| 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. |

| We thouroughly enjoyed the trip. Whenever people come to visit from out of town we always take them on the dolly. I highly recommend it to everyone. It was more enjoyable than the grand canyon! |

| This is an excellent day trip for locals. If you are visiting from out of state, you will be shocked by the amazing views. All ages will have a good time on the Dolly Steamboat.
My only advice is to try to get a seat in a shaded area, because it can get hot sitting outside in the full view of the sun. Even if you have to sit outside, most people get up and move about the boat during the ride.
We plan to ride again after we receive a period of rain, so we can see the waterfalls! |

| A woman representing a large group cut in front of me in the boarding pass line, thus causing us to be in the last group to board even though we were one of the first to arrive. The problem resulting was that there was not a place where my whole family and our guest (8 of us total) could sit together, unless we all sat in the sun. We couldn't reasonalby do this as we had our baby with us. We would have greatly appreciated some assistance with this situation. We paid quite a bit for a quality family event--we certainly expected to be able to sit together. |

| 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 celebrated my grandma's 82nd birthday on the Dolly and had a wonderful time. We had a large group and enjoyed lunch afterwards at the restaurant at the marina. The captain had a great sense of humor and told us all about the canyons - the history, the images, the geology. We had a wonderful afternoon in July on Canyon Lake! |

| my boyfriend and i took this boatride around canyon lake to get away from phones and computers for the afternoon. it was advertised in a brochure for tourist attractions in apache junction and decided to try it. we both like water and the outdoors and was very happy we did it. this was a very relaxing and peaceful boat ride around part of canyon lake. the narrator told us about some history and local facts for that area, and even pointed out some unusual markings on rocks that were interesting. my only disappointment was not seeing alot of wildlife. we saw a few sheep at one point, but i was looking forward to seeing a lot more. |
