| If you don't have your own boat, and you love the Arizona lanscape then this cruise is a really nice way to go! If you burn...sit in the shade or wear SPF3000 as it is 90 minutes in the Arizona sun. As beautiful as the surrounding landscape and wildlife are to review, the sun will have little mercy on you.
The narration was fine. It was a mixture of narration and then mood music. Personally, I would like to have had a little more education than mood music. But that is a difficult balance to strike and you can't please everyone...
But for only around $20 I'd say the boat, the narration and the beautiful scenery are well worth your time.
After the boat ride, you might want to consider continuing down the road a little further to Tortilla Flats and have lunch! That is an out of the way place that provides for a very interesting and satisfying conclusion to the afternoon. |

| Forgot my "e-ticket" but the crew was very understanding and accommodating. This canyon is our favorite for canoeing. The paddle boat was a wonderful way for us to share our love of this canyon with friends from Kentucky. The crew pointed out some big horn sheep right at the beginning of the trip and that set the tone for the entire 1-1/2 hour journey. The captain was friendly, knowledgable and the crew helpful and attentive. They'll willingly take over your camera for a photo! Food and drink available on board. Great trip. Do it! |

| The cruise was relaxing with soft, cool breezes. The canyon was postcard perfect. I intend to take more friends on the cruise. A good time was had by all. |

| The Dolly Steamboat tour was a leisurely way to spend time on a hot day during our visit to Arizona. The cooling effect of the lake as well as the beauty of the surrounding scenery made for a pleasant cruise. The captain and crew were courteous, friendly and informative. The steam boat was clean, neat and tidy. Highly recommended! |

| A very different Arizona experience. I would emphasise how much longer it can take to get to the marina due to the windy road and slow driving conditions (speed limit and one-lane bridges). |

| We loved the trip and it was easy to find. The only thing we were not happy with was that we got there early and the window was not open to receive us. So we went for lunch when we returned there was a mob of people then we were told we needed boarding passes, so we were at the end of the line and on the boat there was not many places for us to sit together. It would have been nice that when you purchase online you also get a boarding pass so not to be at end of line since you are prepaid and usually there. |

| The weather, the water and the scenery were beautiful. It was extremely relaxing, however, I was very disappointed in the narration. I expected to hear more history of the area and not hear what rock looks like an elephant - that is so tacky, it takes away from the beauty and the history of the area. I really felt that I missed something. |
