Which one

Which slot canyon tour is right for you

A tight budget favors Ligai Si Anii's day tour from $68.90 per adult. The permit costs extra. You have eight daily starts from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., with the lowest adult price among the daytime picks.

A day without a car in Page needs a ride to Wind Canyon's office. Its two-hour tour starts from $80 per person with a six-guest limit; the permit costs extra. The price covers the canyon ride from the office. Choose it for the group cap; that doesn't mean an empty canyon.

Waterhole Canyon Experience stops summer tours at 95 °F (35 °C). The permit isn't itemized; tripods need the separate photography tour.

Good to know

Know before you go

  • Check-in Waterhole and Antelope Valley Canyon Tours require you to arrive 30 minutes early. Your canyon shuttle leaves from the operator's office and doesn't collect you from Page hotels. Choose your date on the booking page before arranging rides to the office and back.
  • Permit fees $15 per person is the Navajo Nation entry fee, per location and day. The three Antelope Valley options and Wind Canyon don't include it in the price. Waterhole Tour #1 doesn't itemize it. Review the fee breakdown before you pay.
  • Ages and steps Waterhole Tour #1 starts at age 8, so younger children can't join you. Deer Canyon and Wind Canyon start at 6. Ligai Si Anii accepts younger children, but your family still has steep steps to manage.
  • Bags and tripods Waterhole Tour #1 bans bags and tripods, though you can bring a phone or handheld camera. Tripods belong on Waterhole's separate photography tour. Ask your operator about gear rules before packing for another canyon.
  • Page time All departures use Page time, Mountain Standard Time without daylight saving. Navajo Nation time runs an hour ahead from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. The clocks match during the rest of the year. Set your phone to Phoenix time.
  • Weather and refunds All five options accept bookings instantly. You can cancel free until 24 hours before departure; later voluntary cancellations aren't refunded. Follow your guide if weather stops the tour; storms upstream can flood a dry canyon.
