Tour #1 - Our hiking tour is our most popular tour. It is considered a regular hiking tour that allows guests to hike with a tour guide through Waterhole Canyon.

Tour #2 - Our photography tours are tours specially reserved for avid photographers wanting to take pictures of the canyon and/or landscape. Each photographer booked must have a camera and may bring a tripod, if they choose. 

*Tag-along participants are allowed to tag along on a photography tour but they are simply there to accompany the photographer. No photography equipment is permitted for tag-alongs. Tag-alongs are not permitted to be models during a photography tour. This tour is strictly to photograph the canyon and the landscape. 

Tour #3- Our specialty tours are media tours. Guests wanting to book a tour for engagement photos, photo shoots and/or video shoots must reserve a specialty tour. Commercial use permits must be filled out and approved by Lake Powell Tribal Parks and Recreations prior to the scheduled tour date. 

During the summer season, we want to inform all guests that we implement a high temperature policy. We are located in Arizona and during the summer season we can reach triple digit weather. As a company, our guests' safety comes first therefore when the outside temperature reaches 95 degree Fahrenheit we close the canyon. All tour operations end.

We strongly recommend reservations throughout the year. While we do take walk-ins, the best way to guarantee a specific tour time is by making a reservation.

No, guests must first obtain a guide from a business permitted tour operator, such as ourselves. Guests will be transported to and from Waterhole Canyon by WCE tour guides. This regulation has been mandated by the Navajo Nation Parks and Recreation.

We are located on Highway 89 Milepost 542. Due to our rural location, we do NOT have an exact address. If you have a smartphone (ie. an iPhone or an Android) then just type our company name, Waterhole Canyon Experience, into your maps and it will bring you to our location.

We do not experience large crowds compared to our competitors but during the holidays we do tend to get busy. We do however, try to keep our guest to guide ratio 10:1.

The temperature is usually five to ten degrees cooler, all year round in the canyons. Dress in layers to accommodate changing temperatures.

Due to the worldwide range of guests we serve, we do NOT allow any pets or service animals on tour. We use a van to transport our guests to the canyon site and our fleet is not equipped to transport pets or service animals. We do NOT offer any pet sitting service or leashing area for your pets/service animals. Please make prior arrangements for your pet/service animal before your tour reservation.
