Las Vegas: Grand Canyon Sunrise, Antelope canyon, Horseshoe

This full-day tour from Las Vegas covers three of the American Southwest's most striking landscapes in a single trip: the Grand Canyon South Rim at sunrise, the sandstone corridors of Antelope Canyon, and the sweeping river bend at Horseshoe Bend. Rather than joining a large coach group, you'll travel with up to 13 other passengers in a small-group vehicle led by a professional driver-guide with photography experience, making it easier to find a good vantage point when the light is best.

The day starts with an overnight departure from your Las Vegas hotel, timed so you arrive at the Grand Canyon's East Rim as the sun comes up over the canyon walls. From there, the tour continues to Antelope Canyon, where a certified Navajo guide leads you through the narrow, light-filled slot canyon passageways and explains their geological formation and cultural significance to the Navajo Nation. The final stop is Horseshoe Bend, where the Colorado River loops around a dramatic red rock cliff, one of the most photographed viewpoints in Arizona.

Given the early departure and long driving distances involved, this is a full-day commitment with return to Las Vegas in the evening. Two Antelope Canyon ticket options are available when booking, Lower Antelope Canyon or Antelope Canyon X, so you can choose which slot canyon experience suits your trip.

Your day begins with an overnight hotel pickup in Las Vegas, with the vehicle heading toward Arizona so you arrive at the Grand Canyon's South Rim in time for sunrise. You'll take in panoramic views from the East Rim as the canyon's colors shift in the early light, with time to photograph the landscape before continuing on.

From the Grand Canyon, the tour moves to Antelope Canyon, where a local Navajo guide walks you through the narrow sandstone corridors and shares the canyon's formation and cultural history. The last major stop is Horseshoe Bend, where a short walk brings you to the overlook above the Colorado River's dramatic curve. The tour then returns to Las Vegas, arriving back in the evening after a full day on the road.
