Accompanied by a Navajo guide, you'll enter Antelope Canyon, where you'll find yourself immersed in a vibrant, colorful world. Walk through the unique canyon formations shaped by millions of years of water erosion and witness the mesmerizing play of light as natural sunlight reflects off the canyon walls, creating an ever-changing spectrum of colors. Next, we'll drive to Horseshoe Bend, where you'll marvel at the breathtaking craftsmanship of nature. Afterward, we'll visit the picturesque shores of Lake Powell to enjoy its serene beauty.

Antelope Canyon Water Tour Antelope Canyon is renowned for its awe-inspiring natural rock formations and lighting conditions, making it a top destination for photographers. On this tour, we have the option to ride a yacht, kayak, or motorboat with an open bow and limited passenger capacity, allowing us to enjoy the panoramic views of Antelope Canyon to the fullest. The 2-hour photo tour is perfect for capturing the stunning scenery of Antelope Canyon, Powell Lake, the Glen Canyon Dam, and the Wahweap Bay. Your photos and videos from this tour are sure to impress on your social media platforms.
   
Antelope Canyon Located in northern Arizona, Antelope Canyon is a narrow valley formed by soft sandstones that have undergone various erosions over millions of years. During the monsoon season, flash floods often enter the canyon, causing the water to flow very quickly and creating the hard and smooth edges on the canyon walls that resemble flowing water. Although the valley is narrow, the beauty within is astounding, with the rock walls appearing to be gentle but actually very hard, and the surface looking like it has been polished with flowing layers. As the sunlight shines into the serene canyon, the play of light and shadow adds to its allure.
Horseshoe Bend Selected as one of the seven best photography spots in the United States by National Geographic magazine, Horseshoe Bend is a remarkable sight to behold. The Colorado River's fluorescent green waters flow through the reddish-brown canyon, creating a 360-degree horseshoe-shaped bend, which is breathtaking to see. Standing on the cliff, one is captivated by the stunning beauty woven by blue water, blue sky, and red rocks.
Lake Powell, spanning the borders of Arizona and Utah, is one of the most popular inland water recreational destinations in the United States. Its grand area of nearly 658 square kilometers is surrounded by rugged and beautiful geological wonders, making it a fascinating sight.

- Tripods and monopods are not allowed in Antelope Canyon.
