Which one

Which Upper Antelope Canyon tour is right for you

A tight budget favors National Park Express Hiking from $99 per person. You walk to Upper and pay the $15 permit per person plus tax separately. Its shuttle options cost more and include the permit. Antelope Canyon Navajo Tours sells direct from $100 per person including the permit. Tax and processing fees cost extra.

No car in Page favors Dineh's Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon tour from $369.37 per adult. Your hotel pickup and both canyon entries are included. Choose Dineh's Trifecta from $469.97 per adult if you also want Horseshoe Bend and lunch. Both require stairs.

A family with young children needs an age rule that fits. Antelope Canyon Tours takes all ages and each child needs a seat. Bring your own car seat for the shuttle. The two Upper-only picks start at ages 8 and 9.

Light beam photos need a midday canyon-entry time and clear skies. Don't mistake your hotel pickup or office departure time for your entry time. Beam chances depend on the season. A prime-time departure doesn't guarantee a beam.

Good to know

Know before you go

  • Check-in Adventurous meets at Highway 98, milepost 302, with arrival 30 minutes early. Dineh collects you at select Page hotels or uses Walmart as the meeting point. All four have instant booking confirmation; National Park Express emails your exact meeting point separately.
  • The permit The permit is $15 per person per entry, and Adventurous and both Dineh tours include it. The National Park Express hiking option adds tax to the separate permit charge. You pay the price shown on the booking page.
  • Ages and access Adventurous starts at age 8; the hiking option starts at 9. Upper's sandy floor leads to an uphill exit and stairs. You can't use a wheelchair on these Upper routes. Upper has a 2-hour limit inside the canyon.
  • Bags and cameras Adventurous allows no bags at all. You also can't take bags into Lower on either Dineh tour. Antelope Canyon Tours allows clear bags. Standard tours don't allow tripods, so your camera stays handheld.
  • Page time Every tour time uses Page time, Mountain Standard Time all year. Navajo Nation clocks run an hour ahead from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. The clocks match for the rest of the year. Set your phone to Phoenix so it doesn't switch clocks.
  • Weather and refunds Rain upstream can flood a dry canyon, so your tour can be canceled for unsafe weather. Adventurous and Dineh bookings here allow free cancellation until 24 hours before departure. National Park Express is all sales final for customer cancellations.
