| Really enjoyed the trip but man was it hot.. Fabulous scenery, good commentary and a nice boat. The journey to Canyon Lake was a bit scary for my wife but it was ok really.
All in all well worth the money. PS the restaurant / bar next to the pier is very good as well. |

| We had our tickets reserved for 3 months prior to our trip. We bypassed the long waiting line to purchase tickets and were still last to board the boat as they were numbered seats. I know that at least 90% of the passengers that day did not have reserved tickets. Once we finally arrived on the boat the only table left was directly in the sun. We had a 3 year old traveling and were unable to keep her in the sun (108 to 112 degrees that day.) We settled ourselves in a shaded area at the back of the boat and were asked to move as all guests were to be seated. We did leave and headed upstairs. My finace went downstairs to purchase water several minutes later and when he did he noticed that the hostess had conveniently moved an entire group to the area we had just been kicked out of, and to make things even better for them provided that party with a table after we had been asked to leave and told we had no choice but to sit upstairs and endure the hot sun. We asked to be left off the boat, but were advised it had just departed and were unable to abort.
We will never purchase tickets from Zerve or board the Dolly Madison again. A complete waste of our money. |

| My sister was visiting from Atlanta, Georgia and we wanted her to see Canyon Lake and take the boat tour. Because we were doing this in late June, we would have prefered a sunset tour, but we did not want to pay $65 for the dinner cruise. I wish that a sunset tour had been available without the expense of the dinner. We did enjoy the tour very much even though we were hot. I thought the boat might have ceiling fans to help keep us cool. There was a breeze part of the time, but it was intermittent.
I do recommend the tour, but you need to be prepared for the heat during the summer at noon. |

| I myself have have taken this sight seeing cruise about 6 times-everytime someone visits from out of state and it never gets old! The boat is clean and comfortable. The captain will even take pictures with you. The scenery is breathtaking-looks like a "mini grand canyon". Also the captain points out interesting rock formations and wildlife!Bring your camera!!! |

| We enjoyed the ride and found it very relaxing. Be sure to bring a camera as there are many photo opportunities. The Captain stopped the boat at some very interesting spots and explained formations and the vegetation around the lake. This was definately a well spent hour and a half. The only disappointment was there was no wild life for us to see other than a few birds and a turkey vulture. |

| What a relaxing way to view the local scenery!!! This was my third trip in less than two months; I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Those that have made previous trips with me thought this to be a most relaxing and scenic tour. The crew is very knowledgeable and most helpful!!
Highly recommended!! |

| It was a pleasant & leisurley cruise
the captains' narration during the trip was quite good & he stopped the boat
on a few occasions so we could take time out to enjoy the local
wildlife.
I would highly recommend this cruise & we will do it again someday. |

| The boat ride was relaxing and informative. We were fortunate to see about 20 long horned sheep come down to the water for a drink. The trip lasted about 2 hours which was perfect for the kids. We went to Tortilla Flats for lunch afterwards. Great food, plus prickly pear ice cream! |
