Quick Details
Rattlesnake Canyon, offers a lot with the textured sandstone and its phenomenal curves. Which is great for scenic views and abstract photography. This tour will show the natural illuminating sunlight on the canyon walls, while it is changing colors throughout the seasons. This Rattlesnake Canyon tour allows sightseers to experience the canyon for around 60 minutes in their selected time slot. With the new updated guidelines, masks are required throughout the entire tour. Inside the tour vehicle and inside the canyon itself.
Dress Code
Closed end shoes are recommended, and are required for our 3 private canyons. We discourage skirts and dresses due to the ladders and the terrain. We ask our guests to dress modest because we do accomodate families. Canyons can be up to 10 degrees cooler than the external temperature, so layers are recommended for your comfort. The temperature is usually five to ten degrees cooler, all year around in the canyons. Dress in layers to accommodate changing temperatures.
Windy Days
If it is windy, we do recommend a hat and handkerchief to cover your nose, mouth and ears. Sand enters the canyon in all directions so photographers please bring a cover for your camera, a plastic shower cap works best

2. We operate on Mountain Standard Time
Our company, Adventurous Antelope Canyon Tours, DO NOT operate on Daylight Savings Time however the Navajo Nation does acknowledge the time zone. We may be located on the Navajo Nation but we as a business DO NOT operate on DST. We operate on MOUNTAIN STANDARD TIME all year round. That is the same time as Phoenix, AZ and Page, AZ. If you find yourself confused, the best thing to do is Google ‘Page, AZ time’ and follow the time listed. You can also turn off the set automatic time zone and set it to ‘Phoenix, AZ’ while you are visiting Page and the surrounding area. Google Maps and the time on your phone will adjust based on your current location so please keep that mind. Once again, we DO NOT operate on Daylight Savings Time.
3. No Bag Policy

On our multiple canyons tours – we do allow a small bag but it remains in the vehicle while in the canyon. (AACT is not responsible for any kind of theft, stolen property, or any damage)
