| We've lived in Scottsdale, AZ for 15 years and never had a clue that the trip on the Dolly Steamboat could be so special. Capt. Tom was both entertaining and informative. The scenery was breathtaking and we plan to return the next time we have visitors. We were pleasantly surprised. |

| It was very relaxing and beautiful. We were fortunate to have a sunny day, but it could be enjoyed rain or shine. The staff was wonderful. |

| Dolly & her crew greeted us warmly upon boarding her and we were promptly underway. Canyon Lake is a desert jewel and we were both looking forward to the promise of beauty and the possibilities of wildlife sightings.
We were not disappointed.
Dolly took us on a slow stroll atop the calm water back into heart of the lake. Stone formations returned our stares; dark traces of rain fed waterfalls littered the canyon walls and I could easily imagine being here during a rainstorm to witness the multiple dozens of waterfalls in full bloom.
There weren't any bighorn sheep curious enough to make themselves visible to us on this day. There was, however, a magnificent bald eagle who decided to wow us with his impeccable self. Settling himself on the tallest outcropping from the clifftop he seemed to be content to watch the humans float by, all wearing those funny binoculars on their eyes!
All the while the Captain kept us informed & entertained over the PA, bringing our attention to other points of interest along the way. There's nothing like a little bit of forced relaxation and the Dolly Steamboat was a gratifying way to spend 90 minutes. I recommend it to newcomers and locals alike. |

| We thoroughly enjoyed this trip. We wish it could have been longer. The scenery is beautiful and it was so wonderful to see this part of Arizona. We will bring our guests on this trip. The narration was excellent and the background music most enjoyable. At the landing there is a wonderful restaurant.
Just one suggestion: put a railing along the walkway all the way to boat. It feels like one could stumble into the water.
Thanks for a great trip!! |

We keep going back.

| This was our second trip on the Dolly. It was fantastic the first time and the second trip was equal. It is a great experience of a different part of Arizona. The vessel and the crew are terrific. It is an informational journey presented with humor.....that made it great. We have recommended this tour to many of our friends. Keep up the great work. |

| With so many activities to do while you are visiting Arizona, one can quickly become quite exhausted. This trip provides a relaxing, but thoroughly enjoyable way to see some of the maginificent beauty of the desert and mountains surrounding Canyon Lake. I have taken guests on this trip several times, and they have all enjoyed it. It is a quiet relaxing way to spend the afternoon while still still seeing new sights. Better than spending an afternoon by the pool. |

| We took this tour on February 3rd.
The boat was clean and the staff was friendly.
The scenery was spectacular. I stopped taking pictures about half way through. I don't think my camera could do it justice. I just wanted to sit back and watch the scenery go by.
Don''t forget your binoculars! That will enhance your experience immeasurably. |
