Ken’s Tours
The General Tour lasts approximately one hour, during which groups of up to 10 tour-takers will hike about 1 mile. While cameras are welcome, tripods and selfie sticks are not. Tickets, which do not include park entrance fees and taxes, cost approximately $50 for visitors 13 and older and $30 for those 4 to 12. Children younger than 3 can take the tour for free, but strollers cannot be used in the Lower Canyon. Tours depart daily from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. (you’ll need to arrive 30 minutes before departure to check in). For more information about Navajo culture, book the Deluxe Tour. You’ll not only spend an hour in the canyon, but you’ll also visit the Hózhǫ́ Haz’ą́ Heritage Site and receive a meal. The tour excludes infants and costs approximately $130 per person. These tours depart four times daily (two in the morning and two in the afternoon). Guides are frequently described as informative and friendly and the scenery as unsurpassable.

The walks depart from the company’s booth near the canyon multiple times each day. Exact departure times vary by season.

Tickets (excluding the park entrance fee) start at around $50 for adults and $30 for children ages 4 to 12. Kids younger than 4 tour free. Dixie Ellis also offers daylong van tours that combine the Lower Antelope Canyon Tour with visits to the Navajo National Monument and Monument Valley.
