Awe~Inspiring Deer Canyon Adventure Through Antelope Canyon - 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!!!

Absolutely gorgeous! Must do! - Excellent! This was my first time in a slot canyon. I had heard so much about Antelope Canyon I needed to come see it for myself. Deer Canyon was further south in the Antelope valley but it was excellent. My guide Alex did a wonderful job. It was just the two of us and we had some great conversation and learned a lot about the canyons. Definitely recommend go do it!

An Amazing Tour!! - 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.

Unexpectedly Beautiful - The experience in the canyon was amazing. First, if this interests, you go in the spring or fall or early morning during the summer, anything above 80-ish degrees is gonna be extremely hot. My wife and I scheduled the tour for 2 in the afternoon (not realizing how hot it gets) however we finished all of our other tours early so we decided to go there and ask if they would fit us on an earlier tour and they did. Julie, our tour guide, was very pleasant and accommodating, it was slower that day and she gave us a private tour. She explained much of the native culture along the route to the canyon (the route takes about 25 minutes to get to the area where you descend to the bottom of the canyon). It’s only about a 5 minute, easy walk to the beginning of the slot of the canyon. I knew about panoramic photos where you can take vertically, but I didn’t think about it while we were in the canyon, Julie showed us the best way to take the panoramic photos, see some attached to this review (unfortunately the app on the phone will not let me select panoramic photos, so I put the best ones that I could that were taken in regular mode), she helped us get the right light angles; simply beautiful.
I highly recommended this tour!

Well worth doing. - We had a wonderful time. Our guide was incredible. Just my granddaughter and myself plus our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about the Navaho Nation and the canyon. He took several photos and was super patient and professional answering our questions. I cannot say there is one thing we did not enjoy about this trip.

Check my description - 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.
