Excursion d’une journée à Antelope Canyon et à Horseshoe Bend au départ de Las Vegas
Profitez d’une journée loin de la ville de Las Vegas lors de cette excursion aux superbes Antelope Canyon et Horseshoe Bend. Départ à environ 6:00, vous serez conduit en autocar climatisé à votre destinations. Une fois arriver à Page, en Arizona, vous atteindrez le Lower Antelope Canyon. La visite à pied est à environ 10 minutes du centre de Page et vous marcherez environ un quart de mile à l’extrémité inférieure du canyon, où vous entrerez dans le canyon par un escalier avec des balustrades. Une fois dans le canyon, vous explorerez le canyon de grès étroit avec quelques ascensions d’escaliers, se déplaçant vers l’extrémité supérieure du canyon. Il y a de nombreuses possibilités de photos étonnantes et les guides Navajo natifs partageront l’histoire et la culture de la région. Cette partie de l’excursion dure environ 75 minutes.
Depuis le canyon, vous visiterez Horseshoe Bend Overlook, qui requiert un tour de 1,5 mile (2,4 km) de marche sur le sable et les rochers. Vous atteindrez un canyon de 1 000 pieds en regardant le fleuve Colorado au fond de Glen Canyon. Page, Arizona est à un point plus élevé que Las Vegas, ce qui en fait environ 4 à 5 degrés plus basses qu’à Las Vegas peu importe la journée. Il est également possible d’avoir de fortes pluies à Page, ainsi que de la neige en hiver.
Vous passerez environ 3 heures aux points de vue panoramiques de Page, Antelope Canyon et Horseshoe Bend. Cette visite guidée panoramique sera effectuée dans un autocar de taille normale avec des toilettes à bord et des prises de courant individuelles pour chaque siège. Le guide peut vous fournir une assistance en Mandarin et en Anglais. Il y a également une application de commentaire / guide qui propose des commentaires en Mandarin et en Anglais, du texte, des photos et des vidéos pendant la visite. Cette application peut être téléchargée gratuitement sur votre smartphone, Apple ou Android.

It's expensive and long and probably more geared towards their Mandarin speaking target audience but it was all worth the money.
The problems started even before the tour began. I called the tour operator the previous evening to check our pickup location. They had used a default location which I wanted changed to be close to our place of stay. The representative I spoke to confirmed the change. I asked whether I would get a message with driver/guide and bus details since that had happened on my prior Grand Canyon tour but I was told - no just show up at the pickup location. When we reached our changed pickup location next morning before time, we saw a CHD local tour operator bus. When we tried to board, the driver just gestured to us and drove away. I panicked and called the operator who said another bus would be coming soon. It did come but it was almost full and when we asked the guide whether this was our bus, he told us we ought to have been at another pickup point. When I said, it had been changed, he commented that he was not informed. Our party of 3 could find only single scattered seats in the bus and had to request other passengers to move so we could sit closer together. Here I must say, that Antelope Canyon itself is amazing and the Navajo guide was great. The next shock for us was lunchtime. We are vegetarians and had requested a vegetarian lunch. They had none and again the guide said - I was not told. To his credit, Freddie, our guide, made it a point to specially go and organize some food for us. Our horrors were not yet over. After a long and tiring day, as we relaxed on our journey back to Vegas, our bus broke down. The operator, CHD, made all the passengers of our bus board the next CHD bus coming on that route. This meant 2 busloads of people were now in one bus. Only the very elderly and kids could find seats. The rest of us stood and traveled for 2 hours - packed like sardines. Thankfully, closer to Vegas, another empty bus met us so we could sit and travel the remaining distance. So, if CHD is the local operator, I'd definitely say, look for another tour.
Do not buy this tour! After posting my pictures I had many people reaching out to me to do the same tour. One of my friends found THIS exact tour for around 60 dollars less. Whoever is running this here is just rebooking through the other site and pocketing the money!
Visit to Antelope Canyon is breathtaking! The bus ride from Las Vegas is long, but I knew that going into this. So be prepared for about 5 hours each way. Our Guide was from China, as is the company operators, and most of the tourist. With that said, while our guide was great, she was very hard to understand most of the time...lost in translation. Final note: at our first stop, the guide told us we had to pay 10 PP bus driver surcharge. When I refused, she told me it is their website. I told her I booked through Viator and no such fees are listed. She was insistent, so I paid the 20 for 2 of us... just be aware of this.
If you’re looking for a comfortable bus ride from each pt, it’s fine. The tour guide @ the Canyon was also fine. If you’re trying to learn something from the tour guide on the drives, then this is not for you. Her English made it difficult to understand anything. Bfast and lunch weren’t good.
