| Our group consisted of 9 adults, 1 twelve year old and a 4 year old. We all really did enjoy the narration on the cruise. Our Ship Captain was very interesting and pointed out many, many things we would not have seen otherwise. We saw 5 Big Horn Sheep which was exciting. All of the employees were very courteous and helpful. It was very relaxing and all-in-all a very nice experience. I would definitely go again.

Relaxing Trip Around the Lake

| After the somewhat hair-raising road trip from Apache Junction to Canyon Lake, it was nice to sit back, relax, and enjoy the narrated boat trip around the lake. We only saw one big-horned sheep, but spotting wild-life was not the purpose of our trip. We wanted to show off the beautiful Arizona landscape to visitors from out of state and neither we nor they were disappointed.
However, after a two-hour drive from Tucson, we arrived for our 12:00 noon boat trip with only 15 minutes to spare a little hungry. We were a bit disappointed that the only food onboard were snacks of chips, popcorn, candy, and hot/cold drinks. We had hoped that there would be something a little more substantial, such as cold, pre-packaged sandwiches. But even our hunger didn't dampen our enjoyment of the boat trip. |

| The day was very hot (100+), but that is not the fault of the tour providers. The lake is beautiful and the sites are interesting. The best site was the embedded pertified logs in the cliff. Otherwise, you're looking at rock formations (similar to cloud formations), camp sites, dry waterfall stains, cactus and oh yeah, lots and lots of jet skis and ski boats. The Captian was very knowledgable and funny. The first mate was also nice and helpful. The boat is not truly paddle wheel driven, but rather a standard inboard diesel with some sticks cobbled out the back that look like a paddle wheel. I don't think I will rush back out to take my out-of-state visitors, but I can now check off the Dolly Cruise from my "Things to Do While on the Earth" list. Maybe if I went when the temps weren't so opressive I'd have written a more enthusiastic review. |

| 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. |

| This was our first narrative tour on Dolly Lake cruise and the captain and crew are very courtious and friendly. The cruise was well narrated by the captain and he pointed out spots of interest along the way down the lake and on the way back to the marina. My friends an I were very impressed and would do this trip again and this time maybe do the dinner cruise. This is was money well spent. |

| I went to enjoy a day at the lake with my spouse and a friend and we had so much fun on the boat. We were able to walk around the steamboat, eat a nice snack, and just sit with each other while enjoying the beauty of Canyon Lake. It was so amazing to see the wildlife and being enclosed within two huge cliffs on both sides of the lake. The mountains were so close and beautiful. The steamboat was a very nice slow breeze through nature. The crew and staff were very helpful and taught us many things we didnt know about the area. We will soon take another trip on the steamboat down the river. |
