| We've lived in Scottsdale, AZ for 15 years and never had a clue that the trip on the Dolly Steamboat could be so special. Capt. Tom was both entertaining and informative. The scenery was breathtaking and we plan to return the next time we have visitors. We were pleasantly surprised. |

| Dolly & her crew greeted us warmly upon boarding her and we were promptly underway. Canyon Lake is a desert jewel and we were both looking forward to the promise of beauty and the possibilities of wildlife sightings.
We were not disappointed.
Dolly took us on a slow stroll atop the calm water back into heart of the lake. Stone formations returned our stares; dark traces of rain fed waterfalls littered the canyon walls and I could easily imagine being here during a rainstorm to witness the multiple dozens of waterfalls in full bloom.
There weren't any bighorn sheep curious enough to make themselves visible to us on this day. There was, however, a magnificent bald eagle who decided to wow us with his impeccable self. Settling himself on the tallest outcropping from the clifftop he seemed to be content to watch the humans float by, all wearing those funny binoculars on their eyes!
All the while the Captain kept us informed & entertained over the PA, bringing our attention to other points of interest along the way. There's nothing like a little bit of forced relaxation and the Dolly Steamboat was a gratifying way to spend 90 minutes. I recommend it to newcomers and locals alike. |

| Very good boat ride. My guest found it very relaxing. I would recommend this boat ride for "older" people. Not much room for children to explore because you are requested to stay seated. Get there early to make sure you get seat outside of boat. Outside seating is very limited. BEWARE of the drive into the canyon. It is very nail biting for guests who are afraid of heights or moutains. Very tight turns on side of cliffs.
Overall, this was a very good trip. |

| This was our second time on the Dolly, and again it was an enjoyable experience. It is a great way to see the beauty that Arizona holds. A great way to spend a hour or two. |

| My husband and I took my visiting parents on this boat ride. It's a great way to see beautiful Arizona nature without having to drive very far (I live in central Phoenix). The boat was relaxing, scenery was great, and nearby restaurants were fun. |
