| This was a great way to see the desert of Arizona and the wonderful boat trip of Canyon Lake. We visited Tortilla Flats afterward and enjoyed the burger. |

| The four of us, (all adults), found the Dolly steamboat trip relaxing, interesting, & informative. The captain gave narration on the rock formations, how they were formed, & the interesting minerals contained, on & in, the rock itself. He discussed the history of the lake area, the dam , & included the dimensions, & depth of the waters, within the lake. He discussed the wildlife in the region, & we were lucky to see a herd of desert bighorn, close to the water. He also discussed the different types of vegetation, from cacti varities,( & how to differentiate), to palo verde trees, & various bushes. We thought everyone was very professional & helpful. We all enjoyed the peaceful trip, on a beautiful , warm, sunny day. |

| Wow! We have lived in Arizona for 3 years, and it took our friends from Michigan who were visiting us to show us, online, of this opportunity.
We live in Gilbert, so this was only 1/2 hour from our home!
The whole boat trip was AWESOME. The scenery was so beautiful. The captain's narrations were very appreciated. The music was so peaceful.
We are SO glad we went on this trip. The 90 minute ride is very much worth the cost.
We would highly recommend this for ALL ages.
What a wonderful day excursion in a state with very limited bodies of water (we lived in Michigan...surrounded by LOTS of water opportunities :)
We did purchase our tickets online (which we would also recommend) , so that we were guaranteed a spot on the boat. You are able to purchase tickets on location, but it is after the online ticketed people receive their spots on board... |

A wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

| We are just retired and came to Arizona for the month of March. (We live in Canada where it is very cold this year) Was suggested that we take in the tour on this lake or the other tour. We booked everything via phone with no problems, the staff person we talked with sent all info via email promptly and was very polite and curtious. Some of our other friends have booked the same tour after we had told them about it.
Would recomend this to others as well.
Thank you and God willing will be back to Arizona next year.

Beautiful Scenery . . . Unpleasant Music

| The scenery is majestic. The chairs are broken and uncomfortable. Most of the music is overly cheesy, corny, and to some degree jingoistic. Needless to say, I would have enjoyed the tour more without the music. I'm not sure if I would bring other visitors on this trip primarily because you have a headache by the end from the ghastly music. |

| When one considers a visit to the desert, one never imagines beauty like is seen on the Canyon Lake cruise - the scenery is spectacular and the boat staff cordial and attentive to detail, especially the safety of their passengers - I'd recommend this cruise to everyone that visits the Sonorian desert |

| We went on this tour to celebrate my mother;s 70th birthday. We have lived in Phoenix for over 30 years and have never taken this cruise before. We thoroughly enjoyed it and had a wonderful time. The boat ride itself was very relaxing with the gentle rocking and soothing music. The narration was just the right amount, with periodic points of interest mentioned. I would go again, and definitely plan to bring out of town guests in the future. |
