| We throughly enjoyed our trip. The day was beautiful? The rocks and some of their imaginary formations as told by the captain- were fun. It was hard to believe that this canyon's rock formations were millions of years old. The captain and crew were very friendly. The captain even took some extra time to let us watch two rams and thier families in the upper elevation of the canyon. We would recommend this trip to anyone. |

| Peaceful and scenic boat ride. Narrative was entertaining...saw an eagle and some bighorn sheep (quite far away). Got some great photos of canyon landscape. |

| This is our second time aboard and it was just as enjoyable as our first visit.
Extremely enjoyable boat tour with majestic views of the surrounding mountains & scenery. Many opportunities for landscape photos. The ride to Canyon Lake is dotted with majestic views as well. Afterwards, suggest going to Tortilla Flats, about 5 miles farther down the road; then, if time allows drive towards Roosevelt Dam & Lake.
WORD OF CAUTION-- buy your tickets prior to your voyage or you probably will not be able to get on board. Each time we have gone- the trip was sold out ahead of time; and, customers were turned away.
The only inconvenience is the requirement to arrive about 30-45 minutes early and the need to stand in line to redeem your e-ticket for a boarding pass to get on the boat. |

| We really didn't know what to expect, but after a little nourishment at the local cafe, we boarded the cruise. We enjoyed the atmosphere, the crew and the amazing scenery, including the turkey vultures flying overhead and the curly horned sheep grazing atop the rocks. We're looking forward to our next visitors so we can take them on this magnificent adventure. |

| We were particularly pleased to see several Big Horns, including a very large ram. You should take binoculars and a camera if possible. Fortunately, a disposable camera can be purchased on board at a reasonable price. This is a trip that is very worthwhile and well worth the cost of the ticket. |

| The celebration of New Year's Eve day was very special as we were able to cruise beautiful Canyon Lake on the Dolly Steamboat in the afternoon. It was a beautiful day and the leisurely cruise made it even more so. It was wonderful to catch sight of big horned sheep through binoculars high up on the cliffs. Thank you for a memorable trip.

| We enjoyed our narrated nature cruise on Canyon Lake. The scenery was beautiful and the staff were helpful. The weather could have been better, but that can't be controlled. |

| My daughter and I had a wonderful, relaxing, and enjoyable tour on the Dolly.
She was visiting from Ohio and was very happy about our choice of entertainment.
It was well narrated, peaceful, and just perfect in every way with the weather being very accommodating also on Dec 11. We will redo this tour next year.
The captain did a great job as did the assistants on deck. Thanks so much !!!! |

| We've been on similar trips in other areas, but this by far was the best. The website was well written and gave me the answers to all my questions. The accomodations were terrific; easy on, easy off, which was much appreciated by my elderly parents.
The crew, especially Capt. Tom, was knowledgable and accomodating. When he spotted a Big Horn Sheep in the rocks, he slowed the steamer down to a crawl and brought it close to the shore so everyone could see this beautiful creature up close.
We've already made plans to take the night cruise. You should too. |
