Sunset Charter & Tour Co. offers a sunset cruise that leads to Copper Canyon and back, and the skyscapes are simply breathtaking.

Traveling 12 miles in each direction, the tour leads into the South Basin of the lake en route to Copper Canyon and Steamboat Cove. 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!
Sleeping Indian, a unique, one-mile-long rock formation, is the turnaround point.
Summertime brings an extra special treat in the form of an underwater light show mimicking the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights. Classical tunes play in the background all the while, making you feel nothing but utter peace and contentment.
Passengers enjoy complimentary bottled water, and small coolers are allowed on board (just no stemware, please!)
You can book directly on the Sunset Charter & Tour Co website, or by calling (928) 716-8687.
If you just can't get enough of Lake Havasu, Sunset Charter & Tour Co also offers a lighthouse tour that takes you up close and personal with 20 of the 28 replica lighthouses along the shoreline.
The tour, which costs $60 for adults and $55 for children, stops just short of the California border and showcases the rich history of the Colorado River Valley, Lake Havasu City, and the iconic London Bridge.
