| My daughter and her family came from So. California to visit my husband and me for a week's vacation. Trying to keep to active young boys busy (ages 6 & 8) can be hectic at times. So we decided to try the cruise to Havasu. It was absolutely amazing! The boys were thrilled to see the different rock formations and all as we rode down the river - and seeing the 2 wild rams was an added bonus. The 2 hours at Havasu was just the right amount of time for a nice lunch and a little shopping before heading back.
My husband and I (the locals of the group) plan to take the cruise again in the near future. We have already recommended it to several of our neighbors who have considered it but not taken the boat yet. |

| The tour was really good and the site-seeing details pointed out on the trip were very much appreciated. We found out after the trip that there are other jet boat tour options that are offered through casinos in Laughlin and for the same price, there are added benefits. For example, automatic water "mister" is provided on some of the tour boats (as opposed to a "hose" that was sprayed in the middle of our boat). Additionally, some tours offer cold compresses for your neck, which would have been welcomed in the 100 degree heat. |

| We had a terrible flight with Allegiant Air and a terrible stay at Harrah's but the Jet boat was the best thing to happen to us in our four day stay. I could of stayed on that boat forever. Our Captain was a great guy. Everybody needs to do this. You will love it! |

| This is great because you get to see the Colorado River cruising on a jet boat at 45 mph. We've been to Laughlin many times and finally decided to take this tour and am glad we did. So much to see on the way to London Bridge, at London Bridge, and on the way back. My recommendation is don't go when its 110 degrees out because the boat isn't air conditioned and bring plenty of water. Otherwise, I highly recommend taking this trip, you'll see things you've never seen before and won't be able to see without taking a boat. |

| My wife and I have taken this tour twice before. This time we took it with several of our family members (total of 13) who are already posting their opinions. Laughlin is Africa-hot this time of year (from June/August), but the hours on the river in the jet-boat were a refreshing change from walking outside and roasting or being inside a cold smoke-filled casino. The jet-boat staff is entertaining and efficient as well as being very knowledgeable about the history of the area. The time that we spent passing through the Topock Gorge is the high point of the trip. |

| We had 13 members of our family meet at Harrah's for a family reunion. The highlight of our trip was the Jet Boat ride. We all had a wonderful time and we were all able to sit together on the boat, which was very nice for us. We would recommend this trip to everyone. |

| I was with 13 family members (age 40 and up). The trip was everything described and even more beautiful. What my husband and I noticed about 15 minutes into the ride was that we were more than ready for it to be over (us to the London Bridge already). Having been at Laughlin with all the bells and whistles and having our pace change from "GO GO GO!" to a boat ride was for us kind of boring. About 6 people on the way back fell asleep. The driver was fun and informative, on our way back he offered to spray us with water before getting on the boat, while on the ride back he squirted down everyone who welcomed the dowsing. That was nice and refreshing! In case you don't know; it is HOT at the river, the boat is not air conditioned, the motor is loud and the wind whips the crap out of your hair and skin. If you are lucky, the person seated near the window will put their hand in the water to get you wet with the spray! A camera is a MUST, it is a beautiful trip. We actually saw a small plane that was docked with boats along the shore. I have no idea how it landed there but was cool to see.
Another cool thing is that EVERYONE WAVES at you! Like a serious wave you wave to your neighbor at home, you just can't help but wave back and then you become the wave initiator.
You sit on a boat for 1.5hrs, is it worth it? Yes |

| This is an excellent way to spend a day. The Boat is great, the Driver was very skilled and very knowledgable, the River view is awesome. The only downfall to the entire six hours, and I repeat only downfall was the time spent in Lake Havasu. There is nothing to do while there unless you want to eat and drink in four Restaurants (all owner by the same company). It would be so much better to be able to walk where there actually was something. Looking at the London Bridge only uses about ten minutes of your time. |
