| Our cruise was on a very pleasant 80F day at the end of March '08. It is recommended that you arrive 30 minutes early as they give you a boarding number based on when you check in. Earlier equals better seating. Canyon Lake provided some nice desert scenery of the rock formations and high cliffs on either side. We didn't see much wildlife on our trip apart from a few hawks, but the way the lake twists and turns through the canyon walls was quite spectacular. There was more personal watercraft than I expected on the lake, but for the most part it wasn't that noisy and the other boaters were friendly. Jeff, the captain was informative and funny in a corny way. I'm sure he's done his routine dozens of times. On board the boat are chips and drinks for sale at a reasonable price. They allow only water bottles to be brought on board. Our cruise was full and consisted of families with children, senior citizens and grandparents, and a few people in their thirties. The cruise is advertised as 90 minutes but I calculated more like 75 as we left a bit late and arrived slightly early. |

| The boat was comfortable, the scenery was lovely, the narration was informative, and the music relaxing. The weather and the big horn sheep co-operated to provide us with a wonderful afternoon. I would certainly consider a repeat trip next year! |

| The scenery was pretty. The cruise was a nice relaxing ride with a very funny captain.
I do feel that there could have been a little more narration. Some type of information as to the history of the lake or it's surroundings.
Overall the cruise was pleasant. |

| Our group had a very good time and the scenery was fantastic. Nine of our group of 12 had never been on the cruise. They enjoyed it very much as well as the ones who had taken it before. We tell everyone to take the Dolly Steamboat Cruise. |

| For out of town guests who only have a few days in the Phoenix area, a trip out to Canyon Lake and a ride on the Steamboat Dolly is a Must Do!!
The Steamboat Dolly is a relaxing 90 minute boat ride with narration from the Captain about the history, local scenery, and the wildlife. Its a very relaxing and enjoyable trip. |

| My wife and I are wintering in Arizona from Ohio, and, our four friends are from Arizona. This was the first time for any of us to take this tour. We all enjoyed it very much. It was a treat to see the bighorn sheep. We all took many good photos. |
