Antelope Kayak in Page, Arizona offers a unique combo of guided kayak tours on Lake Powell and prime-time access to Lower Antelope Canyon. Paddle through blue waters then hike iconic sandstone walls all in a day.
Located in Page, Arizona, Antelope Kayak offers an immersive way to engage with two of the Southwest’s most compelling natural wonders—Lake Powell and Lower Antelope Canyon. The company combines guided kayak tours with exclusive hikes through the slot canyons, crafting an itinerary that invites visitors to experience the dramatic geology up close and from unique vantage points.
Lake Powell sprawls across the Arizona-Utah border, defined by its deep blue waters cutting through towering sandstone cliffs. The lake’s maze of inlets and arms provide a paddler’s paradise, where quiet coves meet wild, open water. Antelope Kayak’s exclusive kayak rental options allow you to navigate these channels at your own pace, with the option to join guided tours that illuminate the geology and ecology of the region.
The Lower Antelope Canyon hike—a highlight of the offerings—takes visitors through narrow, curving passages carved out by millennia of floodwaters. The canyon’s orange and red Navajo Sandstone walls glow vividly in the prime daylight hours, creating striking contrasts of shadow and sun. Guided admission tickets included in the tours ensure access during the most photogenic times, when light beams penetrate the otherwise shaded canyon.
What makes Antelope Kayak stand out is its ability to blend water and land adventures seamlessly, providing a side-by-side experience of two vastly different landscapes that practically define the American Southwest’s rugged beauty. This package is ideal for visitors seeking a day packed with activity and awe, combining physical adventure with contemplative wonders.
With a backdrop shaped by ancient geological forces and a name synonymous with the iconic slot canyons of the region, Antelope Kayak is a go-to for those eager to engage with Page’s outdoor heritage, whether navigating sandstone corridors or paddling beneath towering cliffs on Lake Powell.
