Things to do in Lower Antelope Canyon

The Chinese and English tour guides were very considerate, the explanations were very vivid, and they also prepared a simple lunch for us. Snacks were also provided on the way. The overall experience was very good! Beyond expectations

It was a good journey. The bus was very clean. The tour guide was also very patient. Although it took five hours to drive, I didn’t feel tired at all. Recommended

Our tour guide and driver, Mac, is very friendly, cheerful and informative. He was very caring throughout the trip. There was an unlimited supply of snacks and drinks, which made the trip more enjoyable. The drive was really long, so thanks to Mac for bringing us to so many beautiful places. However, we were only informed a few days ago by Maxtour that there would be a change from Lower Antelope Canyon to Canyon X. Although free cancellation was offered, it was not an option at all. No explanation was given for the change as well in view that the booking was made long ago so it should be able to secure places from lower anyelope. Luckily, Canyon X had fewer visitors, so there wasn’t much disappointment in the end. I gave five stars because of Mac's professionalism.

The day started with shuttle transfers from various hotels to the Treasure Island Hotel, where we boarded our tour bus. The bus was equipped with power outlets for charging devices and had plenty of bottled water available. After about two and a half hours on the road, we stopped at a gas station for a restroom break and snacks. The journey then continued for another two hours before we reached our first destination. Horseshoe Bend We had an hour to explore Horseshoe Bend. However, from the parking lot to the viewing point, it’s a 950-meter walk. The downhill trek to the site is quicker, but the uphill return takes more time, so it’s important to plan accordingly. If you’re late returning to the bus, the tour guide has the right to leave without you! The view of Horseshoe Bend was breathtaking and well worth the effort, but time management is key. Lower Antelope Canyon Unlike Horseshoe Bend, there’s no need to worry about timing at Lower Antelope Canyon. Local guides manage the schedule and ensure everything runs smoothly. The descent into the canyon is steep, so you need to be cautious. The canyon itself is stunning, with its beautiful curves and vibrant colors. This part of the trip felt well-paced and stress-free. For lunch, we were provided with simple sandwiches, which were convenient and filling enough for the day. The Return Journey On the way back to Las Vegas, the bus stopped at another rest area for snacks and a restroom break. However, the drop-off locations in Las Vegas were different from the morning pick-up spots. The bus only stopped at three locations: Treasure Island Hotel, Aria Hotel, and MGM Grand, which are spread across the northern, central, and southern parts of the Strip. Travelers need to choose their drop-off point based on their hotel or plans for the evening. The Tour Team Our guide, Marvin, was friendly and informative. He shared insights about the sights and explained important safety tips for entering Lower Antelope Canyon. The driver, Gracie, was excellent—always maintaining a safe speed and even managing to get us back to Las Vegas earlier than expected. We arrived at Aria Hotel around 6:30 PM, which gave us time to relax and enjoy the evening. Overall, the trip was well-organized and enjoyable. I’d highly recommend it to anyone planning to visit these iconic destinations. Just remember to plan your return drop-off carefully and keep track of time at Horseshoe Bend!
