DESCRIPTION

We have teamed up with Wilderness River Adventures to provide you with an exclusive full day touring experience. This tour requires 2 tickets, one for the canyon (on-land) and one for rafting. You can expect to pay about $305 per person as a total cost.

River Rafting Experience (approx. 4 hours)

This float trip lets you enjoy all the sights and stops of Glen Canyon. It starts with a two-mile tunnel drive (and dinosaur tracks!) before you board your river craft. It continues to Petroglyph Beach and its fascinating artifacts. You’ll look up in awe at the soaring cliffs above Horseshoe Bend as you learn the stories of the ancestral Puebloan people who lived here. Afterward, you’ll enjoy a motor-coach ride back from Lees Ferry to Page, passing Vermillion Cliffs and historic structures along the way.

Secret Antelope Canyon (approx. 2 hours)

Take in the beautiful desert scenery as you enjoy an off-road adventure through sandy washes and rolling hills on a shaded, open-air, 4x4 tour truck. Enjoy an easy 300-meter nature walk to the entrance of one of the longest slot canyons to be toured on the Navajo Nation. Our local tour guides will share the unique history of the canyon and share the culture of the Navajo people as you explore this natural sandstone wonder formed by millions of years of erosion. You will have up to an hour to photograph and meander through the slot canyon.

Horseshoe Bend Overlook (approx. 1 hour)

We will drive you on a private Navajo access road to within 100 meters of the overlook. From there, you will be able to leisurely stroll along the canyon rim and photograph the river 1000 feet below. The undulating sandstone provides various angles and views of the Colorado River as it meanders around a rock promontory, creating the Horseshoe Bend loop beloved by visitors and photographers from around the world.
