Fantastic all around. In for thanksgiving from out of state, daughter wanted to go on a boat ride, decided on a sunset cruise through copper canyon. Smooth ride, plenty of time for both sides of boat to get photos, very accommodating staff, loved all of the information and learning new facts about the city and landscape.

There were 8 of us for the sunset tour on the 7th of November! The weather was perfect! The tour was fabulous for us! The crew (Tim/captain and Janeen/tour guide) were great and knowledgeable and laid back! We had a great time learning about history and seeing the bridge and city lights! Go for it if you visit! None of us had any complaints! All Aboard!!

We went on 2 cruise excursions. One to Topock Gorge and one lake Havasu sunset cruise. We loved both and the weather was great!. The only negative was that the sunset cruise boat didn’t have a restroom which would have been great with all the water offered on the boat 😄. Overall great trip.

Janeen and Cpt Tim were great guides and it was a fantastic time! In addition to all the beautiful sights the history Janene shared along the way was a nice surprise! Cpt Tim was great at making sure each side of the boat had photo ops so people weren’t scrambling to get pictures!! Highly recommend!

We can't believe they won't be, as they are a very industrious group. If you can get on the 6-person luxury boat that goes up the river with a very simple lunch provided, do it. It is the best tour on the river. ENJOY

Are there any tours that take you to the waterfalls besides the hiking trails?
Janene S
Lake Havasu City, AZ1 contribution
Hi Bonnie,
We do not offer hiking on any of tours and excursions. As far as waterfalls, there are not waterfalls here on Lake Havasu. If you are inquiring about Havasu Falls, these falls are located near the Grand Canyon. There are several companies that offer hiking tours in that area. I would recommend searching Grand Canyon to review your options.
Thank you,

We travel 5 miles from our Docks at the London Bridge into the South Lake Basin to Copper Canyon. Copper Canyon is considered the most scenic canyon on Lake Havasu and seeing the Canyon this late in the day, the sun casts different shadows and colors on the rocks you normally would not see any other time of the day. Copper Canyon is also rich in history, it boasts of being the largest producing copper mine along the Colorado River in the mining era in this region. Upon departure from the canyon we travel towards and into our North Lake Basin and around the Island to witness and enjoy the full spectrum of the sunset.

We share the history of the area in detail throughout the experience. Our turn around point is the Sleeping Indian, this is a 1 mile rock formation, resembling the sleeping Indian chief, we share his story and his legend and when all is done you are part of the legend. Heading back to the docks as day turns to night, its all about stargazing. We have a compilation of classic tunes playing throughout that are fitting for the experience.
4 Hour Topock Gorge Experience - 9:00 am - Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays. - Price is: $75.00 plus tax. Topock Gorge is considered the mini Grand Canyon of the Lower Colorado River and can only be witnessed from the water. We travel through the North Lake Basin up through the Havasu Wildlife Refuge and into the Gorge. Our turnaround point is about 1 mile from where Interstate 40 crosses into California, we travel back into the Gorge where we serve a picnic lunch, with fresh fruit, cheese, crackers, cold cuts, sandwiches and cookies. This is a beautiful and relaxing experience.
We offer complimentary bottled water on all of Tours & Excursions and you are welcome to bring any other type of beverage and lite snacks on board as well.

Hi there are any of your boats Wheelchair accessible! A big step up or down would be a problem for me. Thank you.

I would say NO, they are not wheel chair accessible. I can't think how a wheelchair could be managed from what I remember, but call them to verify 928-716-8687
