The trip through the canyon was breath-takingly beautiful and serene. The Captain, (T-O-M) was very knowledgeable ...knew right when to break in with some wonderful sighting or terrific fact...and knew when to just let you (try) to be one with nature. The music accompanying us on the trip was just the perfect touch. A great afternoon outing and one we've already raved about to all our friends and family!
Thank you |

The boat was in good repair though it could have used a bit of sprucing up (cobwebs on some of the windows) and considering that this is Arizona, a few fans would have been very nice to ward off some of the heat. The captain was very pleasant, well informed and treated everyone with respect and courtesy. I know this is out of your control but I think the lake is small and should be limited to boats only, ban the jet skies as they make the water very choppy and most of the operators have no respect for anyone else on the water. Back to the tour....the scenery around the lake is very nice and probably during the cooler months there is more wildlife visible along the shore and up on the higher elevations. All in all, a nice cruise. I would recommend it to anyone. |

My husband and I were visiting Phoenix/Scottsdale for vacation. We had been the previous 2 summers as well. Last year we were driving the Apache Trail when we happened upon the Dolly. We went back the next day to sign up for the afternoon cruise but it was closed. We made sure to buy our tickets before we left NJ this year! It was very hot, Arizona was having a heat wave with 44% humidity - so that quote about "but it's a dry heat" wasn't holding true for us. I was miserable with the heat and only looking forward to returning to the hotel to sit by (or rather in) the pool. But we boarded the Dolly and our Captain and his crew were so gracious that I started to forget about the heat. We found the cruise to be relaxing and the breeze which was created by the movement on the lake was refreshing. The sights were amazing - we didn't see much wildlife but the scenery was awesome. Thank you Captain Tom for an enjoyable 90 minutes! |

We had out of town family come to visit us in Chandler. Since we had a busy schedule, we didn't have time to prepare our boat and drag it to the lake, so we thought we'd give your tour boat a try. Given the relatively hot temperatures, I thought it would be uncomfortable, but with ample shade on the boat, we were quite comfortable. The ride was very well narrated, and Capt. T-O-M made it interesting. We saw a lot of gorgeous rugged desert and mountain terrain. I said to my wife that I wish we would have known about this when we first moved here 2 years ago. We look forward to doing a dinner cruise once the dam is repaired by next spring.
Thank You. |

This was our first narrative tour on Dolly Lake cruise and the captain and crew are very courtious and friendly. The cruise was well narrated by the captain and he pointed out spots of interest along the way down the lake and on the way back to the marina. My friends an I were very impressed and would do this trip again and this time maybe do the dinner cruise. This is was money well spent. |
