| We had a most relaxing and enjoyable ride 45 minutes up and 45 minutes back down Canyon Lake on the Dolly Steamboat. Music and narration accompanied us on the trip which enhanced our journey by describing some of the sights we could see on the mountainsides along the lake's edge. Snacks were available to be purchased...but we just sipped the water we brought with us and chatted softly as we sat comfortably around a table on the upper deck. I hope to go again in a year or two with my husband. |

| The Dolly Steamboat provides a relaxing yet informative tour of the terrain surrounding Canyon Lake, a man-made lake east of the Phoenix Metropolitan Area in the Superstition Mountains. The tourguide was informative to local flora and fauna, pointing out nearby predator birds and bighorn sheep off in the distance. The 90-minute tour was neither too short nor too long. The price of the tour is reasonable and discounts are offered for AAA members. |

| This was a great relaxing time. The kids got a little antsy towards the end - but walking around the boat fixed that. |

| We not only lucked out with a perfect weather, (sunny, temperature just right, spring green and wildflowers blooming) the scenery is really beautiful and changes around every bend. The attendants on the boat kept a lookout for wildlife and were able to point out a great blue heron, some turkey vultures, two bald eagles, and some big horned sheep. There was comfortable seating as well as plenty of opportunity to move about the boat to take pictures and enjoy the scenery. |

| We were required to be at the boat 30 minutes before departure. However, no one was at the ticket office until 20 minutes before departure. There was a hangup with one customer which caused additional delays. I didn't like that. It seemed like there was no contingency plan to handle the unexpected.
The tour itself provided a good narrative and beautiful sights. I took lots of pictures. Really to many pictures. |
