| The Dolly is a nice way to get out on Canyon Lake and see its beauty and possibly some wildlife if you don't have a boat or are not from the area, and don't want to spend the big bucks to rent a boat at the marina.
The staff is friendly and the Captain's narration is informative. The boat is comfortable.
We took my wife's 93 year old grandmother, who is in a wheelchair, and she had a blast. There is easy ramp access down to the boat and from the dock onto the boat. Recommended! |

| We Were celebrating a 25th annivasary party of party of 11 people. We really enjoyed the knowledge of the Capt. He had a very easy listening voice and enjoyable, he really seems to enjoy his job. He was very personable. We would do this trip again.
But longer if you could.
Thank you very much Brian and Sandy |

| A beautiful, peaceful cruise from the lake through the canyon. We saw a big horn sheep. The rock formations are very colorful. The cruise is 90 minutes but it goes by fast as you are busy watching nature and the landscape. This is my second time to take this tour and I loved it. |

| Our party of four, two from Minnesota and two local residents, had lunch at Cayon Lake and then took the 90 minute boat cruise. The boat trip was fantastic, especially the tour guides commentary. The views were superb and the accomodations and service was much better than expected. We will take this cruise ever time we visit the Phoenix area. |

| My husband, mother and I decided to find something fun and different to do on a Saturday afternoon. After purusing the internet I found this interesting activity that was close to home. We had never ventured to this part of Phoenix so we decided that this would be a nice excursion for the day. The directions provided on the site were very easy to follow. We had no problem finding the marina and there was ample free parking. The restrooms are located close to the steamboat entrance. We arrived in plenty of time and even though we had to stand in line for a short time there was plenty of seating if you needed it and overhead cover to keep you out of the sun. The reservation process was very organized and the crew was obviously well trained. When boarding the steamboat the captain greeted and assisted customers with a warm and welcoming smile and occasional joke. The cruise itself was very relaxing and the narration and music made the journey very enjoyable. The captain kept to his time schedule but you did not feel that he was rushing the cruise. The scenery and the wildlife are stunning. The captain took his time to angle the steamboat to make sure that each passenger was able to appreciate all the views. He consistently pointed out different rock formations, recited history about the area and helped you use your imagination. We would recommend this cruise if your looking for something that will help you unwind and let your mind wander. |

| We got in the same line as those who had made phone reservations directly with the Dolly company. They each paid $20. We paid $22 on line. There was no advantage to having e-tickets. |
