Havasu Falls is a 100-foot waterfall dropping into a turquoise pool—arguably Arizona’s most photographed waterfall. It is located in Havasu Canyon on Havasupai Tribal land, 10 miles from Supai Village. No walk-up visitors or day hikes are permitted. To visit, you must secure an advance reservation through the Havasupai Tribe’s official booking system at havasupaireservations.com. Reservations release on February 1 each year and sell out within days.
Two accommodation options are available: camping-based stays (approximately $455 per person for three nights) or lodge accommodations (approximately $2,277 per room for four guests, three nights). Permits are non-transferable and cannot be resold. The hike from the trailhead to Supai Village is 10 miles one-way; from there, another 10 miles reaches the falls. Total round-trip distance is approximately 20 miles. Difficulty is rated strenuous. The official season runs February through November, but the canyon can close temporarily due to flash flooding.
Dogs are not permitted. Swimming in the pool below the falls is allowed. Once you arrive at the campground or lodge, this waterfall is within reach of your base camp, and you can spend days exploring the cascade and nearby pools. Book your reservation as early as possible when permits go on sale.
