Whatever adventure you choose, we guarantee you will be making special memories to treasure for years to come.
I think the most off putting part was as we were leaving.. the push was on to ‘tip the staff as that’s what they work for’. Made us feel like if we didn’t tip, staff wouldn’t get paid?! it was buffet, nothing served to guests.. all go and get it AND we all cleaned all our own tables?!
A must do at least once.
Very peaceful and scenic ride...
I highly recommend this to anyone. The crew was great.
They also offer boat rentals for those looking to either fish or enjoy themselves. During the winter months they launch a classic paddle boat which plays host to brunch and sunset dinners. The paddle boat is also available for rent, for those looking to truly enjoy the river's nightlife.
Arizona National Wildlife Refuge & the Lower Colorado River
The Kofa National Wildlife Refuge is in Arizona in the southwestern United States, northeast of Yuma and southeast of Quartzsite. The refuge, established in 1939 to protect desert bighorn sheep, encompasses over 665,400 acres of the Yuma Desert region of the Sonoran Desert. Visitors often encounter the bighorn sheep!
The Lower Colorado River, below Picacho State Park, offers unparalleled viewing of desert canyons, the river valley, mountain ranges with vast wilderness areas, and the floodplain and associated riparian environments that are only accessible via the Colorado River waterway and adjacent lakes. Surrounding lakes include Martinez Lake, Ferguson Lake, Squaw Lake and many more. Our river cruises are with seasoned captains and crew, and they enjoy letting you in on the history of the area.
Our dinner cruises on the Colorado King are one of the most popular attractions in Yuma AZ. We also have plenty of free parking, courtesy of Fisher’s Landing, as well as numerous on-site amenities. We look forward to seeing you onboard!
