| We brought our 10 year old grandson on the Dolly - he is from Colorado and he was very intune to the diversity of the ecology. He was very interested in the "sightings" pointed out by the captain. At times he had some difficulty "seeing" the images in the rocks. My only request is that when they are pointed out a little more time is given to individuals on both sides of the boat to find the images. |

| A nice trip, beautiful scenery, but hot at noon! They advertise a first come first serve seating...and they do give you a number...we got there early and were first in line. However, first they board those who are elderly or need assistance. It's nice for them, but not nice for those who purposely get there early, especially when a bus from a retirement community shows up full of people. They gave them all numbers...but then loaded them first... When you get there an hour early, wait in the heat for your number, then end up with 30 people in front of you, it's not really first come first seating as they advertise. They need to rethink that. |

| My husband, our infant son, and I took this cruise in the middle of summer. It was warm on the boat, but not unbearable in the shade. It was nice to get away from Phoenix for an afternoon. My husband and I both grew up on a river so this was a nice excursion as it reminded us of the midwest summer. If taking an infant, I suggest using an infant carrier instead of a stroller. This way you may sit up top and have a great view! |

| We saw two groups of Desert Bighon Sheep which was very exciting. The scenery is fantastic, and the tour guide was very good. |

| A group of my friends got together for the 4th of July and decided to take the Dolly for a very enjoyable 90 minute cruise around Canyon Lake. Though it was a hot day, there was ample shade on the Dolly and cold water was provided (thank you!). The crew did a great job, and were super nice. I learned a few facts about Canyon Lake, sit back and enjoyed the scenery and great company. |

| I brought a group of seniors from my church and we had a fabulous time. The crew of the dolly was wonderful to us.

| I had seen the boat but never done the trip. I thought my grandson would enjoy it and he really did. The captain's narration added to the fun. He was careful to point out wildlife and move the boat close to shore to see the group of big horn sheep. I would do the dinner cruise with a group of adults in the future. |

| My wife and I decided on the spur of the moment to take the cruise and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The scenery is beautiful and the ship's crew members were very friendly and accommodating. We highly recommend it. As a bonus for us, Kelly Ripa, (Regis & Kelly) her husband and family were passengers on our cruise. |

| We had family visiting from the east coast this year and took them for a ride on Dolly. Even though it was pretty hot that day, the breeze we felt while on the boat was really nice. The music in the background, the narration from the captain, the scenery, and the slow pace of the boat was very relaxing and interesting. This was my fifth excursion on Dolly and I find something new to enjoy on every trip. I highly recommend this trip any time of the year for local residents and especially for visitors. |

| I enjoyed meeting people from all over, and watching their fascination with Arizona and its various flora, and architecture. Particularly enjoyed this time of year when the centrury plants were in bloom.
Narrator did a great job describing the various scenes which would be seen in the canyon walls. |
