Monument Valley Tours from Page and Antelope Canyon

Monument Valley is about 120 miles from Page, roughly two hours by road through Kayenta, so it works as a day out from the same base you use for Antelope Canyon. The bookable tours start in the valley itself: you drive there, pay the park entry, and a Navajo guide takes you round in an open-air truck. That is the part you cannot do on your own, because the backcountry arches and the hogan visits are off the public loop and closed to private cars.

Which tour fits a day from Page

Two hours each way is four hours on the road, so the length of the tour decides the day.

Pick the one that fits your drive:

Prices, ratings and review counts from our October 2026 data check. They are per person, and none of these three includes the $10 park entry.

The full day is the one to book if you can sleep near the valley. It runs about seven hours with Monument Valley Tribal Tours, covers the Three Sisters, John Ford Point, the Totem Pole and the Mittens, then crosses to Mystery Valley for the Ancestral Puebloan ruins. Squeezed between two two-hour drives it makes an eleven-hour day, which is a lot after an early canyon tour.

For a there-and-back day, the Backcountry Jeep Tour at $68 is the sensible size: two and a half hours, the restricted backcountry included, and a traditional song from your guide along the way. Dineh Bekeyah Tours runs a similar Scenic 2.5-Hour Guided Tour for $70, rated 4.9 from 819 reviews, with pickup from the loading area outside The View Hotel and music at the Big Hogan arch.

The time-zone trap

This catches people every summer. Antelope Canyon tours run on Arizona time, which does not change in summer. The Monument Valley tours on this page run on Utah time, which does. From March 8 to November 1, 2026, the valley is one hour ahead of Page, and the operators ask visitors coming from Arizona to leave an hour earlier than they think. A 2 pm tour in the valley is 1 pm in Page.

The same hour matters if you self-drive. The park’s last entry to the Valley Drive is 2:30 pm from October to January and 4:30 pm from May to September, on valley time.

The costs the listings leave out

• Park entry: $10 per person. Navajo Nation Parks charges it at the gate, per person rather than per car, and the America the Beautiful pass is not accepted. None of the tours above includes it. (Checked in October 2026.)
• Tips. Guides’ tips are not included.
• Food. Lunch is not included on the full day, so bring something or eat at The View Hotel’s restaurant by the visitor center first.
• Fuel. Kayenta, 25 miles south of the valley, is the last big town for fuel on the way in.

Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley in one day

It can be done if you start early. Take a morning Lower Antelope Canyon tour in Page on Arizona time, leave by late morning, and book an afternoon or sunset valley tour, remembering the extra hour in summer. Antelope Canyon tours book up first in peak season, so secure that slot before you choose the valley time. If you want Horseshoe Bend as well, put it at the start or end of the day in Page: it is a short walk from the parking lot. For the canyon itself, the rules guide covers what you can bring, and the Navajo tour operators page explains who runs which canyon.
