Upper or Lower
Antelope Canyon tours upper vs lower is usually asked as though both halves were on the same shelf. On this site they are not. Nine of the thirteen listings name the Upper canyon and nothing else, three cover both canyons in one guided trip from $368, and one four-hour trip at $170 says Upper or Lower without fixing which. This page sorts that out with the listings rather than with folklore.
Quick answer
The short answer. There is no separate Lower canyon tour on this page. The Antelope Canyon tours upper vs lower choice here is really a choice between a walk in the Upper canyon, from $90, and a longer trip that covers both canyons, from $368. One four-hour listing at $170 is written as Upper or Lower and does not say which you get. Everything beyond that is the booking screen, not this page.
The honest version
Nine listings for one canyon, three for both, and one that will not say.
Thirteen tours are bookable here. Nine of them describe the Upper canyon on its own, and they are the reason this site exists. Three describe both canyons in one guided trip. One describes a four-hour run that takes in a canyon, Horseshoe Bend and the Glen Canyon Dam Overlook, and its own text says Upper or Lower. The thirteenth is a separate slot canyon reached by a stairway, and it is neither of the two.
So Antelope Canyon tours upper vs lower cannot be answered here as a straight head-to-head. There is no listing on this page that sells the Lower canyon by itself, which means there is no fare, no duration and no review count to put in the other column. Pretending otherwise would mean writing a comparison out of thin air.
What can be answered is the question underneath it: do you want one canyon or two? That one has real numbers on both sides. One canyon starts at $90 for seventy-five to a hundred and sixty minutes. Two canyons start at $368 for three and a half hours, and go up from there.
What the listings publish
Each point names where it comes from. Where the descriptions are silent, this page says so instead of filling in the blank.
They run $368 for three and a half hours, $444 for four and a half, and $556 for five and a half. Each description says Upper and Lower explicitly, so an Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon tour booked from this page really does mean both of them.
The four-and-a-half-hour and five-and-a-half-hour listings state in their own text that permits and park fees are included. The others say nothing on the subject, and this page does not extend the claim to them.
Its description names both canyons, a hike to a viewpoint at Horseshoe Bend, and lunch, alongside the permits and park fees. It is the longest and the highest-priced listing on the whole site at $556.
The four-hour trip at $170 describes an Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon tour together with Horseshoe Bend and the Glen Canyon Dam Overlook. Which canyon you walk is not fixed in the text, so do not book it expecting a specific one.
They run from $90 to $149, mostly around ninety minutes, and they are the most reviewed part of the page by a long way. None of them mentions the Lower canyon at all.
The two-hour trip at $110 describes a 135-foot stairway down into one of the most secluded slot canyons of the valley. It is neither the Upper nor the Lower canyon, and it is listed here so nobody mistakes it for one.
What nobody here compares
Price, length, reviews and named stops. Not width, not stairs, not queues.
Most pages on Antelope Canyon tours upper vs lower confidently tell you which walls are narrower, which floor is sandier, which one has ladders, which one fills with people first. None of that appears in any of these thirteen descriptions. The listings describe a route, a length and a guide; they do not review the geology.
That matters more than it sounds. A comparison assembled from somewhere else and printed next to real fares reads as though it came with them, and the one thing a buyer cannot check from the booking screen is a claim that was never on it. So the columns here hold price, duration, review count and the stops the text actually names.
Where the Antelope Canyon tours upper vs lower question is genuinely answerable from this data, it is answered: how many listings cover each, what both-canyon trips cost, how long they run, which ones include permits and park fees, and which listing refuses to say which canyon it uses.

The listing that will not say
Its own text says Upper or Lower. Nothing in the data narrows it down.
The four-hour trip at $170 is the cheapest way on this page to combine a slot canyon with Horseshoe Bend, and it is well reviewed for the price: 197 reviews at 4.3. Its description names the canyon, Horseshoe Bend and the Glen Canyon Dam Overlook, with a Navajo guide. What it does not name is which of the two canyons you walk.
This is not a translation problem. The text itself reads Upper or Lower, and that is how the listing is sold. If you have a reason to need one specifically — a photograph you are after, a canyon you have already done — then the Antelope Canyon tours upper vs lower question matters to you, and this is the one listing on the page that cannot settle it.
Two reasonable ways round it. Book one of the nine Upper-only walks and see Horseshoe Bend another way; or book one of the three trips that name both canyons, starting at $368, where the question stops existing because you get both.
Prices
Two bands, a long way apart: one canyon, or both in one guided trip.
Fares on this page start at $90. Antelope Canyon tour prices for 2026 run upper and lower in two clearly separate bands, and the gap between them is the single most useful number in this whole comparison: a walk in one canyon is $90 to $149, while a trip covering both begins at $368.
Antelope Canyon tours upper vs lower splits cleanly on price, and inside the higher band the three both-canyon listings are $368 for three and a half hours, $444 for four and a half with permits and park fees included, and $556 for five and a half with Horseshoe Bend and lunch on top. The extra money buys hours and stops, which is at least a legible trade.
If you are hunting for Lower and Upper Antelope Canyon tickets as a single purchase, those three listings are what exists here. There is no combination ticket sold separately from a guided trip on this page, and the Upper-only walks do not quietly include the other canyon.
How to choose
Every one of these can be answered from the listings themselves, which is why they are the ones worth asking.
Nine listings cover the Upper canyon from $90. Three cover both from $368. Antelope Canyon tours upper vs lower turns into an easy decision once that is the question.
The Upper-only walks sit around ninety minutes, with one running up to a hundred and seventy. The both-canyon trips are three and a half, four and a half and five and a half hours. On Antelope Canyon tours upper vs lower that is the real difference in the day.
Two listings say in their own text that permits and park fees are included: the four-and-a-half-hour trip at $444 and the five-and-a-half-hour one at $556. The rest are silent on it.
It appears on the four-hour trip at $170 and on the five-and-a-half-hour one at $556. Those are the two listings here that name a hike or a stop there alongside a canyon.
The nine Upper-only walks carry 6,183 reviews between them. The three both-canyon trips carry 51: thirty-seven, nine and five. High ratings on five reviews are a thin record, however good they look.
Then avoid the four-hour listing, whose text says Upper or Lower. Looking for the best Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon tours by review count means the three-and-a-half-hour trip at $368, on thirty-seven reviews rated 4.9.
Where this page stops
Widths, steps, queues and ages: absent from the data, absent from the page.
A page on Antelope Canyon tours upper vs lower could tell you how wide each canyon is, how many steps you climb, which one suits a toddler or a tripod, how long the queue runs at eleven in the morning, and which month is best for photographs. None of that is published in any of these thirteen descriptions.
Nor are group sizes, minimum ages, what you may carry, whether there is shade, or what happens if the weather turns. Those live on the listing you choose, and the listing is the only version of them that binds anybody.
What this page can hand you is checkable: thirteen listings, nine naming the Upper canyon alone, three naming both from $368 to $556, two of those including permits and park fees, one four-hour trip at $170 that says Upper or Lower, and no listing at all that sells the Lower canyon on its own.
Common questions
No. Nine listings cover the Upper canyon alone and three cover both canyons together, starting at $368. There is no Lower-only listing on this page to put in the comparison.
Three of them. Three and a half hours at $368, four and a half at $444, and five and a half at $556, the last one adding Horseshoe Bend and lunch.
None of the thirteen descriptions compares them, so this page does not either. What the data supports is a comparison of fares, durations, review counts and named stops, and that is what the tables above hold.
Because that is what its own text says. The four-hour trip at $170 names Horseshoe Bend and the Glen Canyon Dam Overlook and leaves the canyon open, so it is not the listing to pick if you need a particular one.
$368 for three and a half hours, on thirty-seven reviews rated 4.9. That is the lowest fare on this page that names both canyons in its description.
On two listings, which say so themselves: the four-and-a-half-hour trip at $444 and the five-and-a-half-hour one at $556. The other eleven do not mention it, so check before you assume.
About $278 more at the bottom end: $90 for the most reviewed Upper walk against $368 for the cheapest trip naming both. The extra buys roughly two more hours as well.
No. The two-hour trip at $110 describes a 135-foot stairway into a separate and secluded slot canyon of the valley. It is a third thing, and worth knowing about precisely so it is not mistaken for either.
Read it with its review count. The five-and-a-half-hour trip at $556 is rated 5.0 on five reviews; the Upper walk at $90 is rated 4.5 on 2,987. The second number is doing most of the work.
