We have taken enhanced health and safety measures—for you, our other guests, and staff. You must follow all posted instructions while visiting Antelope Canyon.

An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, senior citizens and Guests with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable.

By visiting Antelope Canyon you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19.

Help keep each other healthy.

ALL THIS IS STILL VERY IMPORTANT TO US, BUT DO KNOW THERE IS NO MORE MASK MANDATE

WEARING A MASK ON TOUR IS NOT ENFORCED, wearing a mask on tour is totally optional – RESPECT those who choose to wear a mask.

At Antelope Canyon Tours the safety, health, and well-being of our guests and crew members is our number one priority.

We are closely monitoring the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization’s (WHO) statements regarding the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases and following the guidelines from these agencies and the local health departments.

Our Procedure Changes:

We have increased the frequency and focus of our cleaning procedures with our tour vehicles, our office, and our gift shop. Using hospital-grade cleaners and disinfectants, we have elevated the cleaning and sanitizing frequencies of high-touch areas (such as handrails and doorknobs) and other surfaces. During our tours, we will, while supplies last, provide hand sanitizer and we have our bathroom facilities here in the office with soap and water.

Other measures to increase safety include:

  • Temperature Checks, if needed
  • Wellness Checks our crew, daily to ensure they are healthy and symptom-free
  • Cleansing tour vehicles between each departure with EPA registered hospital-type disinfectant.
  • Social Distancing where possible
  • Reduce passengers on tour trucks/vans (Examples of our tour vehicles can be found in our Gallery.)
  • Requiring masks during tours
    • If you don’t have a mask, we will have masks available for purchase
    • If you are unable to wear a mask we kindly ask you to book when the Navajo Nation no longer has a mask mandate*.
    • Mask is required regardless if you’ve been vaccinated or not, mask but be worn 100% of the time and you cannot remove your mask to take a photo – if this upsets you please revisit us when the Navajo Nation no longer has a mask mandate.
    • Tours to Vermilion Cliffs, masks are required for the drive to and from, while we are hiking masks should be worn only when social distancing is not possible.
