Top Phoenix Day Trips

Naala is very thorough and organized. She will give you running commentary about the surrounding land and history on the way up including the time left until the next bathroom stop or lunch. It is a long drive so just be prepared for that. If you are in a quiet group that is not chatty, there will be plenty of down time. Cell phone service goes in and out but she has WiFi on the van which is very nice and she keeps the temperature adjusted well. Lunch is a chicken place in Page with some sides. Chicken was great but don’t expect traditional Native American food which I did.. There is a chance to get some on the way back to Phoenix as there is a 30 minute stop at a trading post with a restaurant (food to go). Make sure you bring a head covering. The sun is brutal and she does provide an umbrella on the walk down to Horseshoe Bend. She will wait for you in the parking lots of both places. No filming allowed in Antelope Canyon just pictures. The guide will offer to take pics for you in addition to the ones you take in your own. He will use your camera and they turn out amazing. It’s about an hour trip walking but there is a metal ladder to descend. There was a girl with some mobility issues in another group and our guide always made sure she was making it ok and helping. Our guide was great but with any tour it is luck of the draw. The Horseshoe Bend part you have to walk down on your own and look at it and come back (we had an hour). I would read commentary online about it if you want to know more since there is no guide. She has plenty of water and snacks in the back also. The running commentary will stop on the way back to give everyone a chance to rest and relax after the sun. Be sure to buy any shirts or sweatshirts that say Horseshoe Bend or Antelope Canyon there in Page. If not, the trading post has only Grand Canyon ones and like me, you will be out of luck. . Most of the bathroom stops are 10 min max in Page so look and buy quickly because she will come looking for you if you go over the allotted time. Ask me how I know lol. We left a little after 8am from the Einstein Bagels and was back in the parking lot before 9pm. It’s a quick day though and Naala has the trip timed down. She also does trips to the Grand Canyon so check her out. .
