Explore beyond the crowds: a guided walk through Secret Antelope Canyon plus an overlook of Horseshoe Bend away from the public viewpoint, in one 2.5-hour outing near Page, Arizona. From our check-in facility on Indian Route 6098, a shaded, cushioned open-air 4x4 tour truck takes you on a six-mile off-road drive across Navajo Nation land.

At Horseshoe Bend, the truck reaches within about 100 meters of the rim; a quarter-mile round-trip walk over sandstone brings you to the edge, 1,000 feet above the Colorado River. Groups are usually limited to 12. Horseshoe Bend Tours is Navajo-owned and has operated since 2017. The Navajo Nation permit ($15 per person) is required for every guest and is included in the price.

Horseshoe Bend
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 private access, not open to the general public, means a much shorter walk to the rim and breathtaking views of the Colorado River winding around the Horseshoe Bend loop.

Secret Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend Outlook Combo Tour-no crowds!
The Combo Secret Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend Overlook tour was excellent. Our guide Michaela Red Wolf was very informative and helpful with photography. The tour has a maximum of 12 people and is a 20 minute drive from the office site. The office was very tricky to find as it is operated by a local company called Lii' Bikee' Tours and it is a literally a small trailer on the side of the highway and easy to miss. Red Wolf drove us in a covered open-air 4 WD vehicle on a very scenic but somewhat bumpy ride to the canyon entrance. Secret Antelope Canyon has two companies offering tours that are 30 minutes apart and each with a maximum of 12 people. The canyon itself is not crowded and it combines the characteristics of both Lower and Upper Antelope Canyons (the A and V features of the sandstone). This tour is a great choice for anyone looking for a less crowded slot canyon tour and you can still take great photos. At the end of the tour we did a quick stop at the Horseshoe Bend Overlook which on this tour is on private land so it is just to the left of the public viewing area. The benefit is you have just a short walk to the viewing area and it is just your small group. The viewpoint is not dead center as it is from the public view point and there was some afternoon shadow (which you would get from any view point) but it was worth a quick stop to see and photograph it.

Beautiful views and amazing guide!
We had such a great experience visiting Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon! Our tour guide, Merlin, was wonderful. He was very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed learning about the area, its history, and the Navajo culture. He shared so many interesting facts that made the experience even more special. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Why this scores 86
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Secret Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Page.
How does Secret Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend Tour compare to similar tours in Page?
+
It ranks #3 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Page, with an Outty Ranking of 86. At $162 it sits above the typical similar option ($111), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and couples.
Who is Secret Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend Tour best for?
+
It suits families and couples best, based on its 2.5-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is Secret Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend Tour good value?
+
It is a premium pick. It starts at $162, above the $111 typical for similar experiences in Page.
How much does Secret Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $162 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 Secret Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Secret Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 469 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Page, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Secret Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend 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 Secret Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Secret Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend Tour?
+
Around 164 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Secret Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend 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 and Horseshoe Bend Overlook, Lower Antelope Canyon Hiking Tour. 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.
