| Very well done from start (reservations) to finish (the Captain saying farewell to all.) The Dolly is immaculate & well-maintained...a nice assortment of refreshments for sale if you desired & cold water if you didn't. The Dolly folks can't take credit for the drop-dead-gorgeous scenery - but they take great advantage of it.
I did think the Captain's April Fool's stunt could be pumped up a bit. Mountain lions? C'mon. "Pirates of Canyon Lake" would have been cool. (If you need a volunteer April Fool Coordinator for next year let me know. Mine was spectacular that morning: After all the family got settled in the car I looked at my confirmation email & groaned that I had made the reservations for the day before:-) |

| We absolutely loved Dolly... the kids (8 and 12) enjoyed it as well. We learned a lot of new things about Arizona, and we thought the captain was wonderful.
The only draw back was that we arrived the 1/2 hr. early like it said, but than we still experienced line ups to get our tickets. We than received a ticket with a number on it. Our number was 45 and they call the people on the boat starting with #1. Of-course we all wanted to sit up top to get the better view and the fresh air. Thank goodness we ended up with a table (due to someone changing their mind). Had we been on the bottom I know it would of ruined our trip.
So I think you need to be there very early, get your ticket, and than just hang out for a while.
We took our mom from Canada, and she thought it was wonderful. We will definately do it again with out of town guests. We will be there very early to get tickets, than eat and than line up.
Enjoy.... it was well worth it!

| We had a truly enjoyable time aboard the Dolly! Springtime in the desert is amazing; this trip highlighted some incredibly beautiful sights. Our group consisted of two couples who only occasionally get together, and we were able to catch up while on the cruise. The informative narration was interspersed with calming music, allowing for conversation. It was great to divide our time between seats inside the boat and the open rear deck. Views were spectacular! |

| That is what Arizona is all about. Beauty. My relatives could not thank us enough. We had been on the dinner one years ago. My relatives are in their 70's and love being able to set and see the sites. Thank you for this. |

| Though the only wildlife we saw was turkey vultures, the lake and mountains were gorgeous, the boat was very nice, and the tour information was interesting. There was still lots to photograph! |

| This is the second time we have taken the DOLLY on Canyon Lake. The last time was 6 years ago. WE enjoyed it very much. The topography of the canyon is amazing considering you are in Arizona and the desert. The narration was just enough information without being boring. A great trip...... |

| Buying tickects was easy.
Dolly personnel were warm and acomodating.
I will go again with other friends.
Allow for extra time driving to Canyon lake, especialy if coming from the south, road is not for weak of heart and it takes about 2 1/2 hours to go about 24 miles.
