Private Antelope Canyon Expedition

Antelope Canyon is one, 30-mile long slot canyon comprised of four different sections. It is made up of narrow passageways, eroded corridors, and wave-like shapes in the rocks. Located on the south shore of Lake Powell, the sandstone formations of Antelope Canyon are a famous location to shoot photos. Rainwater, in the form of monsoon season flash flooding, has cut this magnificent natural feature.

The total flight time is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes each way. The tour duration, if hotel transfers is selected, is about 9 hours. Guests spend about 3.5 hours on the ground in Page, Arizona.

Horseshoe Bend Arizona is a breathtaking natural wonder. It’s no wonder that tourist flock to this remote location – seeing the unusual horseshoe-shaped twist in the Colorado River atop a sheer 1,000-foot drop is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. 

Horseshoe Bend is also nestled in Page, Arizona – an already popular tourist destination for Antelope Canyon, Lake Powell water activities, camping, and more. If you’re visiting Page AZ, you can easily add a visit to Horseshoe Bend to your schedule!
