| We thouroughly enjoyed the trip. Whenever people come to visit from out of town we always take them on the dolly. I highly recommend it to everyone. It was more enjoyable than the grand canyon! |

| We brought our 10 year old grandson on the Dolly - he is from Colorado and he was very intune to the diversity of the ecology. He was very interested in the "sightings" pointed out by the captain. At times he had some difficulty "seeing" the images in the rocks. My only request is that when they are pointed out a little more time is given to individuals on both sides of the boat to find the images. |

| A nice trip, beautiful scenery, but hot at noon! They advertise a first come first serve seating...and they do give you a number...we got there early and were first in line. However, first they board those who are elderly or need assistance. It's nice for them, but not nice for those who purposely get there early, especially when a bus from a retirement community shows up full of people. They gave them all numbers...but then loaded them first... When you get there an hour early, wait in the heat for your number, then end up with 30 people in front of you, it's not really first come first seating as they advertise. They need to rethink that. |

First come, first serve as far as seating

| We were told it would be first come first serve in seating. Well....that isn't the case. All those with wheelchair's......canes, etc. were seated first.....which was a bus load of people. We arrived early so we could have choice seating. This wasn't the case. We were disappointed to be the last on the Steamboat. |

| The Dollysteamboat 90 minute tour of Canyon Lake was our first experience on our 2 week vacation of the southwest. The length of time was perfect for both adults and children. Snacks are available for purchase such as candy and chips. You may bring your own water bottle and I recommend it. There is an upper and lower deck. Children must wear a life jacket at all times. We saw mountain goats, a blue Heron, beautiful scenery. The Captain narrates during the ride. Plenty of time is given for photos. We have two boys ages 11 and 14 and we all enjoyed the trip. |

| My husband, our infant son, and I took this cruise in the middle of summer. It was warm on the boat, but not unbearable in the shade. It was nice to get away from Phoenix for an afternoon. My husband and I both grew up on a river so this was a nice excursion as it reminded us of the midwest summer. If taking an infant, I suggest using an infant carrier instead of a stroller. This way you may sit up top and have a great view! |

| We saw two groups of Desert Bighon Sheep which was very exciting. The scenery is fantastic, and the tour guide was very good. |

| A group of my friends got together for the 4th of July and decided to take the Dolly for a very enjoyable 90 minute cruise around Canyon Lake. Though it was a hot day, there was ample shade on the Dolly and cold water was provided (thank you!). The crew did a great job, and were super nice. I learned a few facts about Canyon Lake, sit back and enjoyed the scenery and great company. |

| We were hosting a newly wed couple from back home in NY,and this trip gave them their first look at wild Bighorns.They took many pictures of the two herds that we were fortunate to see.
Any other family members who visit us in the future are sure to want to see what they did and we will treat them to a cruise. |
