As with most slot canyon tours, these are family run. Our guide provided commentary on the plant life and advised the creation of the slot canyons were from years of wind and rain. More detail was provided on the welding needed for all of the stairs and ladders used during our tour. Our female guide, forgive me but I do it recall her name, never offered to take any photos only other participants in the group. I read several reviews for other tours offered for Antelope Upper and Lower where guides knew exactly the best photo op places and took pictures. The tour as mentioned was in Deer Canyon as our Antelope Valley tour was cancelled due to rains previously received.
The drive to and from the hiked area is @ 20/25 minutes. Our guide provided commentary on both legs but unfortunately for those in the 2nd or 3rd row of seats it was very difficult to hear all of the commentary. A small speaker in rear of vehicle would have been nice to enhance the guides voice. Both myself and the couple next to me had a hard time only hearing bits and pieces.
This was a tour booked as our original tour was cancelled. We wanted to see the slot canyons and this was the one tour available the morning our we were leaving.
We enjoyed our tour but thought more commentary would be provided.
Such an amazing experience!! Both myself & my nearly 16yr old son, LOVED this experience!!! Deer Canyon, our guide, John & one of the sisters who run this canyon exclusively... are TOP NOTCH from start to finish!!! I was a bit worried that it wouldn't keep my teenage son engaged and enlightened, but I couldn't have been more wrong… he was just as captivated and swept up in the awe-inspiring beauty and history of this hidden gem as much as I was, if not more! John, our tour guide, was beyond knowledgeable about this particular slot canyon & it's history… giving wonderful & interesting antidotes throughout our journey. There was, literally, no question he could not answer about this gorgeous slot canyon, known as Deer Canyon, plus, we got the feeling that one could ask John nearly any question (from geographical/technical to ‘the meaning of life’ itself ;) that he could not answer!! A true guide in every sense of the word!! He took us through at the perfect pace, allowing us to take as many pictures, and ask as many questions, as we felt inclined to. A true gem amongst this amazingly gorgeous gem, known as Deer Canyon!!!!! Don’t hesitate for a second surrounding the chance to see & experience this true natural wonder… truly!!!
We had an amazing experience. Our guide, Wally, was very knowledgeable and friendly. He expertly guided us through the canyon, telling us the history and geology of the area. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a wonderful slot canyon adventure!

Thank you for the kind words. We're pleased that you enjoyed your tour.
Great canyon, good adventure- v less crowd.
Guide was alright, should have explained history. I have seen really great reels of guide explaining canyons and history and was expecting the same. Although he gave time for photos and did click for us so overall experience was good. This was my first time so dint knew about different canyons- i would suggest to do research about different canyons. There are about five canyons as far as i know- deer canyon was little tight for getting good pictures and hence it was less crowded.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for choosing Deer Canyon for your first slot canyon adventure!
We're glad you enjoyed the beauty of the canyon, appreciated the smaller crowds, and had plenty of opportunities to capture photos. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the historical and geological interpretation. We strive to provide an experience that combines the canyon's natural beauty with insights into Navajo culture, history, and the formation of the canyon, and we'll use your comments to continue improving our guide training.
Deer Canyon does offer a different experience from some of the more well-known slot canyons. Its narrower passages and limited daily visitors create a more intimate and adventurous tour, which many guests appreciate for the peaceful atmosphere and exclusive access.
Thank you again for your thoughtful review. We hope to welcome you back to explore more of Navajo Nation's incredible landscapes in the future!
The pictures you see are real! The Canyon is really that amazing! I had planned to do a slot Canyon tour for a while now. I didn’t think it would be as incredible as it was. The walk to the Canyon was not demanding at all, but the views were breathtaking! My guide,Teniya was very friendly and informative. She explained the tribal history of the lands and made the trip more enjoyable.
Better than lower and upper antelope, way less traffic, don’t feel like a business at all, we were the only group for that time slot, the experience was simply unforgettable!
Our guide Julie was very knowledgeable about the Navajo history and ways. She showed us what certain plants had medicinal qualities. She showed us what landmarks there were and the meanings. The canyons themselves were remarkable and stunning. I do recommend being in somewhat decent shape, since you need to climb up and down ladders/stairs and move throughout at times narrow passage ways. I do highly recommend this tour, not rushed at all.
A very informative tour given by an excellent guide - Alice. Some climbing of ladders required but not too tricky. Plus go through some tight spaces. However views and info provided were excellent.
Life time treasure experience, me and my husband enjoyed a lot. We just managed to climb up and down from the mountain. It may be a little bit difficult for some seniors. We took beautiful pictures and can last for a life time.
Good experience, worth the money.
I would do it again if i had to. Great views, beautiful canyons. Worth the price.
If I could leave no stars, I would. I googled Pink Jeep Tours Sedona, Viatar website came up. I clicked on the website, in LARGE print over the tour options it said Pink Jeep Tours Sedona. I proceeded to scroll through the options and found the tour we wanted and purchased. We arrived to the Pink Jeep Tours in Sedona and found out the tour we booked waa 3.5 hours away in Page AZ. We called to the tour guide company and they said we had to reach out to Viator. I called Viator and they said we had to reach out to Pink Jeep Tours in Page. I did both and neither were of any assistance. I was very disappointed. I explained the website that came up should not show other locations if the heading (in large print) reads SEDONA as the location. We were out over $200. Again very disappointed.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how frustrating this situation must have been, especially when travel plans don’t go as expected.
We would like to clarify that our company is not affiliated with Pink Jeep Tours, and we do not advertise or operate under that name. Additionally, our official listing on TripAdvisor clearly identifies our tours as Antelope Valley Canyon Tours, with no reference or link to Jeep Tours. It appears this booking may have been made through a third-party platform, and unfortunately we do not have control over how search results or headings are displayed on those sites.
Once a reservation is confirmed and a guest does not arrive for the scheduled tour, it is considered a no-show. As outlined in our cancellation policy, no-shows are non-refundable. We understand that mistakes can happen during the booking process, and we sincerely regret that this led to confusion and disappointment.
We appreciate your feedback and will continue working with our booking partners to ensure our tour information is as clear and accurate as possible for future guests.
The experience is worth the money
The drive to the canyon is about 20min from the parking lot. You will be immersed into the canyon. Fantastic!
It was a great experience to see and walk through the wonderful slots of Antelope Canyon. Wally, our guide, shared a lot of information and history of the Navajo area and was very helpful by taking pictures for us (we even learned a new photo trick from him). The whole family enjoyed this experience and I highly recommend this for everyone.
Great photos, guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Keep in mind, you are on tribal lands not general US parks. Also, there are several various entrance points which offer opportunities for different scenery experiences. This one did have several ladders, so if you are afraid of heights or severely out of shape one of the other canyon points might be a better choice.
This was a bucket list hike for me! We had a wonderful tour guide who took us through Deer Canyon at what felt like a leisurely pace. We had been told by someone who had done an Antelope Canyon tour that she felt rushed and that there was barely time to take pictures. Our tour guide didn’t make us feel rushed and she was even so kind as to take pictures of me and my husband, along with separate family photos for 2 families who were on the tour with us. She also gave us some interesting background on the land and how 6 sisters (some of whom are still living in this land) used to play in the canyons while their parents herded sheep. We had an awesome experience and would highly recommend it to anyone who is considering visiting the canyons.
Fantastic experience! Breathtaking beauty and an absolutely wonderful guide. Would do this tour again in a heartbeat!
Antelope Canyon and our tour guide Wallace delivered an excellent experience that we will never forget!
This was a great personalized experience. Alex, our tour guide was friendly and great. She gave a lot of information about the canyon itself and its history. Had great tips for photos. The canyon itself was beautiful. There are some narrow passages, stairs, and a decent amount of ladder climbing. Would not be great if you have mobility problems. Having said that, our non-verbal son with autism was able to navigate it with ease.
Great tour, Felicia was very kind and knowledgeable. I have never been to the other canyon tours but the Deer Canyon was beautiful and had plenty of pic opportunities.
This was incredible. It is definitely not for anyone with a fear of heights! We went on the last tour of the day through Deer Canyon & it was spectacular. Our guide John was a wealth of knowledge of Tre Navajo tribes, the George of the formations & history of the area.
I highly recommend this.
This little hike felt like real adventure. My mom who is 77 thought it was great and piece of cake walk through the canyon with lots of beautiful scenery. My 4 year old son..ooohhh did he enjoy climbing all those ladders. Our gide Mike was awesome with lots of great knowledge of the area and history to tell! Would definitely do it again and highly recommend to others!
I am a fit 67 year old but have bad balance and yet this was a perfect fit for me - nothing too extreme but make sure you have stamina enough to go by up lots of ladders. Beautiful setting and views. Ask to go with tour guide named John - I am very curious and pummeled him with questions. He had SO much interesting info about the environment, the Navajo culture, the geological history, the plants, the animals, the history, everything. Not a question posed that he didn’t answer and go beyond with great info. Impressed was I!
Must do this! It was perfect all around. The guides were great and the canyon was breathtaking. We highly suggest it- definitely worth the trip!
It was easy to book
I got all the messages needed
Everything worked well
I recommend Viator as a platform
This was an experience and a half!! Loved the off roading and the brief history given by Monica, our Navajo tour guide!! Best of all, the climb down the canyon and the climb up through tiny nooks and amazing red rock dens!!
Bring water for after the climb!!!
It's really amazing. From outside, you couldn't tell there is a narrow trail there. But when I went downstairs, it was incredibly pretty. Our guide, John, is super friendly. He is willing to help us take photos. And he cared about our safety.
20 minutes van/truck ride to the canyon. Then decent down via metal steps with handrail. The, climb up the canyon. Beautiful experience. I'm unable to attach any picture, sorry. Got amazing pictures.
Monica was excellent, she gave us lots of explanations about the place history and let us take many pictures without rushing us.
This tour takes small groups of 8-10 peoples to a real exploration of the caves.
Unlike other antelopes tours which are flats, this deer canyon tour has lots of ladders to climb up/down, kids will love it, but be aware that elderly or people with vertigo may not enjoy the experience.
The colors of the rock look comparable to other Antelope caves, the real value being the extra climbing and the guide patience.
The canyon itself was really amazing and the trip guide Alex was really nice and patient with my questions! The reason for my 3 star is guide Wall-E/something on those lines. He was rude and insulting for no reason. I had a bad trip with him.
It was quite a drive getting to Deer Canyon via the tour guided van. If you get motion sickness inside a car, beware, its pretty bumpy and takes about 30 min altogether going to and driving back to the station.
entire hike/climb was about 30 minutes if you stop to rest and take lots of pictures and that was with a group of 8 people.
Also, dont do this excursion if you are afraid of heights and or heavy/large person because you will be squeezing through narrow tight spaces. Tour guide wasn't what I expected for a tour guide.
I would have liked to hear history about the place and significance of certain canyon features. He didn't talk much unless asked.
I dont know that the experience is worth the price paid per person but its definitely worth doing once and braving the tall metal stair ladders.
The owner operators of this tour had many customers who got lost coming to find the meet up place if they booked through Trip Advisor / Viator. Make sure to call ahead if you're a first timer. The map link provided to your email is inaccurate. Use the address on the Deer Canyon Tour website.
