A Private Guided Experience to Horseshoe Bend & Antelope Canyon

Experience two of Northern Arizona’s most extraordinary natural wonders on a private guided tour designed exclusively for your group. Departing from Sedona or Flagstaff, this full-day adventure takes you across the stunning desert landscape of the Navajo Nation and into the heart of the Glen Canyon region—home to Horseshoe Bend, Lake Powell, and the world-famous Antelope Canyon.

Your journey begins with private transportation and your own dedicated Sedona Red Rock Tours guide, who will share insight into the region’s geology, history, and Native cultures as you travel north. Upon arrival at Horseshoe Bend, enjoy a relaxed walk to the overlook, where you’ll take in an unforgettable 1,000-foot view of the Colorado River. With no rush and no shared schedule, you’ll have plenty of time for photos and exploration.

Afterward, enjoy a scenic picnic-style lunch near Glen Canyon Dam before continuing on to Antelope Canyon.
Important: While the entire day is private, the Antelope Canyon portion of the tour is required to be guided by certified Navajo guides and may include other visitors. This ensures safe access and honors Navajo Nation regulations.

Inside the canyon, your Navajo guide will lead you through the glowing sandstone passageways, explaining the geology, history, and cultural significance of this one-of-a-kind place.

Throughout the day, Sedona Red Rock Tours provides snacks, cold drinks, and cooling towels to ensure your comfort. With expert guiding, private transportation, and thoughtful planning, this tour offers a seamless and unforgettable way to experience Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon.

The transportation, Horseshoe Bend portion, Glen Canyon stops, and all guiding provided by Sedona Red Rock Tours are fully private.
The only exception is Antelope Canyon, which must be guided by certified Navajo guides and may include other guests. This is required by Navajo Nation regulations for safety and preservation.

Horseshoe Bend requires a 1.5-mile round-trip walk on sandy terrain. Lower Antelope Canyon includes staircases, narrow passageways, and uneven sandstone surfaces. Most guests find both areas very manageable with proper footwear.

No. Bags of any kind—including backpacks, purses, fanny packs, and camera bags—are not allowed inside Lower Antelope Canyon. Small items must fit in your pocket or be carried in your hand. Your guide will secure non-permitted items safely in the vehicle.

Light, breathable clothing is best for the desert climate. Closed-toe shoes with good traction are essential. Sun protection—hat, sunscreen, sunglasses—is highly recommended.

Yes—kids are welcome. Families should note that Lower Antelope Canyon has narrow sections and stairs, so younger children should be comfortable navigating uneven terrain with guidance.

Absolutely—just let us know your needs when booking, and we will do our best to accommodate them for lunch.
