| The whole family enjoyed the ride. The scenery was beautiful, the boat was comfortable and the narration very informative. We sat on the upper deck in the
sun and looked at all of the beauty go by while tanning. Fun. |

| We had a good time on the boat and enjoyed having lunch at the marina. However I was not aware that buying tickets on line would cost us a extra $2.00 surcharge.
You should make that clear on the site. I would buy them there anyway because it is less of a hassle. |

| I bought tickets for myself and my parents who were visiting from out of state. They really enjoyed the cruise and liked seeing how we do have some water in the desert. I've been to the end of Canyon Lake before and it didn't seem like we got very far on this cruise, but I know there is only so far you can go in 90 minutes. Our captain was very knowledgeable and taught us some things we didn't know. |

| Narration very informative but could be increased and the musical "breaks" subsequently reduced.. We took 12:00pm cruise and had a picnic at a park table along the shore afterwards making it an all day activity. Brochures and ads should advise bringing binoculars to view wildlife and heighten cruise enjoyment.. Otherwise, animals are mere specks at the top of the mountains. If possible, cruise should follow a circular route instead of doubling back on the same path. |

| Highly recommended. The scenery is spectacular and spiritually uplifting. The narration of natural and local history is interesting. The drive in on the Apache Trail is also a great part of the trip. Lunch at quirky Tortilla Flat 2 miles up the road is fun. |

| This was such a great family activity while we were visiting Arizona! The drive to the Steamboat ride was as breathtaking as the tour itself. Unique, offbeat and definitely worth taking again! 5 stars!!!!! |

| We have wintered in Arizona for 13 years and had never taken the Dolly Steamboat cruise. Other friends recommended it so highly, saying they go every year, that we decided it was time for us to go. Our 21 year old grandson had come to spend a few days with us before leaving for the AirForce and we were looking for enjoyable and different things to do with him. He was enchanted by the views along the way and it was a great afternoon.

| the boat ride was nice. The canyon is pretty spectacular. I had hope to see more animals. The captain didn't seem to be particularly interested in wild life. There were some birds flying, but he didn't even point them out (vultures, herons). |
