Our cruise was on a very pleasant 80F day at the end of March '08. It is recommended that you arrive 30 minutes early as they give you a boarding number based on when you check in. Earlier equals better seating. Canyon Lake provided some nice desert scenery of the rock formations and high cliffs on either side. We didn't see much wildlife on our trip apart from a few hawks, but the way the lake twists and turns through the canyon walls was quite spectacular. There was more personal watercraft than I expected on the lake, but for the most part it wasn't that noisy and the other boaters were friendly. Jeff, the captain was informative and funny in a corny way. I'm sure he's done his routine dozens of times. On board the boat are chips and drinks for sale at a reasonable price. They allow only water bottles to be brought on board. Our cruise was full and consisted of families with children, senior citizens and grandparents, and a few people in their thirties. The cruise is advertised as 90 minutes but I calculated more like 75 as we left a bit late and arrived slightly early. |

This was the perfect time of year to visit Canyon Lake with the wildflowers blooming! We loved the relaxing music, informative narrative, and the comfortable boat. We invited our parents, and they were also impressed. Thanks! |

I reserved the trip and paid on-line the night before, arrived early with the camera, binoculars and water that your website suggested and waited in the shade overlooking the lake on the benches provided. The only small hitch was the confusing sign on the window that seemed to say that they were not running again that day so a few people were worried and there was no one there to explain until the boat returned from the earlier cruise.
Overall, I plan to take others on the boat and probably try th dinner cruise some day.
I went near the end of March and the weather was near perfect for the 4:00 pm cruise.
The crew were helpful, friendly and kept us laughing and looking as they pointed out sights and gave good history information mixe with a few jokes.
Good job! |

I am so glad that we had reservations! Due to spring break, there were not any open seats for this cruise. The entire family enjoyed taking some time to "stop and see the sights" - it was a nice time! |

This was a fun trip for all of the ages (14 yrs to 72yrs) in our group. Yeah, we only got to see a couple of bighorns but that was better than not seeing any and that certainly was not within "Dolly's" control! The weather was beautiful, and the captain narrated the scenery and sights quite well. Only potential hitch - we arrived right on 2pm and almost didn't get on the boat! Be timely! |

Really enjoyed this trip |

Have lived in arizona many years and never gotten around to taking this ride. Took my college daughter and her visiting friend and the scenery and wildlife were spectacular. Will take my parents on their next visit! |

What an oasis in the middle of the desert. Canyon Lake was alive on the day we went on our cruise. The mountains were in bloom and the sun danced off of the water! Wonderful, wonderful time! |

I went on this tour with my husband and son who is 5 years old. Equally we all enjoyed the entire trip. We enjoyed the scenery, history & folklore told and searched for the wildlife - spotting some Big horned sheep and Turkey buzzards. I would highly recommend this tour to all who visit the area! I know once we move here that we'll be taking our visitors here as a highlight to their trip! |
