| We were caught behind a boat that was being transferred to the marina. We were late getting to the boat due to the traffic stop. We didn't know until we arrived that the boat knew there were delays and waited. We expected we would have missed the trip. We were thankful. |

| Canyon Lake is very beautiful, the weather was perfect, and the boat ride was relaxing. We met wonderful people from Canada which made the trip interesting too. It was a scenic, enjoyable experience that I would recomment to all! |

| The scenery on the lake is so beautiful...Mother Nature at its best. The manner of boarding by first come-first serve numbered tickets was efficient and organized, and eliminated any chance of pushing and shoving. I took my 85 year old mother visiting from NJ on the trip. She can't stop talking about how "serene" it was. The captain was so informative and interruped the music only to impart some facts of the canyon or point out interesting formations and bighorn sheep sightings. This is not, however, an activity that I would recommend for children of pre-teen age or younger. Boredom sets in pretty quickly on a quiet ride and results in the need to expend pent up energy.
All in all, the Dolly was worth every penny of the ticket price. I can't wait to take other visitors on this trip so I can enjoy it again, too. |

| This was a great activity for a group of friends to do together. Retired people from all over the US was in our small group of 12. It showed many of them new details of Arizona that is something different that desert life. The narrator was good at telling about the different formations in the mountains around the lake and pointing out wildlife that we came accross. |

| We bought the tickets and of coarse...arrived late. We got to the boat and it was already loaded and about to leave. Arriving late made me a little anxious but we were eased when we got on the boat and realized it was ok! The Captain and his SeaMate were awesome! They were smiling and ready for our cruise. They even let us borrow the binoculars. The Captains were also very informative, and easy to hear on the speaker; while at the same time the speaker did not take away from the mood of the cruise. The music choice was good and the scenery was beautiful. We even seen some Big Horns! We are definitely going back and we are bringing the whole family next time. This is something great for a couple, a family, or a social group. Kudos! |

| We really had a lot of fun and enjoyed our ride on the Dolly Steamboat. The Captain was very informative and found some sheep on the mountain the day we sailed. The crew was very helpful and the whole trip was a very pleasant . We would recommend the Dolly Steamboat to our friends. Wonderful time on the cruise on Canyon Lake. |

| We enjoyed our 90 minutes on Canyon Lake. The ride itself would have been wonderful but to see 5 Desert Bighorn Sheep put the icing on the cake. |

| What a wonderful cruise. The Captain was informative and enthusiastic, I liked that.
The only suggestion I would make that I believe would add to the adventure, improved sound system that makes hearing, more audible, particularly the selection of music-- very appropriate.
Thank you for this opportunity.
Regards,

| I highly recommend a trip on the Dolly Steamboat. The tour was fun and informative for our entire family. My seven year old daughter got to see things she is learning about in school while taking in the panoramic views and natural beauty of Canyon Lake. The Captain's narrative enhanced our experience by providing interesting facts about the area and calling out points of interest like rock formations and a family of Bighorn Sheep.
We had a great time and look forward to our next cruise aboard the Dolly Steamboat. |
