Nice to watch a Havasupai Falls video without a loud dance music soundtrack. That was beautiful.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it, check out our other videos and let us know what you think ☺
Totally agree!
glad you notice that, usually al vid have some kind of pop dubstep music with drone flying.
I agree. Best capture I've seen. To the point and beautiful.
Same thing just different music.
Lots and lots of beautiful places in this world. Nothing but beautiful. Great video April. Thanks
What an amazing how-to vid! Much appreciated and happy travels to you!
AWESOME MUSIC!!! Excellent guitar playing honestly. Would love to hear more
I wanted to say thank you. I've been years ago and I think this was the best, most informative video I've seen. The only thing I'd add is to get to the parking lot a lot sooner, and hike when the sun starts coming up. Then you'll be hiking in less heat. (lived in AZ)
Krystal Tucker very good point! Thank you!
We spent a sleepless night in the car in the parking lot and got up before dawn to hike down.
you guys are a tremendous help to those of us planning a visit to Havasupai Falls... thanks much!
donald salas its a pleasure to be of any help.
Let us know about your experience.
And if you like take a look at our other guide videos in case you are looking for any other places to visit.
super nice, smooth and helpful video!! loved it!
AWESOME VIDEO ! BREATHTAKING VIEWS ! LOVE THE COLORS OF THE WATER , ETC ! BE SAFE! HAVE FUN! GOD BLESS YOU ALL ALWAYS ! ENJOYED !
Wonderful video! Thank you for sharing and educating people.
Amazing video. Watched it twice and used it to make up my mind about doing this. Thanks as I love the details as well.
Love the falls and the music!
Hilltop used to be dirt with no buildings. I always started the hike at night and slept in Cataract Canyon. But that was in the 70's and 80's.
Nice video.
This video was so much help for my trip, I'm planning this as an inspiration moment and huge stepping stone in my young life
Awesome! I'm so glad to hear that! Thank you! When are you going to Supai?
EXCELLENT video! Very well done and you make me want to visit for sure! Long haul from NC.... PLANNING HAS BEGUN!
Randi D You won't regret it! Havasupai is beautiful ❤
This place is so gorgeous i cant wait till August to go to az
Awesome Video. I was recently in ARizona, didn´t expect this beauty. I will go there again.
please do! it's a hidden gem!
Another great video, thanks April!
Mike Hubbard Thank you for watching! ❤
Nice video! Love the music. I'm definitely going to do this, and reference your video. Thanks!
This is the most informative video I have found. Thank you for sharing. I never knew there were caves to navigate and such a large descent to get to the pools. I am a mid level hiker (about 6-10 miles per weekend and walking 3 miles a day) so I will have to get my legs in better shape for the return trip on that one!
Bella Artista Thank you for watching the video, we are glad it helped you! keep training and good luck, if you have any other questions just let us know! 😉
This was such a beautiful video and very informative thank you so much
Awesome! Great video. Definitely helped me get an idea of what I'm getting into 💜
Martha C. glad it helped! if you have any questions just let us know ☺
Really great video, we'd love to head back to Arizona at some point and do this hike. It looks so amazing.
it is amazing! 100% recommended
We love road trips and been toad tripping around Arizona but never been to havasupai yet. I’ll put that on my list.
WOW! Nice video, so useful! Thanks guys, did a great job!
Félix Légaré Thank you! glad we could help ❤

Desi Velez Thank you for watching!
whats with the background music? it was very worrying. Kind of felt something tragic was coming
Sounded like 28 days later
Thanks for the video....very informative
Jack Beans thank you for watching!
Thank you for uploading this, I’m looking forward to prepping for this hike, what wildlife besides donkeys and bighorn sheep, I believe I seen in this video, did u encounter? Awesome video 👍🏻
come to the Pacific North WET...climb up to Larch Mountain or down if you prefer...takes ALL day to hike down from Larch MT down to bottom of Multnomah falls...our 5 yr old daughter, along with our 3 Scotty Dogs hiked this on longest day, June 21st...love living in PacNW, but is oh sooo cold, raining...a warm hike like this seems appealing!
Crytears sunny Thank you for the recommendations. Sounds great!
It's nice to watch a video about havasupai that isn't constantly assaulting my ears
Hey Roy! Thank you very much! unfortunately they are not very good answering the phone, my advice is to keep on trying several times a day. when my group decided that we wanted to go there, 3 different people called consecutively for a few days until bingo! someone answered.
Thankyou very much for your advice! I'll keep trying! Looking forward to the trip!!
+Roy Hamers awesome! have fun! 😃let me know if you make a video or something!
great video... Good job on hiking :)
Nice trip. Well done.
Thank you David! Are you planning on visiting Supai?
good job guys on doing it. i didnt make it down mooney :( i was too scared ugh. going back next june. hoping to conquer that fear :)
Thank you! it is intimidating to go down there but it is definitely worth it! you can do it! conquer that fear 😉☺
How did you go about getting permits
Woahhhh this is weird lol!! I came looking for a guide to this place & I wasn't let down, great guide!!! :) but that isn't the weird thing, lol I work at Walgreens, the one in the marina, and I occasionally would see your husband come in after work haha, big cereal fan he is.
small world!
He also introduced you as well I remember!
martin lopez hahahah omg!! How cool is that!! I'm going to tell him, he's going to get a kick out of it! ❤ so glad you licked the video!! if you have any questions just let me know 😉
Wish I did this when I was younger
your video was awesome though thank you for sharing
Thank you for posting the video, very cool and very informative! A friend and I are planning on taking the hike in April and your video answered a lot of questions! But I have one last question, what song is playing in the video, its amazing!
Ryan Hatten Hey! I'm so glad to hear that the video helped! The song was composed by my husband Carlos 😃 he's the guy with the long hair in the video ❤
Subscribed to you. Im going there soon
Parviz Samarkand awesome! have fun! trip of a lifetime
Amazing video! I love how you guys give so much helpful information about this trip. You guys are goals! Keep up the amazing videos
Itstephanieee Thank you so much for watching! there's nothing more fulfilling than to know that the video was helpful ❤
That is quite delightfully mind blowing/awe inspiring!!! But i'm worried about that last little bit. is that last portion w/the caves/ladders the worst part? Is it steep? I hike in LA often, but i'm not a fan of treacherous trails. just wondering….thanks for sharing!!
latanya letcher Hello! the last part that you mention is definitely steep and I would consider it a little dangerous that is why a lot of people skip going down to mooney falls and beaver falls, if you feel you can't do it You can stay and check out little havasu falls and havasupai falls, no climbing required!
its all chain guard rails and steps and ladders. No problem if you can hike there to begin with.
Thankyou for the video 😊
However we cannot go there
That place is so nice
Thank you 😄😄😄😄😄
Hey guys! Excellent video! It's nice that you guys went when it was cool (non-summer, I presume). Do you think it is a good idea to do a night hike up the canyon? Will it be too dangerous? I am thinking of doing it during late June, and a night hike would put me away from the sun and heat. Thanks!
Lord_of_Fedora Hi! actually very early hikes are highly suggested that way you don't have a deal with the sun! we went on April and the weather was very nice even a little bit chilly. hope this helps and good luck!
Hi! Do you actually leave your belongings at the campground while you hike around? or do you pack everything with you when you hike
lolsalad100 you leave you belonging at the campground ☺
Are the hikes difficult? Although it does look like there's some development there (ladders, bridges), setting the factor of time aside for the hikes, was there any difficult rock/cliff scaling? I'm setting some time next year to hopefully visit, but want to make sure I'm physically ready.
David Del Rosario No climbing. But the last fall does take some time. I wouldnt say the others are difficult to make (hikes to the falls).
Now the hike from the parking lot to the campground is long and in the way back the last section is steep and hard, but not impossible, if you are a regular hiker.
Awesome video thx! Booked my flight this month March 2018 to visit next month in April 2018. I assume most would say it’s too late. Any thoughts on how I could still visit Havasupai or any suggestions on how I could still accomplish? I really would like to go even if it’s just for a day or overnight stay. I don’t mind just using a sleeping bag to sleep on the ground as long as I can see it!
Grim Reaper Hello! The main thing is having a reservation, have you tried calling? That's currently the only way to be allowed in the campgrounds even if it's just for one night.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love the watch! Where can I find one?
Looks like such a great experience.. My husband and I just started hiking when is it that you felt you guys were ready for longer hike like this??
liliana fernandez we trained by taking long walks like for a month, I can't really say that we trained all that hard, this hike I feel it's more about resistance, more so coming back up, the good thing is that you can always stop and rest, take as long as you need, don't rush yourself
Hi April, your video is very helpful. What did you use to light your camp? Also, how far in advance would you recommend making reservations? Thank you
Hi! to light the camp we used flashlights, some head lamps and my sister took some solar light bulbs, but we where so beat that we didn't stay up for long after the sun went down.
I would definitely recommend making reservations way in advance, we made ours like 3 months prior to our trip, also have patience it takes them a while to answer the phone.
I hope this is helpful! ☺
Very nice...I think we're going this year. Not sure if I can walk that far......
curtis wallace you can always just take the helicopter ☺
Going down is easier than going up. I was 50 when I did it and my first time backpacking. My daughter got some sort of rash and could not get her shoes on so we took the helicopter out.
mycatsmom1 - how much is the helicopter ride just one way?
Such an awesome place...So beautiful...Thank you so much for sharing!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the video. Do you know if we could use bicycle?
Is getting a camping reservation the only way to hike to the falls? Also do you have to pay for parking before the trail head starts ?
Great video! What month were you guys visiting? It looks pretty low-key as far as crowds are concerned :)
Kathryn Roberts Hi! We where there in April, we did see a lot of people but nothing to crazy ☺ so glad the video helpful ❤
Great video, so helpful!!
Just a Couple questions:
Since you camped, im guessing you carried your tent and all your supplies with you on your hike over?
On the hike back to your car was the hike back all uphill or was it pretty flat?
Oscar Guillen Hello Oscar! we only carried the essential on the hike down and back up, all the camping supplies including tent, food everything, the mules took it for us (round trip).
The hike back up I would definitely consider it strenuous, it's harder to go back up then to go down. The last part of the hike, right before the parking lot is all uphill. I hope this helps, if you have any other questions, just let me know!
Than you so much!! Ill def let you know if i have more questions..unfortunately i barely heard about these amazing falls literally two weeks ago and am realizing how extremely difficult it is to get a permit..looks like 2017 is sold out anyway =( but will try again feb 1st of next year...
was feb 1st the day yall called?
Oscar Guillen I don't remember the exact date, but we called around January/February, have a couple of people calling at the same time, that way you have a greater chance of getting though.
Great video...I was told you need a permit do you apply ahead of time or is that where you were given wristbands? Is there a limit to the days your allowed to stay?
Mz. Fernandez Cuban Princess hello! you do need to make reservations ahead of time, we where given wristbands after checking in, regarding the maximum of days that you can stay make sure to ask when you call them, check the link below it will take you to their website theofficialhavasupaitribe.com/Havasupai-Camping/havasupai-camping.html
Hi there! If you use the mules do they drop your gear off at your chosen campsite or do you have to carry it from a drop off point?I see a lot of videos with people having coolers and chairs how do they get that stuff to their campsite?
Hi Ivan! yes you do have to carry it to your drop of point. They have a special place where they deliver everything, they check your tag to make sure that you are taking the right stuff.
Thanks! To be clear the mules drop your stuff at the entrance of the campsites then you carry your stuff 1/2 mile to the campsite you chose.
+Ivan1987 correct Ivan, Thank you! if you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Thanks for the vid. Are you able to camp by the falls? I was hoping to buy a permit & just bring a hammock to set up for the night. Is this possible do you know?
Brittany B Hello! Certain sections of the campgrounds are next to a creek, not the falls. I don't remember seeing any hammocks, I don't think the trees in the campgrounds are sturdy enough to hold a hammock, however I might be wrong I would ask about the hammock when you call to make the reservations.
Great video!
Thank you Amy!
+April Lorenz I've done the whole Havasupai experience and your video was not only beautiful, it was informative and helpful. Thanks! It was fun to watch!
+Amy Proctor Thank you Amy! I really appreciate your comment 💜 Have you done any other hike kinda like Havasupai? I'm looking into "the next adventure"
New Zealand has the best hikes in the world.....
+Amy Proctor all right! awesome! Thank you ☺
Great video!! How far in advance did you call for your reservations and what was the water temperature? Thanks Again!!!!
Carlos M Hello! we called 3 months ahead ☺
Beautiful video, so it took you 2 days to hike all the falls at Havasupai, right? So you just booked the 2-day trip, not 3 ??
Hi, I hope you can answer this question. Are the waters really cold? Anyways, this video is awesome! Thanks for uploading. :)
Monica Gonzalez hello! The water was cold, but we went in anyways ☺
When you stopped at the first falls were you already dressed for swimming? Where did you change?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Should I fly into flagstaff AZ to drive there ? Closest airport
Did you see the milky way and stars at the campground? Lol i know super random question but I'm just wondering. :)
Hello Joan Trinidad ! it is visible, but the amount of stars depends on the phase of the moon and how cloudy the night is.
Also your field of vision is limited because you are inside a canyon. I hope this helps! ☺
I think April through June and sept and October would be good to hiking
Very nice video April !!! When did you go down there?
It's our dream to do this hike and see this magnificent waterfalls!
We wanted to go last year when we were on vacation in Arizona but impossible to get a reservation even months ago so we couldn't go there :(
What advice would you give us to have an easy booking? (We called in March for August 2016 and called back several times but were told it was always full ... Or can we go there without reservation?
We want to go to Havasupai the next time we go to Arizona, your video makes us dream!!! :D
Florence Piessen Hi Florence! we went on April of last year, we had 3 people calling on the same day around the same hours, until someone answered! I know it can be a little difficult but it's worth it, keep on calling back until someone picks up the phone, I'll leave you the link where you can find all of the phone numbers and info theofficialhavasupaitribe.com/Havasupai-Camping/havasupai-camping.html
Thank you for watching our video, if you have any questions just let me know ☺
Thank you for your answer April!
Yes we called several times and were able to get 3 or 4 times someone on the phone who told us that the reservations were already full for the season without knowing which day we wanted to come :(
Do you think that being a foreigner is a problem? For if we are told every time it is full we will never go there :( Or is it possible to go down without a reservation?
Thanks again! :)
Florence Piessen you do need to make reservations I would not advise you to go down there without one, have you tried the hotel? maybe they have space, perhaps the campgrounds are currently full, I believe that they set up an internet based reservations for the camping area but it backed fired on them, the amount of reservations that they received was overwhelming, so they went back to their old system which is calling in and making the reservation. Currently Havasupai is a popular place to visit, I know that it fills up pretty quickly months in advance. It doesn't matter that you are a foreigner, when we went we saw a lot of people from different parts of the globe.
Ok thank you very much April for the information! :)
Florence Piessen anytime! ☺
Hello. Very nice. Please tell me where to buy pass for to enter the waterfall Havasu and a helicopter return ticket. I will go a Grand Canyon a summer and I want to get to Havasupai. Thank you.
Awesome video! Is three days necessary for the hike?
Thank you! I would suggest 3 days; the way that we did it is, we hiked there one day when we got to the campgrounds we set up our tent and the next day we used it to explore around and the third day we came back up. Does that answer your question? I think it's safe to say that we walked 3 days straight haha
are you planning on hiking there and also hiking back up?
+April Lorenz Thanks for your reply. Yes, that helps a lot. I'm coming from Chicago and I want make sure to bring all the necessities for the hike. My girlfriend has a bad knee, why I was asking if three days was necessary... I love the way you edit the video it was so helpful and fun to watch.
+SAMandLILSAM Thank you so much! I am very glad that you enjoy the video and that it was helpful 😊 if she feels that she can't wake it because her knee hurts you can always just take the helicopter back up, or rent a mule. Sounds like you guys are going to have a great adventure! if you have anymore questions just let me know I'll gladly reply.
Hi guys, nice video and very useful, i wonder can you give me some advise about the water, i see in the video he is drinking of filling the water, is it ok to use it for drinking? how long did you guys camp there, and when did you go, did you experience any rain during your camp? how is the toilet facilities, i am sorry for many Qs as i will be going 1st time. Thnx in advance for your advise
sri Prateeka Hello! We went in April, we stayed 3 days 2 nights. We drank water out of the faucets because we where told that the water was ok to drink, one of the persons in the campgrounds had a water tester to verify that the water was potable, he mentioned to us that it was perfect, regardless we checked everyday with the people that work in the area to verify the water was ok, also my sister took water pills in case we needed them.
Before going there we checked the weather report to see how the area was going to be during the days we where there, and it said that we where going to get light rain, so we made sure to pack up some ponchos and verify that our tents where water proof, once the rain came we where ready! be aware, some centipedes looking bugs come out when it rains, they never harmed us, they only look scary.
As for the toilets they have latrines with toilet paper and some hay looking stuff to throw once your done, no flushing toilets, nothing fancy, because of the hay stuff it does not smell as bad, also I read somewhere that they sometimes run out of toilet paper so just in case we took a roll.
For the flash floods I honestly don't know much about the subject, except if anybody is at risk they will not let you do certain activities, like go to beaver falls or mooney falls.
Hope this helps! if you have any other questions just let me know ☺
where did u check the weather at for an accurate forecast for that specific area?
Hello! Does every individual in a group have to make a reservation and show ID? Or just one of the members of the group does everything? Thank you!
Juan Fernando Hello! One of the members of the group cando everything.
what's the best time of year to go? Not too hot not too cold...
david sanchez I would suggest April, May, September, October ☺
Alguien sabe si hay cabañas ? O solo se puede acampar ? Costos ?
Great video. I’m motivated to.. what exactly do you need permits for ?? The parking lot ? Camp ground ? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks
dasboot360 Hi! Here is their website where you can check out more about the permits theofficialhavasupaitribe.com You need reservations to camp, to enter the park and to rent mules.
There's no roads lmao it's all dirt
great video! I just moved to Az and this is a trip I've wanted to do for years. I am hoping to make a reservation one of these years....any advice?
Hi! I would definitely say to make reservations far in advance.
If you are planning on walking back up take care of your feet (watch out for blisters)
Take water shoes and bug repellent and most importantly enjoy yourself! ☺
right on! thanks for the info!
+LyfeOnTheEdge of course, thank you!
