| The scenery on the lake is so beautiful...Mother Nature at its best. The manner of boarding by first come-first serve numbered tickets was efficient and organized, and eliminated any chance of pushing and shoving. I took my 85 year old mother visiting from NJ on the trip. She can't stop talking about how "serene" it was. The captain was so informative and interruped the music only to impart some facts of the canyon or point out interesting formations and bighorn sheep sightings. This is not, however, an activity that I would recommend for children of pre-teen age or younger. Boredom sets in pretty quickly on a quiet ride and results in the need to expend pent up energy.
All in all, the Dolly was worth every penny of the ticket price. I can't wait to take other visitors on this trip so I can enjoy it again, too. |

| It was an ideal weather day; 70's and sunny, little wind.
The personnel very friendly and helpful. Narration on trip was very good.
They could do a much better job checking in and then boarding. Large number of people with many trying to get ahead in the lines while some actually went down the ramp onto the dock even though they were told to wait in the sheltered area. The need someone there to keep the crowd in line and NOT going down the ramp or those with high numbers for boarding crowding the entrance area.
Minor complaint. GREAT cruise. We'll do it again sometime. |

| This was a great activity for a group of friends to do together. Retired people from all over the US was in our small group of 12. It showed many of them new details of Arizona that is something different that desert life. The narrator was good at telling about the different formations in the mountains around the lake and pointing out wildlife that we came accross. |

| Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the narrative provided by the Captain. He was very knowledge of the flora and fauna of the area and provided many details of the surrounding area. Highly recommend the tour. Next time through the area we are already talking about taking the dinner cruise. |

| We had so much fun on this cruise! The entire process from purchasing our tickets, finding the marina, to boarding the boat was very easy. The boat was clean, had several bathrooms, a great concession stand, and there was plenty of space for everybody! The crew was very friendly, and the captain was awesome! We had a great time! |

| The steamboat ride on Canyon Lake was inspiring, the scenery beautiful, and the Captain knowledgeable about the area. The seating arrangement on the boat could have been better. The top deck was filled before we boarded so we sat inside but the views were obstructed by the low ceiling. Overall we enjoyed the trip and would do it again. |

| We all enjoyed the boat ride very much. The scenery was so nice. The staff on the boat were especially nice - we had a little boy on board who was kind of crabby due to a lack of nap and the crew asked a few times if they could be of help to us.
The boat itself was very good - no one experienced any seasickness of any kind.
I would recommend this scenic boat ride to anyone in the area! |

| We bought the tickets and of coarse...arrived late. We got to the boat and it was already loaded and about to leave. Arriving late made me a little anxious but we were eased when we got on the boat and realized it was ok! The Captain and his SeaMate were awesome! They were smiling and ready for our cruise. They even let us borrow the binoculars. The Captains were also very informative, and easy to hear on the speaker; while at the same time the speaker did not take away from the mood of the cruise. The music choice was good and the scenery was beautiful. We even seen some Big Horns! We are definitely going back and we are bringing the whole family next time. This is something great for a couple, a family, or a social group. Kudos! |

| A nice and relaxing cruse on the lake enjoying the nature and the fact to stay with my wife. The only "sad" point was that the "waterwheel" of the "steamboat" was not IN the water. |
