| This cruise is a must. I couldn''t have imagined what lies beyond the main lake. What a site. Only wish it was a longer cruise, which I understand is available. The captain and crew were also a joy. Diana |

| The lake and surrounding canyon was beautiful and well-narrated. There was not so much narration that the peace and tranquility of the lake and canyon could not be enjoyed, but when needed passengers were directed to look at wildlife and rock formations. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting the area. There is also a great restaurant at the dock with friendly locals, great food, and beverages. |

| We were seduced by the pictures of the eagle and the mountain goat. No eagle, but definintely a mountain goat - was it a statue or the real guy perfectly posed on a rock? Who cares - it was beautiful and charmingly narrated and musically accompanied. But the best part was the wonderful Lakeside Grill and Restaurant afterwards - Strongly recommend it as a follow-up to the 106-degree Arizona weather. We loved it - just what we were looking for for an easy-does it no stress (no strenuous walking) expedition. People at home laugh when I say we went to the desert to take a steamboat ride on a lake - but it was lovely and so pleasant.
Thanks - keep it going! |

| Generally we were very satisfied with the Nature Cruise. The Boat was clean , pleasant and confortable. We recomment taking this cruise during cooler days, say temps in the 90's or less as it gets a bit warm without airconditioning on the top level. The scenic buety of Arizona was splendit.
The dock restaurant was very inviting after the cruse and we all enjoyed a tasty meal so we could continue our travels on a full stomach to Globe.
We would most likely do this cruise again in the future. |

| 6 of us took the 12:00 cruise, including a 14 month old. What a treat it was. The staff was very friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. Great sights, even got to see some big-horn sheep. |

| The cruise was very relaxing and somewhat informative. The narrative could have been improved by including more history of the lake/impoundment, and more of the geology of the area. |

| Who knew after 11 years of living in southern AZ that something so beautiful, fun, relaxing and affordable was just a short distance away. Not knowing what was going to fill our Labor Day weekend and entertain all ages from 12-45 in our camping group, suddenly with a little research on the internet, there was Steamboat Dolly, a narrated cruise around Canyon Lake just 30 minutes from our campground in Apache Junction. Everything from the views, the crew, the ride there and back along the Apache Trail, was all outstanding. The 90-minute cruise offered a lively, entertaining and informative narration by a very personable steamboat captain as well as a very nice snack and refreshment counter. With many people on board it was still very comfortable, never crowded. Highly recommended to anyone of any ages. Looking forward to our next visit up to the area and another cruise around the lake. |

| We typically try to catch a riverboat or lake cruise in whatever city we are visiting. This particular cruise was really nice - the scenery was Amazing - the tour operators were very knowledgeable and answered every question anyone had. The overall experience was very relaxing and well worth the money. I actually recommended to some local residents who had heard of it but never partipated. |
