| The boat ride was very relaxing and just long enough. The captain was funny making it more pleasurable. He pointed out the wild life when he saw it. He also explained the wild life you can see on any given day. I was with family and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Also snacks can be purchased . I am not sure how many people the boat holds, however, my guess is 130 or so with upper and lower deck. There is also a washroom on board. . Life jackets are a must for children and are provided with instruction. I would definately take the cruise again.

| I had taken the cruise on Canyon Lake before and recommended it to my friend visiting from Germany. We took the tour together and she was absolutely thrilled. |

| 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. |

| The actual boat ride & crew were GREAT! It is a beautiful ride on the boat & the scenry is unbeatable! Having the crew point out the big sheep on the cliffs above was extra special for all of us. I think the Captain and the 2 other crew members were the best anyone could find for this boat ride.
My only suggestion would be to improve on the ticketing process. By just having the passengers check in on line with their confirmation # to print the boarding passes & then present them in line as they arrive to see if they have a full load for the ride. They should arrive no later than 20 mins. prior to boarding. If they are not there on time, sell tickets to other people coming who wish to purchase tickets. This way you have your pass & can board as the numbers are called.
This activity is well worth the money and ones time. It is just a wonderful boat ride & excellent information about the lake and area. Bring a camera & binoculars. Your pictures are just a great way to remember all the fun & scenry.
Thank you so much! |

| This is a must for anyone who likes to view the grandeur of nature in comfort. Two couples of us came here from Austin, Texas for Spring Training baseball games and this was a side trip because we had extra time. It was agreed by the four of us that this was one of the best parts of our trip. Texas hill country is great but it pales compared to Canyon Lake tour. This is a six ****** star attraction. Be sure and bring your camera and your binoculars. |

| The day was bright and sunny. The staff was fun and helpful. We enjoyed the narration along the trip and the scenery was spectacular. This was not my first trip and I will go many more times.

| 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. |
