What Is Kayak Lake Powell in Page, AZ?

Updated

Kayak Lake Powell is a veteran-owned tour and rental company based in Page, Arizona, that runs guided kayak trips and self-guided rentals on Lake Powell, plus hiking tours of Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon. It fits travelers who want to combine paddling on the lake with slot canyon hiking, and who prefer a guided option over arranging permits and gear independently.

What the company offers

Based on the site's own descriptions, the lineup breaks into four categories:

Offering What it involves
Antelope Canyon kayak tours Guided paddling on Lake Powell's Colorado River channel, across from Antelope Island
Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon hiking tours Guided hikes into the slot canyons with geology and history commentary
Kayak rentals Self-guided paddling on the lake
Paddleboard rentals Self-guided paddling on the lake

The company describes a combined kayak-and-hike format as its signature trip: you paddle to the hike rather than driving to a separate trailhead, which the site presents as a way to avoid the crowds and lines it associates with other operators.

Where it operates

Page, Arizona sits on the Colorado River near the Utah border, close to both Lake Powell and Antelope Canyon. The site notes that Lake Powell was created in 1963 when the Glen Canyon Dam was built, and describes the lake as having more than 2,000 miles of shoreline. The dam is listed at 710 feet tall. Tours run on the lake's Colorado River channel and near Antelope Island, described as the largest island on Lake Powell.

Who it suits

  • First-time visitors to the Page area who want lake paddling and slot canyon hiking in one trip.
  • Travelers without their own kayak or paddleboard, since rentals are available alongside guided tours.
  • People who want interpretation, not just access — the site emphasizes guides covering the culture, history, and geology of Antelope Canyon.
  • Visitors who prefer a guided format over piecing together separate permits, gear, and shuttle logistics.

If you already own a kayak, are comfortable navigating Lake Powell on your own, or only want to hike Antelope Canyon without paddling, a standalone rental or a hiking-only operator may fit better.

What to check before booking

The site displays a promotion labeled "America250" offering 10% off everything, and flags the Antelope Canyon kayak tour as likely to sell out. It does not publish prices, tour durations, or group sizes in the material available here, so confirm those directly with the operator before you commit. Antelope Canyon access is also regulated, and rules differ between the Upper and Lower canyons — ask which permits or fees are included in the tour rather than assuming.

Practical points worth verifying when you book:

  • Meeting location and whether transport to the launch point is provided
  • Whether the hike portion requires a separate canyon entry permit
  • Physical requirements for the combined paddle-and-hike trip
  • Cancellation and weather policies, since lake conditions can change
