| We really enjoyed our trip on the Dolly. It was a very relaxing way to spend our Saturday. I would highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance. We boarded according to our boarding pass number. The first to pick up their boarding pass at the ticket booth boarded first. There were plenty of good seats so don't worry if you are not in the first couple of boarding groups. The captain and crew were great. If you want to picnic before your boat trip you will want to go early as they do not have picnic tables within walking distance of the ticket booth. You can still picnic close by, but then you will want to drive over to the parking lot. We didn't have small children with us, but the trip did seem kid friendly and the children on board seemed to have fun. |

| I was sick so my husband and our daughter and son-in-law went on the ride and found it to be very interesting. They are from out of town and it was a treat for them to learn about the area. |

| We thoroughly enjoyed this trip. The highlight for the children ages 6-10 was the sighting of eagles and big horn sheep. We also saw blue heron and turkey vultures. The scenery was beautiful. There are tables on deck, so you are able to visit with family and have snacks. There is a snack bar where you can purchase soda, popcorn, chips and small candy snacks. There is shade and open areas and ample opportunity for great photographs. We brought binoculars which was tremendously helpful - although you can make out the sheep and eagles with the naked eye, it was great to see all the details. |

| I totally enjoyed the trip to Cayon Lake. There is so much to do and I will be recommending the Dolly Steamboat to my co-workers.
Thank you so much, everyone was very pleasant and curtious.

| My Mom, Grandma and Aunt were visiting from Missouri so I decided to take them on this cruise. My Grandma loved it, Aunt thought it was great, Mom not so much and I just love being out in nature. We saw two big horn sheep with calves and alot of beautiful cliffs and mountains. Be sure to stay in the covered part of the boat if you don't like the heat. 90 minutes is a bit long, but overall it was great. The lake is beautiful and it was very quiet for a Sunday afternoon. |

| The celebration of New Year's Eve day was very special as we were able to cruise beautiful Canyon Lake on the Dolly Steamboat in the afternoon. It was a beautiful day and the leisurely cruise made it even more so. It was wonderful to catch sight of big horned sheep through binoculars high up on the cliffs. Thank you for a memorable trip.

| My husband and I were visiting Phoenix/Scottsdale for vacation. We had been the previous 2 summers as well. Last year we were driving the Apache Trail when we happened upon the Dolly. We went back the next day to sign up for the afternoon cruise but it was closed. We made sure to buy our tickets before we left NJ this year! It was very hot, Arizona was having a heat wave with 44% humidity - so that quote about "but it's a dry heat" wasn't holding true for us. I was miserable with the heat and only looking forward to returning to the hotel to sit by (or rather in) the pool. But we boarded the Dolly and our Captain and his crew were so gracious that I started to forget about the heat. We found the cruise to be relaxing and the breeze which was created by the movement on the lake was refreshing. The sights were amazing - we didn't see much wildlife but the scenery was awesome. Thank you Captain Tom for an enjoyable 90 minutes! |
