The mother of the company in her 70's guided our tour. Amazing how she was able to easily maneuver though the canyon. She was very wise in the Navajo culture. You could see she had a strong heart for her culture. My husband and I loved her stories. Loved that this company is small and family owned. We happened to have a private tour which was awesome. Becoming off season. We loved the vision hee daughter has for the company and that the matriarch only wants to hire guides that have they heart!! ❤️ of course the canyon was beautiful. I am an amateur photographer, so I was engrossed with all the designs on the rock. We even recommended Mysical to a German couple the next day while stopping at the Navajo National Museum Monument.

We had a wonderful tour in Antelope Canyon X. Our guise Al was our guide and he was friendly, relaxing, informative, and had a sense of humor. He offered photo taking for all the people in our group. It was a very sunny and hot day. Al also offered a complimentary bottle of cold water. He looked like an angel. Highly recommended.

Unmatched aerial views

A helicopter or airplane tour offers a spectacular bird’s-eye view of Antelope Canyon's winding sandstone formations and the stunning 270-degree turn of Horseshoe Bend, giving you a perspective you can only get from above.

Exclusive access to scenic highlights

While ground tours show you the intricate details up close, an aerial tour shows you vast, otherwise unreachable areas that highlight the sheer scale of the Southwest’s rock structures and desert terrain.

Capture incredible photos

The reds, oranges, and yellows of the terrain along with the dramatic shadows and contrasts, are even more striking from the air. You will be able to capture sweeping shots of both Horseshoe Bend’s perfect curve and Antelope Canyon.

Add a bit of thrill to your visit

Gliding over these iconic formations is an experience that combines the thrill of flight with the serenity of the region’s natural beauty, making for a memorable adventure–whether it’s your first visit or a return trip to Arizona’s canyon lands.

Maximize your trip

Make the most of your visit to the region by not only exploring the canyon on foot, but also getting in some air time. The airplane & ground tour allows you to see multiple landmarks in a shorter period of time.
