| The boat ride provided one to relax and kick back without having to wonder what is next. The scenery was beautiful and water was calm. The drive over there was like being in your own movie as beautiful as it was. I recomend this cruise to nowhere to anyone who needs to take a break from the real world. I know I will do it again. |

| Not being from this area (AZ) it was interesting to hear about the rock formations, the history of the area - we even saw a big horn sheep. The Captain was very informative and he added some humor to his "spill". |

| no system to allow those arriving early to give them priority when forming line to get boarding passes. There should be a number system allowing people to be served when the ticket window opens based on their arrival not who can jump to the front of the line first. |

Well worth the time and money.

| Canyon Lake is larger than it appears. By going on the cruise you go through a narrow canyon that takes you back into the desert. We didn't see any animals on our cruise but there is always that possibility. I would consider taking the dinner cruise at a later date. |

| The Dolly Steamboat trip was pleasant and relaxing. The staff was accommodating and the boat itself was comfortable and provided covering from the sun. The timing of the 90-minute cruise was sufficient to be able to enjoy all of the beautiful lake scenery.
I look forward to taking other out-of-town guests aboard the Dolly. |

| We were introduced to Canyon Lake by our daughter & son-in-law. We've since taken several groups of visitng friends on the Dolly tour. They have all thoroughly enjoyed it. It would be nice, however, if we didn't have to get there early and stand in line to get choice seats, even after booking early online. |

| 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. |

| 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. |
