Lake Havasu is an absolute oasis – between its pristine waters, rugged canyons, and iconic London Bridge stretching across the Bridgewater Channel, what’s not to love? Even if you think you couldn’t adore the lake any more than you already do, there’s a boat tour we reckon would change your mind in a heartbeat. Sunset Charter & Tour Co. offers a sunset cruise that leads to Copper Canyon and back, and the skyscapes are simply breathtaking.
Incredible views like this can be all yours when you book with Sunset Charter & Tour Co, which sets sail on the beautiful Lake Havasu.
The trip begins just prior to sunset and lasts about three hours, allowing plenty of time for a leisurely ride to Copper Canyon and back.

All sorts of wildlife, including bighorn sheep, burros, mule deer, coyotes, and waterfowl, will be stirring about in search of their last meal before dark, so keep an eye out!
