The general tour (~$50 for adults, ~$28 for children 8-12. Ken’s Tours offers several options for visits – a general tour, a deluxe tour, and a photographer’s tour. We booked with Ken’s Tours based on reviews of Antelope Canyon tours on TripAdvisor. We chose to visit Lower Antelope Canyon because of the fewer crowds, and because we liked the challenge of the twists, and the ups and downs. But because of these factors, Upper Antelope Canyon is generally more crowded, and taking pictures of the formations can be difficult. Upper Antelope Canyon is easily accessible for visitors whereas Lower Antelope Canyon is only accessible with a series of ladders. To see this best, we’d recommend you visit around noon when the sun is high in the sky. Upper Antelope Canyon is well known for its light beams, the way sunlight filters through the dust.
Both canyons are spectacular with more photo opportunities than any 2 hour visit can handle.
