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.

Mesmerizing canyon structure

The V-shaped structure of Lower Antelope Canyon gives the slot canyon a unique shape. As you travel through the passages, you get to see the intricate walls made over millions of years and take in the layered rock formations from up close.

Seemingly infinite colors & textures

The textures and colors of Lower Antelope Canyon are a lot more visible with less sunlight filtering through the narrow walls, and the vermillion, pink, and orange hues resemble rolling ocean waves.

Adventurous terrain

Your tour involves navigating narrow passageways, descending, and climbing a series of ladders, making this a challenging hike for adventure lovers who want a thrilling sightseeing expedition in the Navajo Nation’s natural wonders.

Cooler colors & unique photo opportunities

The long descent to Lower Antelope Canyon, along with the V-shaped canyon structure, means that the light that filters through the slot canyon creates a more dramatic effect on the Navajo sandstone walls, and the cooler tones reflected create a dynamic color play, making it a one-of-a-kind photo opportunity you cannot miss out on.

Navajo heritage & culture

Adding depth to your Lower Antelope Canyon experience is the fact that these tours are led by knowledgeable Navajo guides. On your guided tours, the guides will share insights about the canyon's history, stories about the Navajo people, and their connection to the land.
