| There was 3 ½ in our group. My Husband, Sister, her little Chihuahua and myself. Even Annie ( the dog ) loved it. We did this for my Husbands Birthday and he said this was one of the best gifts he has received and he’s 64 now. Loved the friendliness for the crew. And Captain Tom did a wonderful job of the narrated cruise. We want to return for one of the dinner cruises. Was told they have a Christmas light cruise too. That sounds like it would be great one to go on also.
So, I highly recommend the Narrated Nature Cruise on Canyon Lake on the Dolly Steamboat to all ages. It is a very relaxing enjoyable cruise you won’t want to miss.
Sincerely,
Bessie Dooly |

| I had cousins in from Scotland and New Jersey this November. We enjoyed everything about the tour. The narrator had a wonderful speaking voice and quite a sense of humor. The staff that was upstairs with us was completely knowledgeable about the area. Also, she shared her binoculars. And the best part of this cuise was seeing over a dozen bighorn sheep on the side of a mountain. What a thrill. |

| I live in Green Valley, AZ (formerly from MN), and I had a sister from MN visiting. We decided to do the Apache Trail and include the Dolly in our activities. I got my tickets on line and when we arrived we had no problems getting checked in.
The tour on the Dolly is one of the best attractions in Arizona - in my estimation. I would highly recommend it. We were fortunate (VERY FORTUNATE, according to the captain) to view a large herd of Big Horn Sheep grazing on the hillside. It was utterly magnificent. He even turned the boat around so all could get a good "camera" view. The narrator spoke clearly and understandably, the scenery was amazing, and our upper-level server/steward, Cindy, was wonderful!
The remainder of our four days in the Superstitions was spent hiking many of the beautiful and scenic trails; but our experience on the Dolly was still "tops" on our list! |

| Our 15-year-old grandson was visiting us for a week from Illinois, and we added the Dolly Steamboat to his itinerary as we traveled around the state. We enjoyed the cruise and the sights...sort of a quiet time for a 15-year-old after a week of hurried activity. We will do this again. |

| This was a beautiful trip and a very friendly crew. We had a beautiful day. It was very picturesque. Although the boat was handicapable, the restroom was not for wheelchairs. You can buy light snacks on board. There is a snackbar you can buy food at before or after the cruise. We did not go in there, so I can not say what they had or what kind of prices they had. We chose to go the the Mining Camp Restaurant. You pass the turnoff for it on your way to the Dolly. The food there is wonderful and served family style on aluminum mining plates. Both are wll worth the money. |

| The boat ride gave us beautiful views and the narrative was light hearted and the music appealing. The staff were friendly and seemed interested in explaining things to you. We may come again to enjoy the ride another time. |
