Extremely Informative

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.

Pretty, but slow

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.

Great relaxing cruise

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.

A fun outing for tourists and locals alike.

I am a local and have brought all my visitors to ride the Dolly. I would do this by myself even if I didn't have enough out of town visitors at different times of the year to take in the changing scenery. A great inexpensive, relaxing event away from the hustle and bustle of vacation touring.

Great Boat Tour
Wed, Sep 9  12:00 PM charong Male 50-59 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
My wife and I have done a number of these type of boat tours both in the US and Canada. We would rate the Dolly Steamboat Tour as one of the best. The scenery you drive through to get to the boat is worth the trip in and of itself. The reservation process, the small restaurant on site, the loading process was flawless. The tour was well narrated, the boat was VERY CLEAN, the staff were great. There were lots of interesting sights and sightings during the 90 minute tour. My only complaint, as with any great event is that it ended too soon.

Wonderful Views and narration
Mon, Sep 7  12:00 PM michiemom Female 50-59 Unspecified Unspecified
My son and I decided to do this on Labor Day! it was nearly a 2 hour drive, but so worrht it, the cruise was wonderful. We were fortunate enough to select the back section of the boat, where we could move our chairs inorder to not have to sit in the sun! it was a bit warm that day. The cruise was just the right pace, time enough to enjoy the views! The narration was just right! not too much, not too little, the interesting scenery including old petrified logs, and the crevases in the rocks, the areas where you could tell that during certain parts of the year water would be falling off of the high cliffs. The interestingly named points, and out croppings were fun to look at, the elephant etc. The captains "mates" were great, and happily took our photos with the boat at the end of our ride. It was just the right amount of time and we sure enjoyed it. Then we went up to the restaraunt and had a delicious lunch! with great service. here's one idea for you, include the ride and a buffet lunch, maybe on Saturday and Sunday or on holidays, that way the cook wouldnt be so swamped all at once! and the waitresses, who weren't busy until we arrived! then they really had to fly! and hey I would spend $ 40 a piece for the ride with buffet included. And the buffet should be something different, fun, interesting!

Relatives from Europe
Thu, Sep 3  12:00 PM janetann Female 70+ Local Family Without Children
We had 3 generations of European Relatives with us and they all enjoyed the very nice day, good weather, nice scenry, very relaxing and we saw one Big Horn Sheep. Enjoyed lunch at Tortilla Flats prior to boarding, then a trip through Goldfield, old mining town with ice cream and then pizza at Organ Stop Pizza, Mesa, with all the wonderful music. A very nice day.
