Prepare your visit

You cannot visit Antelope Canyon by yourself. Access is only and necessarily through guided tours organized by authorized Navajo operators. This is due to the fragility of the site, its cultural significance for the Navajo people, and for safety reasons (risk of flash floods).

We recommend booking your visit well in advance, especially during the high season.

✔ What to absolutely bring :

💧

Water

Essential, especially in summer. The climate in Northern Arizona is desert and dry. Plan 1 liter per person, in a small bottle or a flask. There is no water point on site during the visit.

🧢

Hat/Cap

To protect yourself from the sun during waiting times, travel, and even at the entrance/exit of the canyon. Shade areas are rare except when you are inside a canyon. A wide-brimmed hat or a well-fitted cap will help you avoid sunburn and heatstroke. It is a simple but essential accessory in the Arizona desert.

🌞

Sunscreen

The Arizona sun is strong, even if you spend time inside the canyon. Before and after the visit, you will be exposed to full sun, often without shade while waiting for the tour to start or to get back to the vehicle. Remember to apply high protection sunscreen, especially on the face, arms, and neck.

🥾

Closed shoes

The canyon floors are sandy and uneven, and some have stairs. To prevent fine sand from getting everywhere during your visit, which can be 1 to 2 kilometers long depending on the canyon, plan closed and comfortable shoes.

😎

Sunglasses

For eye comfort outside, especially while waiting before the visit or during travel. The sun's reflection on light sand and rocky walls can be very intense. Good sunglasses will protect your eyes from glare and make the experience much more pleasant, especially in full summer.

📸

Camera/Smartphone

With fully charged battery and sufficient storage space! Antelope Canyon is one of the most photogenic places in the United States, and you won't want to miss the chance to capture its unreal lights and unique wavy shapes. And don't forget to turn off the flash, totally useless and counterproductive if you want to capture the magic of the place !

❌ What not to bring :

🎒

Backpacks

Operators forbid them to avoid damaging the fragile walls of narrow canyons and to facilitate circulation.

📷

Tripods

Forbidden because they slow down groups and can damage the canyon.

🤳

Selfie sticks

For safety reasons and not to disturb other visitors.

Time zone

Although Antelope Canyon is on Navajo Nation territory, which observes daylight saving time, all canyon tours follow Arizona time (Page), which means no time change in summer. This rule was put in place to avoid confusion for visitors. Whatever the season, Antelope Canyon and Page are always on the same time (Mountain Standard Time).

How are slot canyons formed ?

Slot canyons are the result of patient work by nature. Over millennia, rainwater, often in sudden floods, has seeped into cracks in the sandstone rock. Progressive erosion carved these narrow corridors with smooth and winding walls, creating spectacular landscapes where light dances on the stone. This natural process continues today, making every visit unique.
