| The narration provided valuable insight into the history and reasons for the beauty surrounding us. Because the trip on the water was calm, it was possible to engage in meaningful discussion with our family members. |

| My friends came in from Illinois and they could not say enough about the Arizona Dolly. The views were breathtaking. I intend to go there again and again..with my family and friends and those who come to visit me from out of town. |

| This is a beautifully narrated cruise with breathtaking views of the Canyons.
Not a great outing for children under 5 or 6 years old.
Seating is just OK, not very comfortable--tables and chairs.
Crew is friendly. We felt this event was worth our time and money.
No place to picnic unless you take the car away from the marina, and even then, you need a "pass" that has to be purchased some distance from where you have already passed. We had to eat our picnic lunch on the benches where you wait for the boat.
The restaurant is at the marina, it looked like family-oriented, kind of bare-bones but OK. |

| The cruise on Canyon Lake was just beautiful! To be under a perfectly blue sky with a pristine landscape was sensational. We were fortunate to see a "family" of long horn sheep that seemed to pose for our pictures. We'd highly recommend this cruise for a relaxing, rejuvenating and awe inspired view of nature at its best. |

| I do not need all this space , it was a wonderful, amazing Boat ride. I am a native of Tucson but have not lived here for 40 years, but now my husband and I are back and hope to buy a home here.
I can almost promise that everyone that comes to visit us will go on the Dolly. Your Captain was absolutly great, his description of everything was great.

| Our enjoyment was reduced due to behavior of an obnoxious group of people on the top deck. |

| It was great but I have a few suggestions. The person who took our tickets was about 10 minutes late opening the ticket booth so folks standing in line were quite irritated which didn't make a good start to the program. Also the main cabin got very messy with popcorn and junk all over tables and the floor. People should pick up their messes but when they don't, your stewards should keep doing so. It got pretty messy by the bathrooms on the floor in front. Also, the caption should talk into the mircrophone louder as it was hard to hear at times and sometimes I couldn't hear him at all.
I like the beautiful setting around the lake and that you take advantage of that with the boat ride is a real treat. I also like that you let people on the boat in groups so there isn't a mad rush to get a good seat.
Thanks!! I'll be back. |

| My grandsons enjoy crusing Canyon Lake on the Dolly Steamboat. The highlight is seeing the Bighorn Sheep in the cliffs above the river. This is the second cruise we have taken, and both times we were able to spot the Bighorn Sheep. Many of those we meet on the cruise have been locals taking out-of-town visitors. We live on the west side of Phoenix, and still enjoy the peacefulness of the cruise and the desert landscape ringing the lake.
One suggestion would be to include a little more about the Native peoples who inhabited the area before white settlers came to the area. Visitors are always interested in hearing about our wonderful Native American heritage. |

| Our daughter was visiting from out of state. We wanted to take her to a different type of sight seeing event. The cruise was just excellent. It was everything we hoped for and more. The captain and crew were very friendly and helpful. The cruise was smooth, very beautiful and enjoyable for all of us. |
