What to Expect
This private kayak and hike tour offers a more intimate way to experience Antelope Canyon, designed exclusively for your group. With a dedicated guide and a flexible pace, this experience allows for deeper connection, personalized storytelling, and unhurried exploration of one of the Southwest’s most iconic landscapes.
Your journey includes a 5-mile round-trip paddle across the calm waters of Lake Powell, led entirely by your private guide. Along the way, you’ll hear in-depth stories about the Colorado River, Lake Powell, and the canyon’s geology, with time for questions, photography, and quiet moments on the water.
