| We both thought the cruise was beautiful, amazing, etc. We saw these two mountain climbers while on the cruise. That was something to see. We also saw a bald eagle and a blue heron. We went in March and it got a little cold after the sun set and I was freezing so I suggest taking a very warm jacket. All in all in was worth the money. |

| We loved the cruise. The Dolly Steamboat was lovely. Check-in, boarding and table assignment were a breeze. The staff was knowledgable, attentive and good-humored. The food was delicious. Best of all, the scenery was spectacular. A wonderful way to spend an evening. |

| this is a gorgeous lake and a fun experience. the onlly negative comment i could make about the trip was the fact that we were sitting outside at the front of the ship and all of the other passengers from inside the boat were coming outside to see the rock formations that captain was pointing out, and completly blocking our view. they were also posing for pictures and they were so close to our table that their butts were hanging over our table. gross when we were trying to eat.
the staff was excellent |

| Thanks for a fun evening. The ride was very enjoyable, and the narrator added so much to the trip. Dinner was great, well prepared and presented well.
Would highly recommend this activity for a family or group of friends. |

| My family and i decided to use this venue to celebrate our parents 60th Wedding Anniversary. They have always enjoyed boat travel and thought that this would be a new and different experience for them instead of sitting in a restaurant with all of the noise and clatter. My husband and I had taken the trip one time before and had enjoyed it and hoped this would be perfect for their celebration. My sister and brother in law joined us from CA who had also never been on this trip. We all thoroughly enjoyed our evening! Everyone was in awe of the Canyon and the beautiful scenery, we saw a Bald Eagle, a mountain sheep and hawks. The narrator of the trip was delightful with his commentary and the music before and after dinner was a nice touch. We found this to be a very peaceful and enjoyable way to spend a special occassion. Not to mention, that the food was delicious and not spared. We would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience an evening under the stars floating down a river for a relaxing and enjoyable time.
Not to mention the wonderful attention and friendliness of the crew, they were excellent in all ways. |

| We enjoyed the cruise far more than we anticipated. We were seated on time and the captain and crew did everything possible to make the evening enjoyable. We appreciated learning about the canyon and having a naturalist on board added a great deal. The meal was excellent; prepared and served well.
The end of March or early April is a perfect time to enjoy this event since the wildflowers lining the canyon walls are in full bloom and daylight hours are extended. |

| The whole experience was delightful! From checking in to the end, everyone was friendly and helpful. The food was great and plentiful. The narration was interesting in learning about the lake. We sat on the top just outside the covered area. Take a warm jacket! The temp is always cooler on the water and especially at night. We had requested to be under the cover but they weren't able to accommodate that. We had perfect weather for late March, and were absolutely thrilled with the experience. We cruised part of the time in the darkness of night. We loved it. The stars were shining bright, and we could see running lights of other boaters and lanterns of campers. We saw some Turkey vultures, a Red-tail hawk and a Bald eagle flew past as we were departing the dock. Cool! A few bats flew overhead for a couple of minutes at about dusk. Fun! We'll take a daytime cruise next year to see more of the lake. Go! You'll love it! |

| The boat left the dock as stated at 5:30. The view of the mountains around us was spectacular! Our food was cooked on a grill on the rear of the boat so everything was freshly cooked and very good. I thought we would receive a choice between the ribeye steak and grilled chicken, but we got both!!! Salad, baked potato, corn, and a dinner roll. About 20 mins before docking, we were served apple pie! |

| Very nice. Food was very good and better than I expected. I really enjoyed being inside on the upper deck. The ability to close the windows when the breeze was too much or too cool was very nice. We went in March and would recommend you bring a jacket as it can get cool on the water. Overall a very good experience and I would recommend it to others. |

| This cruise was extremely enjoyable and very relaxing. The crew were friendly and the Captain was extremely knowledgeable in providing a historical perspective of the canyon. The scenic beauty reminds one of a miniature Grand Canyon. The Captain alerted us when Big Horn sheep were viewable as well as water fowl and a Bald Eagle which added splendor to an already memorable experience. The food was tasty and well organized given that it was a buffet style dinner. The Captain allowed my son to steer the boat back towards shore which further added to the enjoyment of my family and friends. I highly recommend this cruise to anyone who enjoys natural beauty and an escape to relax and enjoy the beauty as it unfolds before your eyes! |
