| We took the 90 minute noon cruise and found it to be relaxing, interesting and enjoyable. Was narrated nicely. The price was reasonable. Snacks were sufficient and the price was right. Got to see a little nature as well. Things were done in an orderly fashion.
The restaurant on the grounds was also nice and reasonable. |

| My grandsons enjoy crusing Canyon Lake on the Dolly Steamboat. The highlight is seeing the Bighorn Sheep in the cliffs above the river. This is the second cruise we have taken, and both times we were able to spot the Bighorn Sheep. Many of those we meet on the cruise have been locals taking out-of-town visitors. We live on the west side of Phoenix, and still enjoy the peacefulness of the cruise and the desert landscape ringing the lake.
One suggestion would be to include a little more about the Native peoples who inhabited the area before white settlers came to the area. Visitors are always interested in hearing about our wonderful Native American heritage. |

| Our daughter was visiting from out of state. We wanted to take her to a different type of sight seeing event. The cruise was just excellent. It was everything we hoped for and more. The captain and crew were very friendly and helpful. The cruise was smooth, very beautiful and enjoyable for all of us. |

| The cruise was very nice. The captain would stop at different
places so we could take pictures, and he narrated the whole trip.
It was very scenic, and the weather was perfect. There were
snacks and beverages on the boat that you could purchase.
After the cruise we went to the restaurant. The food was very
good. We will go again. We highly recommend this cruise.

| The boat ride provided one to relax and kick back without having to wonder what is next. The scenery was beautiful and water was calm. The drive over there was like being in your own movie as beautiful as it was. I recomend this cruise to nowhere to anyone who needs to take a break from the real world. I know I will do it again. |

| The Dolly Steamboat is great way to spend a relaxing afternoon. The scenery is beautiful and its fun trying to spot the various animals and rock formations. I have taken this cruise many times and is something I take my out of town guests on. Its never disappointed them. |

| Not being from this area (AZ) it was interesting to hear about the rock formations, the history of the area - we even saw a big horn sheep. The Captain was very informative and he added some humor to his "spill". |

| I always look for fun and exciting things to do when I have out of town guests. The Dolly Steam Boat was fun for my 2 year old and mother that is 60 years old. I would highly recommend this activity if you have any nature lovers in your family. |
