- We're spilling the tea about our Antelope Canyon tour experience! 😱 Antelope Canyon is an insanely beautiful canyon in Arizona. But it became SO famous in the last years that it is almost impossible to really enjoy this place with your own eyes. In this video we also visited Kolob Canyons and Zion National Park in Utah, where we did two awesome hikes 🥾🏜 We hope you enjoy this video through Arizona and Utah! 💛

I went to Page, AZ over Memorial Day weekend in 2023. I had a blast! My experience with Antelope Canyon was the complete opposite and I’ll explain why. With me being a photographer, I chose to take the Photographer tour. I paid a little extra for that tour but there was only 5 people including myself in our group. Of the 5 people only 3 of us had DSLR or Mirrorless cameras. The other two used their phones. Our guide was great and helpful. Here is the best part. We were able to spend 3 hours in the canyon! We were allowed to explore and roam and take all the photos we wanted. There were signs posted saying no video recording. We were allowed to bring tripods and our camera bags. It’s so dusty in there that you do NOT want to be changing a lens so I used a wide angle 14mm lens and kept that on the entire time. I was able to capture many breathtaking images (I have a vlog on my channel showing many of my images). If you know how to operate the settings of your camera you will be fine. I took some great photos in there with my iPhone too. You are right about them bringing those big groups in/out. We saw them and yes the guides did sound rude telling the people to keep moving because they had to get the group in and back out so the next group could come through. I will definitely do it again.
The canyon looks beautiful.. Keep the funny outtakes coming!
We will hahah the canyon was super nice!
When your laying out your trip on the map 1:33 what program are you using to illustrate? Thanks in advance
Tolles Video, ich liebe es, an eurer Reise teilhaben zu können🥰🥰
My husband and i have done both Upper and Lower Canyon (a year apart). I loved it. Our Navajo guides were great and our tours weren't too busy. (Lower busier than upper but its also easier to get to). We did a private tour at the lower canyon (worth it) and also included lunch (a taco frybread thing) very tasty and special native american tea. To describe the differences, Upper Canyon you walk through at entry level, and the slots are shaped more like an "A", so the base is wider and you can walk the whole thing through. Lower canyon is shaped more like a "V", and you have to navigate many metal staircases down to start, then up at the end to get out of the canyon. Lower canyon is longer, so you get more time in the slots. Truly a most beautiful experience. For less people try midweek if you can.
Glad that you had a better experience! ☺️👏🏼 The place itself is one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever seen, but we just had bad luck with our guide/tour… it was midweek and not even the perfect timing for the most beautiful light 🤷🏼♀️
Hi Isabelle and Flo :) I came across yours vlog when was preparing for my first visit in The USA. You're so amicable couple! Thanks for videos and greetings from behind the border- Poland :)
I have heard that post-Covid, many tourist destinations have been quite crowded due to everyone wanting to go out and explore once again.
We just came back from upper Antelope last week. It was so crowded. We bought the tickets from Viator $179/ ticket. We couldn't take ourselves pictures because we were pushed towards the front. It's so beautiful but so sad we couldn't take the pictures.
We just went to Lower Antelope Canyon with Ken’s tour! And it was beautiful, we had 1 hour down the lower canyon and the guide very kind and help us to take pictures! So we had a better experience than you! I highly recommend having a tour there!
What month did you go? Is it hot
Could you please let me know what time during the day was your trip in Lower Antelope Canyon?
BEAUTIFUL ❤
Amazing place just like MOAB, UT.
I am sorry you didn’t have a great time in the Antelope caves. I visited it 7 years ago and it was not bad. The fee was minimum and we took as much as pictures as wanted. I am no photographer, just pint and shoot and my photos came out magnificent.
There is a special tour just for photographers, of course it is even more expensive.
For those unaware. Antelope Canyon is almost 30 miles long. There are plenty of other options to see the canyon. Each section of the canyon is owned by a different family. With some tours being hours long, one of which is 6 hours.
Can i go to antelop canyon without tour guide ?
Nope..
No. You have to have a Navajo guide.
🙂🙋👍👏
Canyon X is a good alternative

Ihr habt einfach den falschen Anbieter gewählt! Bei lower Antilope Canyon Tours waren Fotos erlaubt und die Gruppen waren sehr klein.
Ja mag sein... bei uns war kein anderer Anbieter mehr verfügbar (haben "nur" 2 Monate im Voraus gebucht). Durftet ihr auch Videos machen? Uns haben sie gesagt, dass niemand dort filmen darf, nichtmal mit Smartphone. So schade...
They have an advance permit lottery online but your chances are equally, well, virtually zero in winning a permit. I've applied every month for the last 20 months and haven't won. Many have applied for many years and haven't won a "Wave" permit.
Why is this natural rock formation so restricted to public access ???
On tribal land
@@erinclarocca That and people are dummies. Past vandalism has also lead to the restrictions.
Because the tribes know they can profit off of this. So they rip off tourists to look at nature
These areas belong to the Tribe so the US Park and Service department has no control over it!
This is the problem with both of these. One is super expensive, going to be just over three hundred bucks for my family! The other is very difficult to get into, and a long trail, and I think its almost designed that way to push you towards spending money at the other. Disappointing.
I don't like all these natural wonders the lord left for us to enjoy , having a lottery system or tickets to get in . It only makes more people want to go more when its restricted
Tribal lands, their god doesn’t want the sacred lands ruined by a bunch of outsiders
If you had too many people going, the place would erode and be badly damaged. They have to fund the permit system and lottery process. None of this is free. Somebody has to pay for the infrastructure.
We understand and we are not against the lottery idea! But we think the people winning the lottery every day already pay enough money to fund the system 🤨😅
Thanks. This is a rip off.. We will avoid
