Itinerary and highlights
Secret Antelope Canyon is a secret canyon in Arizona that’s part of the Antelope Canyon system and is still an undiscovered gem with group sizes that are limited to just a fraction of Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons. It is just as spectacular and photogenic but without the crowds.
On the antelope slot canyon tours, we take you on a private off-road 4x4 drive for 6 miles (approximately 30 minutes) meandering through the desert, rolling hills and wash-beds. During the drive, we may see coyotes, foxes, bobcats, owls, hawks and other desert wildlife!
Combo Secret Antelope Canyon + Horseshoe Overlook: Experience the breathtaking beauty of Secret Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend Overlook on this exclusive tour. This rare opportunity to explore one of the longest slot canyons on the Navajo Nation is made even more special by the limited number of guests we take on each tour.
Your shaded, open-air 4x4 tour truck takes you on a thrilling six-mile off-road adventure to the entrance of Secret Antelope Canyon, followed by a 300-meter nature walk to the stunning slot canyon. With just a small number of guests, you'll have ample time to photograph and truly immerse yourself in this magical location.
At Horseshoe Bend Overlook, we'll avoid the congested public parking lot and take a private dirt road that leads to within 100 meters of the edge of the canyon. This exclusive access allows you to have a much shorter walk to the rim and enjoy breathtaking views of the Colorado River winding around the Horseshoe Bend loop.
