Sunset Tequila Cruise on the Colorado River — Grand Tequila Tour in Laughlin, NV

On the Colorado River at Laughlin, Nevada, The Grand Tequila Tour offers a two‑hour sunset tasting aboard the Grand Celebration Yacht. Boarding at the Aquarius Casino Resort Boat Dock (1900 S Casino Dr, Laughlin, NV 89029), this adults‑only cruise pairs three premium El Tequileño tequilas with river views that change from bright desert glare to molten orange as the sun slides behind low Mojave bluffs.

The scene is intimate: a single decked yacht, small crowds, and the slow, steady motion of the river. Key features are the Colorado River channel, the riparian cottonwoods and tamarisk that line the banks, and the basalt and alluvial bluffs that catch the sunset. Sound is part of the draw—water lapping at the hull, a distant call of gulls, and the clink of tasting glasses. The itinerary is simple and refined: a welcome margarita, three tequila tastings selected to highlight blanco, reposado, and añejo profiles from El Tequileño, and snackable dips with optional menu items for heartier appetites.

Why this stands out in Laughlin: much of the town’s activity is land‑based—casinos, riverside bars, and patios. The Grand Tequila Tour flips that script, putting the river itself at center stage. On water you get a different perspective of the desert‑river edge, where stubborn cottonwoods mark the floodplain and sediment fans pile up where side channels slow. For visitors who want an evening that is part tasting class, part sightseeing cruise, the Grand Celebration Yacht does both with relaxed service and a local flavor that complements Laughlin’s resort scene.

Practical notes: plan to arrive at the Aquarius Casino Resort Boat Dock no later than 5:15pm for a 5:30pm departure. Guests must be 21+. The cruise lasts roughly two hours and moves at a leisure pace, so it’s accessible for most travelers who can stand and move around a small vessel. Bring a light jacket—river temperatures can drop after sunset—and cash or card for optional food add ons like street tacos or deluxe nachos.

This experience is ideal for couples, small groups, and anyone curious about tequila or the Colorado River’s quieter side. Book early—seating is limited—and treat the evening as a tasting seminar with a view: taste three El Tequileño expressions, learn the differences between them, and watch the Laughlin skyline soften into night from the water.

Onboard staff share tasting notes and answer questions; expect friendly, informal commentary rather than formal instruction. Parking is available at the Aquarius Casino Resort and nearby public lots—check with your hotel for validated options. If you’re photographing the scene, use a fast shutter to freeze glass reflections and bracket exposures during sunset. Reserve through the provided booking link to secure a spot on dates with themed evenings or special menus.
