Thank you so much for this video! When I visit parks this is exactly what I want to avoid. I've always visit National Parks on my own pace and plan my trips to avoid the crowds. Even the times I visited Yellowstone National Park I had the most relaxing time and didn't have to deal with crowds. This is a place I will probably never go because of the crowds and strict structure of the tours. It's a stunning place I would love to see but no thanks, I'll choose another less crowded and less restricted park where I can find peace and serenity. There's so many out there!
Went in July this year and it was gorgeous! Did the 1230 pm tour. Our company had the air conditioned shuttles, which was nice. It wasn’t too crowded. Our guide took us through in about an hour. Every moment was totally breathtaking!!
I went when I was on Spring break in AZ. It was a 3 hour drive from Sedona, AZ. I took I-40 And US-89 Just to get here. It was worth the beautiful drive.
Me and my boyfriend went yesterday. I would recommend the off season (before summer). Our experience was totally not like this. Same day tour reservations and the tour guides were awesome and super nice!
65$ is too expensive lady. I went there back in 2016 September and We paid 8$ each for entry to the parking spot and after that 24$ for lower antelope canyon tkt fee. So altogether per person 32$ that time. And one main thing to make sure that before you plan to visit there see the weather conditions prior for that day and always choose the spot between 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM when sun 🌞 is above your head and that’s when you get the best picture(full of red and bright). By the way I really like the way you shot the video with your explanations. Good job. 👍
I really appreciate your honest review! I am trying to decide whether to stop here or in Tuba (near the Navajo cultural center) in an upcoming trip. I have social anxiety and am worried the amount of people (in such a small space!) would ruin it for me. So, leaning toward Tuba! Thanks!
Still worth seeing in person, but you're totally right. It's very busy. I think our tour guide said the company we were with actually uses the money to help the local tribe or something where some other groups just keep it for themselves.
The local tribe isnt exactly poor, they make tons off the casinos and each tribe member gets a percentage. OF course you have to account for how corrupt the tribe leadership has become.
I completely agree with you, I did the same tour in May 2019 and as much as I appreciated the tour guide's knowledge and experience in capturing the Instagramable photos, it felt very forced upon. I was scolded a couple times for either staying back or moving to far ahead and try to get some of my own unique shots without any tourist in the canyon.
There's so much negativity about Antelope Canyon tours all over UA-cam that I was a bit apprehensive but anyway booked the tour. My experience was very good with the Navajo guide doing an excellent job showing us around !...Yes there were people (you can't expect a popular spot like this to all by yourself) but they were doing the tours in small groups. The real trick is selecting the time to go there---it should be preferably around mid-day which is when the canyon is lit by the sunbeams from overhead and you won't find many dark areas like they showed in this video. There are also other canyons you can go to if you want the place by yourself, but they don't compare to the beauty of the Antelope Canyon--- after my trip, I would say it's special.
LOL! I love the exposure, especially that last part where it looked like you guys might've had a minute to video the in peace until the guide told your partner they're waiting on him!! LOL
Thanks for the video and honest review! Super helpful to see what it REALLY looks like and to see the many people sharing the space with you. No one wants to pay money just to be shoulder-to-shoulder with other people. I would be immediately annoyed. My eyes are already twitching thinking about it.
Def. should try the off-season and request a photographer's tour - much more time and less people allowed on those tours - more $$$ though - worth it in my opinion if you want those amazing photos
We did the Antelope lower canyon last Saturday, it was amazing, our guide with Ken's tour was awesome, 7:30am a group of 7, lots of pictures and history! My suggestion its to get there as early as possible
@@Internetlo How great that you’ll be visiting the Antelope Canyon! Unfortunately, we don’t really know the weather conditions around that time a year. We recommand you to contact the organisation because they will know best!
Haris Dzidic the drive is more or less 15 minutes and it’s also on the highway! It’s very very bumpy and there are no windows, so it’s very very challenging for a pregnant woman!
You see the pictures and it looks like something you can do on your own. However, the beautiful colors are from high end Cameras and its a separate tour which cost more. I also hear it takes 2 hours to get there. No thanks. You can see the same crap in Moab for free.
I wish they would do a private reservation tour, I'd pay the amount just so I can get good photos for the gram and not have people scratching their bum in the background lol
to any considering this trip - don't go if you think you are going to get awesome photos. You are rushed in & out and the guides can be pretty rude at times if you linger (like in the video) Look up Canyon X, not quite as cool, but you can at least take your friggin time.
This video is two years old. The new one way walkway to get back to trucks was built during the COVID lockdown. We just did it and I think the walkway is a nice addition and makes for a better experience.
@@rickkopfler8447 yup, I saw the new one, but I don’t like the new walkway to the other side, all you see is sand. My friend said it was a waste of time when he did this recently. To each his own!
I hate crowds. But crowds getting in the middle of spoiled entitled instagrammers trying to take a narcissistic picture then that's a great silver lining haha
Bottom line visiting the canyon itself IS definitely worth it, but due to the guides not allowing you to get the pictures for yourself that you want and always being pushy. Plus the huge crowds. I would say its NOT worth it overall. Why pay to get pushed through there like a conveyor belt style tour. You go all the way over there to see a natural wonder only to be told what to do (and pay to be told). They need to have trail just for regular tourists to go, but they dont because the tribe wants to make as much money as possible off the tourists. Sad but true. The tribe leadership is corrupt and takes most of the casino money for their families and leaves the rest of the tribe with scraps.
Why does everyone have to spread positivity? I think people should be more natural instead of all these insta fake smiles. That's not what anyone on Planet Earth needs. And it's really toxic. 🤮
EPH Lifestyle, inc Hey there, good to hear your opinion and you’re right, but for us, $65 per person is expensive because you don’t have the space (as you could have seen in de video), you cannot take the shots you want because your guide says when you can take pictures and above all that you are standing shoulder to shoulder with the all the people in the canyon! We expected a bit more, so then $65 is a lot! 😉
It is expensive for family of 4 (260.00). Being single and going by yourself is fine. HOWEVER, its a waste of money to look at rock formations. If you want to do that; go to MOAB. Same sandstone swirls you can see for free. I don't pay to look at dirt that God created.
BrotherBones X : I’ve paid $260 for just myself for other excursions, so, “expensive,” is subjective to who you ask. I don’t mind spending money on experiences, but I won’t waste money on things like having cable, or giant flatscreen televisions.
@@elainesnaturals Yeah TV expenses are pretty crazy. My point was that to be crowded and rushed through for the same experience else where that you can get for free isn't worth it. It is subjective of course.
I don't think Moab is the same experience as Antelope Canyon at all. Moab is crazy super expensive place just do anything outdoors(kayaking, four wheeling tour) or even living there. Moab land is red and pretty but Antelope canyon has a lower and higher tour. The rock formations are different too. Great place for photography too. It cost me $40 for the lower tour and was about 1hr and a half long. The upper canyon tour is more pricer cuz it's where the famous photos it is known for are taken. If it's too expensive, then just don't go or leave the kids. It's more of an adult thing anyways. I went there and a family who brought their 10 yr old, complained the whole time. Got super annoying. :/
Destin Howard The purpose of the video has nothing to do with complaining but to make people aware of how the visit really goes. And that’s just our opinion 😉 Thanks for your opinion as well!
Hah! Yes you CAN be in beautiful places alone. I've seen slot canyons as beautiful as Antelope many times and most of those are entirely void of people. They're just much harder to get to for the average tourist with little time. If one truly wishes solitude and beauty they need to plan and prepare well ahead of time and do lots of research. Some places require a 4wd vehicle and a 5-15 mile hike to get to. To me, that's well worth the solitude.
Haley J thank you for your input! The purpose of this video was to show this particular canyon, but nice to hear that there are others too with less people!
@@GLOBEWATCHERS I'm really happy you shared this video! Thank YOU! Antelope canyon IS beautiful but so hard to enjoy when you're being herded around dozens upon dozens of other people. Safe travels to you!

Hello, where did u buy tickets at that price ? We trying to go , but everything is above 65. Just wondering. Thanks for the info
@@danielaramirez9615 I know to know too
It was good to see what to expect. Thanks!
This appears to be the Upper Antelope Canyon tour. We just scheduled our tour for May and really looking forward to it!

should employ the local tribes in the tours would be more better and informative than all this forced upon crap

suzanx hahaha glad you like the video! And yes, there was a moment of peace until ... 😅
You guys deserve much more subscribers! Try using more hashtags. Very nice and informative videos.
xkvu24 that’s a very nice comment of you! Thanks for the tip and we’ll try the hashtags!
$65?! Oh - this is *three* years ago, and pre-bug. It is now anywhere from $100 to $128!

do the Bucksin Gulch instead. Way less crowded
Costasvdv oh good tip, thanks!

I’m gonna go this November 7th, at 730 am. Do you think it’ll be worth it? Idk of the light is gonna hit well or if it’s snowy over there
@Sonia, thanks for that info!
@@Internetlo How great that you’ll be visiting the Antelope Canyon! Unfortunately, we don’t really know the weather conditions around that time a year. We recommand you to contact the organisation because they will know best!
How much time do you spend walking the tour? Is it an all day thing?
Very Helpful. Good info. Thx
Peter Kraus glad we could help you!
Great video! Thanks. Cpuple of question though...Which website did you book,how many days before the trip you book?
hi.. which company you booked your ticket with?
For those looking to go. Antelope Canyon is almost 30 miles long. And has many other options than where she went. One such tour is 6 hrs.
How long is the drive to the canyon from the truck pick up? Also would it be challenging for a 6month pregnant woman?
Haris Dzidic the drive is more or less 15 minutes and it’s also on the highway! It’s very very bumpy and there are no windows, so it’s very very challenging for a pregnant woman!
thanks for tips going to Las Vegas this would be a nice spot ~ just sad it can't drive my own ride in :) !! haha ~~
You did this 2 years ago. I hope to do it this year end.
thinking of going there then change my mind to to Moab!
Excellent video!!! It is informative, honest, and straight to the point. Thank you
So you cant go there unless its tour guided? Mean can't go there by your self if you have your truck ?
No, you can only go there with a guide! You’re not allowed to go there by yourself in your own truck... عراقي للابد
@@GLOBEWATCHERS darn it ...thanks for the reply
Mucha gracias! ❤
Go in early summer, at high noon at upper cyn. Then do lower in afternoon.
Where can I go see something mesmorizing like this without the crowd?
You see the pictures and it looks like something you can do on your own. However, the beautiful colors are from high end Cameras and its a separate tour which cost more. I also hear it takes 2 hours to get there. No thanks. You can see the same crap in Moab for free.
I love this. I wanna go there 💛
This is a good video! Thank you for this video
Natalie Gennaoui no problem at all! We appreciate the nice comment 🙌🏼
how long does the tour take? thanks
Yo that's my mom in the video fam😑
Such a beautiful place! Great video!
Thank you, Oscar! 🙌🏼
What is the ticket price
It’s crazy how the prices have jumped I find the lowest price at $98 in 2022
😱 what?! That’s so crazy! Thanks for letting us know. It is useful for everyone who wants to visit nowadays!
I wish they would do a private reservation tour, I'd pay the amount just so I can get good photos for the gram and not have people scratching their bum in the background lol
Aris Golseen we agree, hahaha! 😅
They do have a tour specifically for photographers but it does cost more. Here's the link www.antelopecanyon.com/photographic-tour-2/
You can actually kayak into the canyon by yourself without a group or guide for free
Wonderful place . Beautiful creation by nature.....🙄🙄
How many hours for $65?
to any considering this trip - don't go if you think you are going to get awesome photos. You are rushed in & out and the guides can be pretty rude at times if you linger (like in the video)
Look up Canyon X, not quite as cool, but you can at least take your friggin time.
Yea no way I’d pay that to be pushed through when I can’t get photos. They need to manage that better
More on Antelope Canyon--we were just there: ua-cam.com/video/7JEHB-S-yVE/v-deo.html
Nice video😉😉😉😍😍😍
Balaji Naik thanks!
to pay 65$ and to seat in that stupid pick up truck lol
Such an expensive trip, $120 for 1 hour, and all you are doing is basically navigate through the crowds. oooof!
You did not show the walk outside, not complete☹️

Stay positive. You got a bit negative here and there. They want their pics just like you. Unless you just want it for yourself.
I don’t think she’s negative-I appreciate the truth. I would rather know the people congestion factor before I go.
Why does everyone have to spread positivity? I think people should be more natural instead of all these insta fake smiles. That's not what anyone on Planet Earth needs.
And it's really toxic. 🤮
You’re gorgeous
Thanks.
too fucking expensive. $65 for ticket ???? ripping people off as always
Now y'all know you ain't suppose to be taking videos there lol
No thank you. Too many other places in the Southwest where you can hike in peace.
$65 is NOT expensive! 😂
I thought she was going to say something at LEAST over the $100 mark!
