| I think for the price there should have been some complimentary beverages or snacks. Other than that the boat ride was fine. What bothered me was all the jet ski's and drunk idiots that kept buzzing around the boat that annoyed me. At one point there was a helicopter that did about several low flybys. Which made it difficult to enjoy the music or narration. |

| The ride was lovely and there is some beuatiful things to see. We enjoyed the ride and Captain Tom. The boarding process is a bit of a disaster. You take the printout you get from Zerve to the window to get a numbered boarding pass. After watching people cut in line, we finally got our boarding passes numbered in the 40's. When boarding was called, they allowed those with special needs to board first then it was supposed to be by number. However, chaos erupted and people just stormed the captain and handed him their tickets. The captain seemed flustered and didn't even check the numbered tickets. We just got out of the way and were one of the last to board. I think they need more people to help with the process to keep everyone in line. If they don't intend to board in an organized fashion, they should just abandon the attempt and get rid of the numbered tickets. |

| I took my Deaf students on the tour & we all loved it! One cannot truly appreciate the lake fully without seeing the grand views from Steamboat Dolly as she glides you through the beautiful canyons. The narration was very informative and intensely fascinating! I recommend this tour for all ages!!! |

| My wife and I have lived in Tucson for 10 years, and had never been to Canyon Lake. The Dolly Steamboat ride was a great way to see the lake and its beauty. Our captain and crew were great as well. Only downside was it was raining heavily as we departed, putting somewhat of a damper on the experience. But someone must have been watching over us, since about 40 minutes into the cruise the sun came out. All in all it's a great day trip for tourists and locals as well. |

| This would make my second trip to Canyon Lake in as many months.
First a "local" friend and I went and had a most wonderful time on the Fairy and great eats at the restaurant.
Second time a friend from out-of-state was visiting and we went up for Lunch and a ride and she was so entirely impressed she just couldn't say enough about the trip.
The remaining two days she spoke over and over about Canyon Lake and Dolly and wants to come back soon and do it again.
My husband is the next one wanting to go. He's heard from my friends and myself about the ride, seen all the pictures and is very interested in going so when we can work out our schedules, you will see me again, with another new face!!!
I love the tranquility and completely relaxing effect of the trip for me. And I love the fact that the people I take up there to Canyon Lake SO LOVE the trip as well. You and I make a good team and everyone is HAPPY!!!!
Always, Laurel Martin |

| My only negative comment is the wait was too long -- no need to be there 30 minutes ahead of time. |

| My six year old daughter and I truly enjoyed the ride. The scenery is breathtaking, and the ride is calming. My daughter can't wait to go again. |
