While visiting Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Arizona, we decided to take a cruise to Antelope Canyon. Tours leave from both Antelope Point Marina and Wahweap Marina.
Bookings
We booked our cruise online and checked in at Antelope Point Marina 30 minutes before the tour. It costs US$50 for adults and US$30 for kids age 4-12 (as of September 2024). Tours last an hour and include a bottle of water.
Lake Powell
After boarding the boat, we started cruising on Lake Powell, passing sunbathers on the shore and stand-up paddlers near the mouth of the canyon.
Antelope Canyon
As we approached Antelope Canyon, we could see the canyon walls getting narrower and narrower.
The colors started to change on the walls of the canyon, and there were some beautiful reflections in the water. The guide pointed out how high the water level once was by showing us the difference in the colors of the canyon walls.
When we reached the end of the water, the guide mentioned that some boats used to be able to go a bit further into the canyon where it’s much narrower.
Conclusion
Overall, it was a nice way to enjoy Lake Powell and get out onto the water, although we would have preferred to visit the more spectacular parts of Antelope Canyon on land.
