| Overall a positive experience. Do not expect to see wildlife during the daytime cruise. I think the kids were a little bored with information regarding the rock formations etc. but it was interesting for others. Please know that children 12 and under are required to wear a life jacket throughout the entire cruise- this was a problem for some children on board so be prepared. |

| We took some out of town family on the Dolly Steamboat. They truly loved it and can't stop talking about what a great time they had. The scenery was beautiful and the naration made the whole ride worthwile. Even my young children enjoyed it. I would definitely come back again. |

| This was a wonderful trip. Having lived in Arizona for 17 years, I'd never heard of the Dolly Steam Boat...it took a visiting couple from England to enlighten me and my sister to its existence. I have already recommended this trip to everyone at work. The restaurant at the marina left MUCH to be desired. Service was poor, waited over 45 min for our breakfast which made us have to eat in a hurry to get on boat, could not find waitress for bill....next time we will eat breakfast in the valley. |

| bees bees bees! Ok, the cruise was ok. tooled around the lake. went down into the cove at one end of it and back again. lotsa rock cliffs. we did see couple sheep and some ram. bring your binoculars, camera, maybe jacket later or early in the season; might get cold. Dont sit near concession stand. The boat is just a power house boat thats been convrted for the cruise. no biggie there. Get ther early to get seating up top. We didnt so we were stuck inside with cap't's lame tour jokes.
The entrance was swarming with bees. So was the pop machine dispenser INSIDE the boat. There was a BOATLOAD of bees around this boat (boating humor) on the boat, during the cruise and a TON on shore. But the staff didnt care. All n all it was kinda boring and annoying.
Oh, and pretty drive going up there. With windey roads |

| I enjoyed this as my first time on a watercraft. The scenery was beautiful as I expected from Arizona Canyons! The fact we saw big horn sheep was a real treat!
I only wish I could have enjoyed the peacefulness of being on a quiet lake - I found the music distracting.
The narration was great as he pointed out various points of interest, but in between - I would have preferred quiet time to hear the water and relative silence.
Otherwise - I really did enjoy it and recommend to others - we plan to take the astronomy tour when weather warms up for night time viewing! |
