Had a entertaining scenic trip down to copper canyon. Not only was scenery great. Dan was very informative on the past history of lake Havasu, and how the London bridge was constructed and the lake was formed.

Recently my wife and I took a boat tour with paradise cruises up the gorge to topock, which has amazing scenery. The cruise was reasonably priced, and Cpt Dan made the cruise just that much more fun. 5 Star rating, you should go. P.S. They also do trips to Cooper Canyon, my next cruise for sure.
