There should have been more history of Arizona/they canyon on the tour, instead it just pointed out some animals that happened to walk by and a few jokes. I would have liked it to be a bit more educational/informative. |

It was a beautiful day, and the water was calm - but, my minor complaint was that we only went PART way up the canyon & lake. We missed a LOT!
My MAJOR complaint was that no one would honor my "COYOTE COUPONS" discount: the site had no way to enter this coupon, and no way to contact them directly to adjust the billing; I sent an e-mail to 'customerservice@dollysteamboat.com' (as directed), but the e-mail was returned as "Undeliverable"; and, at the customer window (Sun 3/30), at Canyon Lake, the Dolly Steamboat rep REFUSED to do anything about the discount coupon! :-( She was more interested in making sure the cattle got herded onto the boat.
We've lived in Mesa since 1987, and this was our 1st trip on the Dolly - some 'first impression'. |

Love it. |

Our cruise was on a very pleasant 80F day at the end of March '08. It is recommended that you arrive 30 minutes early as they give you a boarding number based on when you check in. Earlier equals better seating. Canyon Lake provided some nice desert scenery of the rock formations and high cliffs on either side. We didn't see much wildlife on our trip apart from a few hawks, but the way the lake twists and turns through the canyon walls was quite spectacular. There was more personal watercraft than I expected on the lake, but for the most part it wasn't that noisy and the other boaters were friendly. Jeff, the captain was informative and funny in a corny way. I'm sure he's done his routine dozens of times. On board the boat are chips and drinks for sale at a reasonable price. They allow only water bottles to be brought on board. Our cruise was full and consisted of families with children, senior citizens and grandparents, and a few people in their thirties. The cruise is advertised as 90 minutes but I calculated more like 75 as we left a bit late and arrived slightly early. |

This was the perfect time of year to visit Canyon Lake with the wildflowers blooming! We loved the relaxing music, informative narrative, and the comfortable boat. We invited our parents, and they were also impressed. Thanks! |

I reserved the trip and paid on-line the night before, arrived early with the camera, binoculars and water that your website suggested and waited in the shade overlooking the lake on the benches provided. The only small hitch was the confusing sign on the window that seemed to say that they were not running again that day so a few people were worried and there was no one there to explain until the boat returned from the earlier cruise.
Overall, I plan to take others on the boat and probably try th dinner cruise some day.
I went near the end of March and the weather was near perfect for the 4:00 pm cruise.
The crew were helpful, friendly and kept us laughing and looking as they pointed out sights and gave good history information mixe with a few jokes.
Good job! |

Nice and relaxing! |

I am so glad that we had reservations! Due to spring break, there were not any open seats for this cruise. The entire family enjoyed taking some time to "stop and see the sights" - it was a nice time! |
