Our guide Brian was awesome. He was super helpful with getting amazing photos and had stories and lots of knowledge of the area. Totally recommend this tour if you are in the area, so worth it.

Highlight of our trip
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Ryan, was amazing - knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. His flute playing in the 2nd canyon was the highlight of our tour. Beautiful. We would highly recommend.

Super guide, Wonder place
I had wanted to visit the canyon for years. I booked a tour for July 2026. There were very few tourists in Arizona and Utah at that time—perhaps due to the World Cup or Trump. Just imagine: it was just me and my wonderful guide, Brian, a member of the local tribe. Thank you, my guide, for the stories and the time you dedicated to me.

Ryan was a wonderful guide, and this was an incredible semi-private tour!

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tour #1: Waterhole Canyon Guided Tour (WCE): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Page.
How much does Tour #1: Waterhole Canyon Guided Tour (WCE) cost?
+
Prices start at $128 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 Tour #1: Waterhole Canyon Guided Tour (WCE) take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Tour #1: Waterhole Canyon Guided Tour (WCE) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 461 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 Tour #1: Waterhole Canyon Guided Tour (WCE)?
+
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 Tour #1: Waterhole Canyon Guided Tour (WCE) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tour #1: Waterhole Canyon Guided Tour (WCE)?
+
Around 161 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tour #1: Waterhole Canyon Guided Tour (WCE) 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 Lower Antelope Canyon Hiking Tour, Navajo Dinner Theater, Hoop Dancing, and Native Storytelling, 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.
