Awesome
The Navaho canyon was fabulous. Beautiful day and captain was great in pointing out different shapes with in the rock walls. She sang a beautiful navaho song for us and was overall very knowledgeable and friendly. It was a perfect day for a excursion on Lake Powell.

Wonderful Experience
Wonderful experience. This was one of the highlights of our trip. The boat was comfortable with seating inside or outside for viewing. We explored both Lake Powell and the Colorado River.

Navajo Canyon/Glen Canyon Dam boat ride
Great experience, our captain/guide was Marilyn, who was very knowledgeable about the water & the area. The three hour trip was relaxing & we especially enjoyed the beauty of the area and Navajo Canyon.

Lake Powell boat tour
Expensive. Great staff and boarding facilities. The boat goes through multiple channels. In the Novajo canyaon, the natural tapestry is beautiful. That's the only spot one would like to see and enjoy.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Navajo Canyon Boat Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Page.
How much does Navajo Canyon Boat Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $119 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Page usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Navajo Canyon Boat Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Page is not rushed.
Is Navajo Canyon Boat Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Page, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Navajo Canyon Boat Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Navajo Canyon Boat Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Navajo Canyon Boat Tour?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Page can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Page and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Navajo Canyon Boat Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Page within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Page?
+
Page exists for two icons: guided Antelope Canyon slot tours, which are the only legal way in, and Horseshoe Bend overlooks, plus Lake Powell boat trips and Colorado River float runs. On Outty we rank every Page experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Navajo Dinner Theater, Hoop Dancing, and Native Storytelling, Secret Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend Tour, Secret Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend Overlook. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Page?
+
March to May and September to October; midday canyon slots are best for light beams. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Page?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Navajo Canyon Boat Tour?
+
Included: On-board restrooms. Not included: Government fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Navajo Canyon Boat Tour?
+
Be sure to arrive in the lobby of Lake Powell Resorts 45 minutes prior to departure. Boarding begins 15 minutes prior to scheduled departure time. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Navajo Canyon Boat Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Navajo Canyon Boat Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Navajo Canyon Boat Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Transportation options are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Navajo Canyon Boat Tour if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Navajo Canyon Boat Tour?
+
Across 23 reviews averaging 4.9 out of 5, recurring themes include knowledge and storytelling, the guide. Reviewers describe the commentary as informative rather than scripted.
