| We (friends and family) had a great time. Before our 2:00 PM cruise, we enjoyed lunch at the cantina, next door. Good, polite service and we had no complaints about the food.
The cruise was well organized. The Captain (narrator) was knowledgeable, polite and had the perfect voice for narration. The scenery was an amatuer photographer's dream. The mood was calm and relaxed.
The only thing missing was wildlife. Perhaps it was due to the time of year or the time of day, but it was missed.
Go! Take pictures, create a memory and enjoy! |

| It's about a two hour drive from Oro Valley, Az. to Canyon Lake. It is a easy drive except for last 15 or so miles. This section from Apache Junction to Canyon Lake is loaded with curves that slows down the drive. .
The cruise on the lake is very picturesque. We had a good sunny, not too hot day. The canyon walls facing the lake are fantastique. Only distraction was the background music over the speaker system. The narrations by the crew were good.Overall a great trip.

| Excellent cruise that I would highly recommend. This was our first time to the Phoenix area and we took this cruise based on a recommendation from a travel website. We have 2 children ages 6 and 10 who absolutley loved the cruise. Captain Tom was fantastic as he narrated our tour and pointed out all sorts of unique and intereseting things while on the cruise. The rest of the crew were professional and very family friendly.
For any parents with children looking for something family friendly to do we would recommend this activity, followed by a visit to Tortilla Flats. |

| Our enjoyment was reduced due to behavior of an obnoxious group of people on the top deck. |

| Taking a cruise of Canyon Lake, aboard the Dolly Steamboat , on a cool afternoon in the early fall, followed by some chili and beer at Tortilla Flat afterwards, was, simply , a very relaxed way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The employees were all friendly and laid back, the refreshment prices were reasonable, and the view was wonderful. This is a good day trip for locals or tourists, families, couples, or individuals. It won't knock your socks off, but that's o.k., because, as relaxed a trip as it is, you needn't be wearing any to begin with. |

| The boat ride provided one to relax and kick back without having to wonder what is next. The scenery was beautiful and water was calm. The drive over there was like being in your own movie as beautiful as it was. I recomend this cruise to nowhere to anyone who needs to take a break from the real world. I know I will do it again. |
