We cannot guarantee the full tour time in the Upper Antelope Canyon as there are five companies that operate in the same limited space. Movement depends on the crowd that is in the canyon at that time.

The weather is a huge factor when visiting the canyons. Of course, we can not guarantee the sun beams, or the absence of clouds, wind or rain.

The vehicles we provide are for safe transportation on the highway and sandy roads. Due to the unpredictable environment of the Antelope Canyon wash, the 2.5 mile ride through the desert to the canyon sites will likely be rough and bumpy.

Children under 8 years old and shorter than 4ft 9in tall must use a child restraint device.
A booster seat is required for children 5 to 7 years old and/or shorter 4ft 9in tall. Once your child is 8 years old or older, or taller than 4 ft 9 in, he or she may use the vehicle's safety belt. You must provide your own child restraint device we do not provide on any of our tours.

Closed end shoes are recommended, and are required for our 3 private canyons. We discourage skirts and dresses due to the ladders and the terrain.

If it is windy, we do recommend a hat and handkerchief to cover your nose, mouth and ears. Sand enters the canyon in all directions so photographers please bring a cover for your camera, a plastic shower cap works best.

The Navajo Nation Parks and Recreation has the authority to close the park in adverse weather conditions that affect safety. When the park is closed our notification is spontaneous, please cooperate with the instructions of your guide and be prepared to evacuate.
