This Antelope Canyon tour is designed for experienced, professional or keen photographers only. Please note, though, that it is not a photographic workshop. Your Navajo guide is not a professional photographer, but can give you tips about the canyon.
Between March 1st and September 30th the photographic tour departs at 11.30 a.m. to get you to the canyon prior to noon. You will travel to the canyon entrance in a specially converted four wheel drive vehicle. From there, you walk into it. Weather permitting you can capture the first shafts of lights coming down through the canyon walls for the first hour. The colors are more vibrant in the second hour (reds, blues and purples). You will be in the canyon for approximately 2 hours. The total tour time is about 2 1/2 hours long.
Between October 1st and February 28th the winter photographic tour departs at 9.30 a.m. During these months the shaft of light does not occur as the sun is traveling more over the southern hemisphere. Colors at these times are more pastel (pinks, yellow, peach and orange).
