It's an amazing place. And an exhausting walk. But completely worth the effort. It's a little rustic and a little dusty. If you're a beginner probably should take the helicopter ride down.

Just breathtaking and as pretty in person as it is in pictures. Hiked to the bottom of the falls and beyond as a day hike from our campsite.

We went to Havasu Falls last week, hiking in and staying at the lodge. The falls are utterly fantastic, beyond words. The lodge is plain and it is expensive, however you are paying for the experience and it is well worth it.I would like to address 2 misconceptions though. One, I saw no signs of animal cruelty at all. The mules, horses, and dogs look healthy and well fed. These are working animals and they live outdoors so perhaps they are not so groomed as people expect animals to be. There were no open sores, no whip marks, nothing to indicate maltreatment.Two: the majority of the people are friendly and helpful. This is a different culture and just because they are not overly gregarious does not mean they are rude.

The horses used for the tourism trade at Havasupai Falls are kept in the most appalling conditions, and are often being literally starved to death. Many of them have open untreated wounds and are grossly underweight. There was one recent incident where a donkey with a broken leg was still being used to carry supplies and tourists luggage to and from the falls. Please, please strongly reconsider visiting here, as the only hope for these animals is that if tourists boycott the site, the owners will be forced to reconsider their treatment of these poor animals

This is an amazing place to hike and camp. My group and I wanted to hike in and out of the canyon in 3 days mid of Oct. We started our hike down from Hualapai Hilltop trail head around 5:30 Am to avoid the sun. It was one of those gorgeous breathy day we didn't need to leave that early, when we realized this we were almost there. It took us a little over 4 hours to hike the first 6 - 7 miles to get to the Supai Village, where you will pick up your permit to hike/camp. You will need a reservation and permit to hike here. You can find more detailed information and phone numbers on the Havasupai Tribe official site (http://www.havasupai-nsn.gov/tourism.html) . The village has stores, school, airport (helicopter), mules, many dogs :-) Picked up permits, got my coffee and another 2 miles to get to Havasu falls. The sound of it will call you from miles away, loud blue, green, turquoise amazing clear but powerful waterfalls. There are many camping areas and bathrooms (relatively clean). We walked crossing the camp area towards the end, where the second water falls (Mooney) is located. We found a camp site right on top, where the water starts to drop down. This will be on the right side of Mooney falls walking forward. Many people get tired and unpack right when they get to the camping area, but if you continue to walk a little farther, you will find private locations, with amazing views towards the end of the camp. Many picnic areas just to indulge the moment, and the whole package or rest. I would need many days in there to enjoy each picnic table, for they all offer different atmosphere and view. Next day, hiked 3 miles to Beaver falls downstream, if we had continued Colorado river and havasu meet 4 miles after Beaver falls. Pack light, unless you book a mule to take your stuff down/up for you. There you can buy food, water from the store which is far from camp site, or use a drinking spring water. You may want to bring filtration system, if you are water sensitive like me. Few people couldn't sleep at night, since they are used they like it quite and they complained the water falls were too loud. On the other hand, if I wasn't talking, walking or doing something, the sound of the water falls was soothing me to a point I kept on passing out and sleeping on random places and areas :-) there was a time my friends thought I disappeared but I was sleeping unwillingly on one of those picnic tables. I don't even know how it happened, but that sound was very soothing and relaxing to me. Many people talk how the locals down there are not friendly, at times they sound rude, or they don't like other people and other negative stories. Which I also believed in the beginning. I was even scared of talking to them, but after few encounters I soon realize the culture difference that is making them look as if they were rude and they didn't like us. NOT TRUE! Just because you didn't get the smile you wanted to see or the reception you are used to, or the style of talk or what not doesn't make one rude. They are different, have different culture, and they have their own way of communicating. I needed to make that point, since I was overwhelmed by the whole phone conversation I had with them before going and my analysts after that. It's not them, it's totally Me :-) This is also a good place for kids, if they can't hike, you can take a 6 min helicopter ride for $85 each to fly in or out. Saved a lot of time and sweat, but still have to hike to the falls which is around 2 miles (easy walk) from landing place. Book a head, go out and enjoy this amazing place. When you come out, you will believe that heaven is on earth. :) Must bring: Insect RepellentWaterWater ShoesSun blockHead lamp

We had been planning this trip for a long time. We had to wait until the temperature and weather conditions were just right. I had read on previous reviews on trip advisor that the people in the village were not friendly or helpful. Our experience was totally opposite. I think if you show up in their village and start demanding they take care of you, you will not be treated very kindly. We arrived at the village at 5PM, not very good planning on our part since the outside temperature was 94 degrees. I suggest you plan your hiking early in the morning or after the sun goes down. We arrived at the reservation center to check in for the campsite. I was pretty exhausted from the 8 mile walk to the village. The girls in the reservation center were so awesome. They could see that I was struggling and was not really looking forward to another 2 mile walk to the campground. One of the girls in the office (Kayleen) offered to let us sleep on her trampoline in the backyard of her home. My friend had already walked over to the Lodge to check to see if by chance there was any rooms available. Normally a reservation is required 6 months in advance. My friend explained that I was struggling and not sure I would make it another 2 miles to the campsite. Sharon at the Lodge switched some things around so we could have a room. WOW these people in the village are really friendly, and very helpful. The next day we headed out for the falls. Again not very good planning on our part. We hit Havasu Falls mid day and it was HOT. My friend wanted to see Beaver Falls so he headed out. I took my time since the heat was really getting to me. Finally made it to Mooney Falls. What a beautiful place. I headed back towards the village about 2PM. There is a nice spring that you can get fresh water right close to the campground. I soaked my hat and shirt with cold water and headed out. I had made the climb to the top right around Havasu Falls and WOW I was tired of walking. I was about a mile from the village, and a friendly local named Tim was cruising by in one of there Polaris 6 seat UTV. He was so awesome he asked me if I was headed back to the village, and when I said yes he told me to hop in he would give me a ride. Another WOW factor. Back to the Village now and they had invited another Tribe to the village for Saturday night cooking and a celebration of some sort. They were feeding everyone in the village, ever the tourists and it was amazing. They did their celebration that night with dancing and singing. It was really cool to watch. So since we had to catch the helicopter out Sunday morning early we decided to sleep on Kayleen's trampoline that night. The local people told us to be first in line to catch the helicopter since we had to make our flight out of Vegas Sunday afternoon. We had such an amazing trip, and as soon as we left we still missed the people. What a great village and all the people in it are truly amazing people. We are planning to visit again, but we will helicopter in and out and spend more time hiking around the falls.Mitch

I highly recommend going during the week and prior to spring break - it didn't feel crowded at all. We stayed at the lodge and it's basic but had everything we needed - even had WiFi - which the brochures say it won't - so it must be new. The bed was comfortable. We brought our own food - the food at the market was expensive and other people who were eating at the cafe said it wasn't anything to write home about. Loved the hike in. The waterfalls are amazing and it was warm enough to swim, but still cool enough for a comfortable hike. Found the locals to be nice and the village was quaint. The toilets at the trailhead and campground seemed new - they are composting toilets and were very clean and didn't smell at all. We found some trash on the trail and we helped pack some out. Leave no Trace!

This review is specific to Havasu Falls. I have a super long review of the Havasupai falls, village, hike, etc. under Havasupai Falls. Though not as tall as Mooney Falls, it is beautiful and photographs very well with people. We went during a time of year when it was too cool to swim (Nov 2nd), but it was still very much worth the trip. We went down to the rocks to get closer photos and got soaked so I would recommend wearing a rain jacket if you get closer (if you aren't there during swimsuit season).

The 9 mile hike into the reservation to the falls is as exciting almost as the falls itself. Recommendation of an early start is a wise one, for it tends to get warm very quickly with sunrise. Rerservations are required to visit and stay overnight, so make sure and plan ahead. We feel as this is a place we can visit over and over, just for the hike in and out of the reservation.

Amazing place to visit for the adventurers. Plan your visit with enough time and do your research. If you are used to camp, go for it. Otherwise, book a room at the hotel.
