| The scenery was spectacular, made even better by the many sightings of the Bighorn sheep in the mountains. Our daughter and granddaughter enjoyed the views on the Dolly and the beauty of the foothills on the trip there.
The mountain road there is a little threatening if you don't like heights. I was the driver (and don't like heights) and we managed to live through it, so the anxiety I felt was definitely worth it.
A fun day! |

| Our party of four, two from Minnesota and two local residents, had lunch at Cayon Lake and then took the 90 minute boat cruise. The boat trip was fantastic, especially the tour guides commentary. The views were superb and the accomodations and service was much better than expected. We will take this cruise ever time we visit the Phoenix area. |

| We enjoyed all the great scenery that nature provided millions of years ago,
the captian did a great job pointing out things of interest, even stop the boat
to point out a few Rams watching us. |

| We have been on quite a few different excursions and this was by far the best. The Captain made it special with his wonderful sense of humor. We enjoyed his choice of music. We would highly recommend it. Thank you so much. |

| My husband, mother and I decided to find something fun and different to do on a Saturday afternoon. After purusing the internet I found this interesting activity that was close to home. We had never ventured to this part of Phoenix so we decided that this would be a nice excursion for the day. The directions provided on the site were very easy to follow. We had no problem finding the marina and there was ample free parking. The restrooms are located close to the steamboat entrance. We arrived in plenty of time and even though we had to stand in line for a short time there was plenty of seating if you needed it and overhead cover to keep you out of the sun. The reservation process was very organized and the crew was obviously well trained. When boarding the steamboat the captain greeted and assisted customers with a warm and welcoming smile and occasional joke. The cruise itself was very relaxing and the narration and music made the journey very enjoyable. The captain kept to his time schedule but you did not feel that he was rushing the cruise. The scenery and the wildlife are stunning. The captain took his time to angle the steamboat to make sure that each passenger was able to appreciate all the views. He consistently pointed out different rock formations, recited history about the area and helped you use your imagination. We would recommend this cruise if your looking for something that will help you unwind and let your mind wander. |

Picture Perfect Day

| The weather was perfect for touring Canyon Lake. Our group spotted 7 big horn sheep, awesome experience. It was fun to try and identify them since they blended in with the scenery. The crew was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We sat on the upper deck in the back and did not have any problems hearing the captain's comments.
We stood in line for an hour and 45 minutes to get the 1st boading pass in order to assure we sat where we wanted too. I was disappointed that boarding was done by groups of 25 instead of by order of boarding pass number. It was too bad that the reservation window did not open earlier to give out boarding passes to avoid standing in line so long.
Great day overall |

| This is the second trip on the Dolly in two weeks. The quality remains high. The crew is professional and also has a great sense of humor.It is obvious that they take great pride in their work and really enjoy what they are doing.. The narriative is informative and presented in a great format. The PA system is clear and the boat is immaculate. What a great day on the lake. Lunch in the dockside resturant is a bonus. Good food and people; what more could one want.? |
