| I had relatives from out of town visit me. I always take visitors that come to visit me on the Dolly, its very relaxing and the sites and wildlife are good, it gives them a good view of the desert. |

| This was an excellent trip that was very relaxing. I thought the boat tour was an appropriate length, the tour guides were helpful and informative and there was adequate chance to be outdoors or indoors depending on the weather.
While this cruise takes place at lunch time and you are not permitted to bring food on board - the snack bar only sells popcorn and chips. You are also required to be at the dock 30 minutes prior to boarding - which appears to be a bit excessive and ends up with everyone just standing around for 30 minutes.
It does take awhile to get to the site (about an hour from Scottsdale) - but with adequate information and that the boat leaves promptly - it would seem that a 10-15 minute advance arrival would be adequate. You do not get on the boat until almost noon.
The ride was very pleasant and the scenery was beautiful. The captain even backed up to give everyone a better and longer chance to see some of the wildlife. |

| My wife and I where in the Phoenix area primarily for golf but took one day to drive up the canyon. The ride on the Dolly filled a couple of hours just fine, a nice change of pace.
The crew were friendly and offered some good background information.
Definately recommended. |

| Pleasant way to enjoy the area. Low key. Don't count on getting lunch on the boat like I did - popcorn is all they had. |

| We sat on the top level outside and it was a beautiful fall day. The trip was wonderful. Captain Tom gave a very informative and fun narrative about the lake, the animals and all the area around Canyon lake. We had a very relaxing, informative and fun cruise on the Dolly. I highly recommend it to everyone. |

| I enjoyed it. I talked to a lady who had gone on the star-gazing one and she highly recommended it. I would say don't sit in the sunny top chairs -- it got too hot!! (it was 91 degrees that day on Nov. 5, 2009). The rock formations and history of the area were interesting. We also enjoyed having an early lunch at the Lakeside Cantina. |
