| We were a large group; seven adults and four chlldren ranging in age from 2 to 8 years of age. All but two of us--family visiting from the east coast--live in the Phoenix area. It was the first time any of us had visited Canyon Lake and taken the Dolly Steamboat. Not only was the ride beautiful and relaxing, but the captain's narration of the Lake, etc., was very interesting and informative. It was a fun afternoon for all of us and our visiting relatives had a great time! |

| Cool, blue water, fresh air with gentle breezes. Comfy seats with plenty of viewing areas for picture taking. Beautiful scenery and a great narrative of the flora and fauna.
Staff was helpful and pleasant. |

| we had a lovely day. Didn''t see any big horned sheep, but the mountain scenery is well worth the trip. I had been before but my friends hadn't and it is well worth the price. |

| This is a rare privilege to see magnificent landscape from a variety of angles. Every minute the scenery changes in perspective. Cold water is provided on board for free, and the canteen is quite reasonable in its prices, even though no food can be brought on board. We saw a bald eagle. The captain points out rock formations and their resemblance to people and animals. There are caves which seem close enough to touch. |

| It was in the 90s the day we sailed, yet is was cool and just right on board. The speed of the boat gave us just the right breeze to keep up cool. The Captian gave us a great running comentary as we sailed. The views were just outstanding. I cannot really put into words how pleasant and comfortable the whole experence was. I have recomended it to all my friends and plan on doing it over again. |

| We had an out-of-state guest and wanted to introduce her to some of the local flora and fauna in our state -- she was very impressed with the cruise, as we were, and the information related to us by the captain. |

| Canyon Lake is great. The tour is nice, but it is not a paddle boat. It is more like a double decker platform that holds about 50 people on each deck. If you are a group of 6 or more, you might want to rent a personal pontoon boat. That way you can bring food and drinks on board, stop and swim, and enjoy yourself. Our group will be back next year and we'll spend the extra money for our little boat. |

| I and my elderly parents took the noon hour cruise in early September. We found it to be a very soothing ride. We enjoyed the scenery and the captain did not talk too much. Even though it was a hot day there was a slight cooling breeze on the water.
Sitting on the top deck inside gave a great view of the canyon and protection from the sun.
Walking down the many steps to the boat was difficult for my dad but he was the one who did not want help. He did start down ahead of the group. I knew beforehand that there was a wheelchair available if necessary.
I wish the cruise were either at 10:30 a.m. or 1:30 p.m. Our only criticism is that we were starving by the time we got back on shore and could have our leisurely lunch at the resaurant. |
