I had friends from Michigan visiting and it was a nice sunny day out on the lake.
They enjoyed not only the warm weather but the beautiful canyon as well. |

Great day on the lake |

It was a very enjoyable day with the captain and crew being very knowledgeable. The only thing I would change is the way the guests are loaded onto the boat. Numbers really do not mean anything when everyone is crowded around the gate and the first 25 get to go on. They should be loaded according to number, the first 10 at a time. It's not going to take any longer and it makes it more fair. Otherwise all you have to do is get in line first and you're on as the captain really doesn't look at your number either. |

A most enjoyable excursion and a great value. |

A very peaceful, almost spiritual trip. The scenery is gorgeous and the musice selected by the tour operators is perfect for the setting. |

Beautiful trip around the lake |

Captain Tom was a terrific narrator of the lake and surrounding area. He knew the geology of the rocks. We even saw some big horned sheep standing on the side of the mountain. Everything was good except for one of the crew members, she was a little snippy. She needed my AAA card when I got there to give me my tickets for my reservation (They should have said that I needed my AAA card when I reserved my spot on the boat), so I had to run back to the car. Also, I wanted to buy some snacks for the ride and she was in the middle of putting the tickets back in numerical order and could not stop instead she told me it would be a few minutes. This is something that she could have done after the boat ride instead of during. But other wise the trip was worth while!!! |

This was our second trip on the Dolly Steamboat. Both were very informative and enjoyable. Captain Tom and the crew did a very good job.
I recommend this trip to many others. |

From the moment you check in with the friendly hostess in the booth, your time of natural splendor and relaxation begins. Ample seating is provided as you wait ( a short wait) for all to check in. Then a short jaunt to the Dolly. The Captain and his crew greet you warmly and are quick to answer all questions, even the silly ones, I think they enjoy their jobs.
My wife and I went with a group of friends from church. We stopped at one of the picnic areas before we got to the Landing, and had an enjoyable picnic lunch. (Get a map of the area and plan a time and spot, thanks to the Internet).
The tables and the chairs on the Dolly are comfortable enough for the one and one half hour tour. The sights and sounds are refreshing, even the very occasional speed boat, and those are friendly with waves of recognition to fellow Lake Travellers.
By no means is this an exciting attraction. However, if you just want to visit a beautifully created landscape, that happens to have a gorgeous Lake in the middle and surrounding of it, on which you can just plain relax ....then I will recommend this tour to you. Bring your camera's and a 16-24 oz. bottle of water. (Drinking water is provided on the Dolly if you run out.)
If you've ever dreamed of renting a pontoon boat and skippering your friends or family around the Lake, you may consider the Dolly Steamboat as a more enjoyable alternative. It's less expensive, less stress, no responsibility (other than don't lean to far over the edge), and the crew has Historical as well as other interesting information to share with you as well. I know I only gave it a Four Star, but that's because it doesn't have the adrenaline some of you are looking for, sorry, I loved it! |

I went with local friends for a birthday celebration and then the following week with friends visiting from Massachusetts.
Enjoyed both trips. Planning on going back for the dinner cruise.
The trip is enjoyable and the narration fun.
The only drawback was the price.
The hour and a half went by very quickly and still not sure it was worth $20.00 a person.
That was the only drawback. the scenery was beautiful.
Definately would recommend. |

The natural vistas and phenomena of the park and Canyon Lake with its many inlets and coves attest to the marvelous creation of God. I was with a group from our church and we enjoyed picnicking near the marina and taking the 1 1/2 hour cruise on the Dolly. The narrator and staff of the Dolly were courteous, well informed and provided an interesting ride on the lake and through the canyons. I would recommend this ride to any who like to relax and enjoy viewing beautiful nature and socializing with people. |

Loved it. |

This is my forth time on this ride but I had clients in from the East Coast and they wanted to see a piece of Arizona in the tight time sturture they had while here. What better to do than Tortilla Flats and then the Dolly ride. They were so impressed and loved it. The Captain was very good and kept everyone informed.
Thanks for the fun! |
