| My wife and I are from Ohio and are in the Phoenix area for Spring Training. I found out about the Dolly boat ride from surfing the internet regarding Phoenix area activities. After reading the reviews about the boat ride and the area, I felt this would be worth checking into. We were very impressed with the overall boat ride and the Canyon Lake area. The many positive reviews were right on target. The boat was filled to capacity and it appeared that all were enjoying the experience. I would recommend that you purchase your tickets in advance as walkons run the risk of not getting on the boat after a rather long but interesting drive from the Phoenix area. |

| The Dolly Steamer is a cruise boat on Canyon Lake. The views are spectacular and the narrative about this area is excellent. Being able to catch views of many big horn sheep on the cliffs was exciting, however the sheep are not always in sight.
Some of the cliffs are 500-1000 ft high and you are on the water in between the cliffs. It is a unique experience and well worth the time to discover this area of Arizona. |

| My wife and I had been on this "Dolly" cruise in the past, recently relocated to Az and were visited by friends from New England. There were 6 of us and we all enjoyed the 1-1/2 ride which was narrated ( not overdone) with plenty of local info passed along during the ride. The views were spectacular and we did get to see about 20-25 Mountain Goats grazing around the mountains. Just being able to sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery, while getting an education about the area made it time and money well spent. We all said we would recommend this to others. |

| The steamboat ride was quite pleasant and very interesting. The staff seemed friendly and informative. Hats off to the individual who selected the music for the ride. Each song was perfectly suited for the situation. |

| We had seen the advertising for this event for a number of years. Someone in our group really wanted to go on this cruise. We decided to purchase tickets and all eight of us enjoyed this tour so very much. We recommend your Dolly Steamboat Cruise to anyone that can appreciate the beauty of one of the many wonders of Arizona, USA. |

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. |

| I thought it was great only thing that I was confused about is that we bought on line and thought we had to give the ticket to the people on the boat because we had our ticket was there a hour early and we got on the boat and could not seat together. that was the only thing that I could see that was a problem. But that was our misunderstanding. We enjoy it greatly. |
