Havasu Falls 3 Day Hiking Tour By Hydros Adventures
Havasu Falls. © Robert BodyHavasu Falls is a stunning paradise on the canyon floor near Supai Village, the reservation center of the Havasupai Indian Tribe. It is tucked into a canyon about 35 miles west of the Grand Canyon National Park boundaries. "Havasupai" means "people of the blue-green water". Havasu Canyon is an amazing destination that few people get to experience. The series of "blue-green" waterfalls in Havasu Canyon is an oasis of astounding beauty and tranquility and is considered a very sacred place by the Havasupai people.
To experience this paradise requires a drive of about 185 miles from Sedona, Arizona to Hualapai Hilltop which is the adventure launching point. It is then a 10 mile descending hike through majestic red rock canyons to an awe-inspiring camp below Havasu Falls. En route, hikers will will pass through towering cliffs, by ancient pictographs, and across pristine streams to Supai Village - the only place in the Grand Canyon still inhabited by native people. From there it is just a couple of mile trek to the world-renowned Navajo, Havasu, Mooney and Beaver Falls. These spectacular turquoise waterfalls are heralded pristine travertine pools, making some of the world's best swimming holes and most spectacular hikes.

Havasu Creek From Mooney Falls. © Robert BodyHavasu Falls offers a variety of year-round adventure for all types of people. Families, experienced hikers, corporate groups, and students can all find a trip that's right for them. The weather from March through November is best, but winter trips offer the most solitude. Hiking (with mules to carry your gear), and camping at beautiful Havasu Falls Campground is a most popular option. Hydros also offers transport by mule or helicopter for an additional fee. And if camping under the stars is not your cup of tea, the Havasupai Lodge is a quick two mile hike from the Falls.
