Full description

This guided kayak adventure combines a paddle across Lake Powell with a hike through Water Antelope Canyon. You'll travel in a small group led by a professional local guide who knows Lake Powell and the canyon well and is certified in CPR, first aid, and Wilderness First Aid (WFA).

A safety lesson is part of the experience, and you'll paddle a performance kayak surrounded by the Arizona scenery. As you move through postcard-worthy views, keep an eye out for marine life, take photos along the way, and listen as your guide shares tidbits about local history and culture.

Your destination is Water Antelope Canyon, a secluded slot canyon that can only be reached by water. Stunning red stone rocks surround it, and once you're inside, you'll hike through the canyon with your guide and admire its radiant light channels. Compared with other slot canyons, this one is especially peaceful, with minimal foot traffic.

After exploring the canyon, you'll kayak back to the original launch site, where the tour ends.
