My husband and I took our parents on the Dolly Steamboat tour of Canyon Lake. It was a busy Saturday which had a negative affect on the tour; lots of jet skis circling the steamboat trying to jump the wake. This, along with the tour guide lacking real insight into the surrounding scenery, made the overall experience a great disappointment. I would recommend saving the money and renting a pontoon boat on Canyon Lake. |

As a new resident to Phoenix, my husband and I wanted to find a place to take our family when they came out from Ohio and Calf. My new friends at work recommended Canyon Lake boat tour...We checked on line, thought it would be great and booked for 5 adults and 1 child which was free...I liked that very much!
We drove out to check it all out before everyone got here and loved the drive and hairpin turns to the canyon...We are explorers! Found everything...Got a beer in the resturant, went to Toritta Flats got an ice cream cone and earrings...went back home!
Then when the family came we did it all over again...the boat ride was wonderful, the captain was just great with all the history, loved the music...popcorn and snacks very reasonable in price...Free water was a very nice thing to have...Got back, we all went into the resturant and ate great food and ICE COLD beer...went back to the FLATS and all got prickly pear cactus ice cream...and drove home....Our children, their wives and our 4 year old granddaughter had a great time....Would tell anyone to buy tickets and do this tour....
Thanks so much
Marci and Joe Williams

We had a nice time, although it was a bit long, and it was pretty hot outside. When we tried to find a seat inside for some shade, many tables for 4 were occupied by 2 and therefore, "taken". We didn't feel it was right to intrude on the other passengers.
The narration was wonderful. I've lived in this part of Arizona for over 10 years, enjoyed many of its lakes, and the information about Canyon Lake, it's geography and wildlife was very interesting . Thoroughly enjoyable.
I thought the price was a little high, tho. |

Great Time.... |

This is the third time we have taken out of town visotors on the Boat.... It is always great scenery and a nice showcase of Arizona. However, I have to say we had four kids with us from the ages of 8 through 12 and they had a terrible time. They had to where lifevests the enitire time and they were sweating like stuck pigs!! so between the kids complaining and us explaining why.... I do not think we will go back again until the kids are old enough not to wear those heavy lifepreservers. |

I took my parents on the Dolly Steamboat trip for Mother's day. It was nice to have an activity with my parents on Mother's Day. They enjoyed getting out and the food was better than they expected. We all enjoyed the trip, and Jeff the captin was pretty funny too. |
