Very nice.
Ask for Monica. She was awesome!! Great bucket list visit!! Weather was great. Guide very knowledgeable
The trip to Ligai Si Anii Canyon, including the tour through Antelope Canyon, was absolutely mind‑blowing. The place was stunning—truly a gift of nature. Our tour guide was wonderful as well; she was kind and took the time to explain so much about the area. It was definitely worth the visit, and well worth the time and money we spent.
It was an unforgettable experience. It will probably be the best memory of my entire trip to the West. You should definitely choose this!
The tour guide kept making indirect comments saying it wasn’t a place for photos. She said things that felt directed at us, especially since we were the only Latinas in the group. She seemed to have no patience with us. She offered to take photos for everyone, but when it was our turn, she rushed us and didn’t let us enjoy the moment. The place is beautiful, but the woman was extremely unpleasant.
We loved it. It was slow paced and we didn't feel rushed at all. I was able to use a walking stick and have a bottle of water. I know some of the others places have very strict rules about walking sticks and water. But this place is not like that at all. The owners are nice and the guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. The canyon itself was just a site to behold. Just to be that close to something that beautiful was the highlight of my trip!
What an awesome experience! Antelope Canyon was amazing! Alex and Wally both did a great job. Two hours was just perfect. Beware that there are a lot of metal ladders and very narrow passages.
Very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Felt like they gave it a personal touch and I loved that it was a smaller company.
If you're NOT comfortable with going up/down steep ladders, or quite obese, I do not recommend you go on this tour. I was fine, but I can see where someone may not be able to fit through some of the slinder slots in the canyon. There was much older person on our tour who needed someone to spot her while going down the stairs -- not only did this add 45 minutes to the tour, but at one point I was scared that she was going to slip on the ladder above me and come down on the rest of us. KNOW YOUR LIMITS AND BE REALISTIC for your own safety and that of others. The sun at 1:30-3:30pm never came directly into the Deer Canyon, so most of my pictures did not have that bright orange effect I was hoping for. We were told the sun doesn't shine directly into that particular slot canyon. Small kids (under 12) need to be closely supervised by the PARENTS! I loved our tour guide and the history he gave of the land, involving his grandparents, and it did feel like a very intimate tour. This was my first slot canyon tour, so I can't compare it to any other slot canyons. I had a lot of fun though.. and the $60 was worth every penny. I hope they always keep it in the family and NEVER sell it to any contractors/corporations!!
