| I am local, but new to the Phoenix area and wanted to get out and see the beautiful state of Arizona. I took my twin sons 11 years old with me. We had a wonderful time. The crew had interesting information and facts of the area. We happened upon a group of 10 sheep and Captain Jeff loaned his binoculars to myself and my children for close up views. They were all so very nice. We took the noon cruise and you can get snacks on the boat if you wish, but we chose to eat at the Marina restaurant afterwards instead and sat out on the dock to watch the boaters as we ate. A beautiful day! |

| Nine years ago, while visiting my sister and brother-in-law in Gilbert, we vacationed here from Illinois. We took this cruise and really enjoyed it. Now, as residents ourselves, we brought along neighbors who aren't as lucky as us to live here year around. We couldn't stop talking about the cruise. The scenery was outstanding, the trip was relaxing and educational and even seeing the wildlife was amazing. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone and we're all hoping we can make it back as a group to also enjoy the dinner cruise. We have visitors coming and this will be one place that will be on our list of "must do's". Thank you for an enjoyable Sunday afternoon. |

| The views of the lake and surrounding hills were very beautiful. The pace of the cruise was nice and slow which made for a relaxing trip around the lake. The crew was very friendly and we had a great time on the cruise. The drive up to the lake was very scenic too. We would highly recommend this activity to others. |

| The "cruise" was nice, and the scenery was great but you really need to be sitting outside on the top deck to fully enjoy the whole experience, much of what you are going to be looking at is very high up on the cliffs. The narrative by the captain was well done. The cruise begins at noon,... lunch time... and lasts an hour and a half... there are snacks ... popcorn, chips, sodas available for purchase on the boat but thats it. They really should serve some kind of lunch, either eat a very late breakfast or bring your fishing pole... your going to need it.
2 things that would make the cruise just awesome would be to completely remove the roof and enclosure on the top deck for greater viewing and to serve lunch. |

| The boat ride was very relaxing and just long enough. The captain was funny making it more pleasurable. He pointed out the wild life when he saw it. He also explained the wild life you can see on any given day. I was with family and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Also snacks can be purchased . I am not sure how many people the boat holds, however, my guess is 130 or so with upper and lower deck. There is also a washroom on board. . Life jackets are a must for children and are provided with instruction. I would definately take the cruise again.

| Visiting our son and his wife who live in Gold Canyon gave us the opportunity to take the cruise with them on Canyon Lake. It was a beautiful day in March. The scenery is gorgeous in the canyon and we were fortunate to see a few long horn sheep high on a cliff. It was a very enjoyable cruise and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. |
