| We have lived in Mesa for 19 years and had never taken this boat trip. Friends were visiting from Colorado and we were looking for a way to "show" them Arizona. Even though they live in the beautiful Rocky Mountains they were awed by the beauty of the canyon and enjoyed the relaxing ride. We all had such a good experience. We will be doing this again for sure. |

| We enjoyed lunch as a group (families with preschoolers from our church) at Tortilla Flats, then completed the day with a 2 p.m. Dolly Steamboat trip. The children (2 - 8 year olds) had a great time spotting Big Horn Sheep and deer and just being on the water. The adults all enjoyed the scenery and pleasant boat ride, commenting it would be a different trip without children. I would recommend it either way, with or without preschoolers. |

| All four of us so enjoyed the scenic trip around Canyon Lake. The captain was quite informative and had a great sense of humor. We found the Dolly Steamboat very clean and it was so quiet and relaxing on the 90 minute trip. Everyone was quite professional. I would definetly reccomend this for family and friends.

| The only "negative" we encountered on this otherwise GREAT experience, was the Slooooooow service at the marina's restaurant. We ordered 2 cups of that day's soup special, which we thought would be "quick" to fill... 30-minutes later our soup specials arrived??? Fortunately, this did not remove our positive memories of our nature cruise on Canyon Lake!!!
Thank You for allowing us such input for future service improvements.
Sincerely,

| A tour of Canyon Lake would be an ideal context in which to deliver an informal lecture on the area's geology. Instead, we get imaginative interpretations of rock formations, e.g. this one is J.S. Bach, that one's an elephant, etc. |

| A woman representing a large group cut in front of me in the boarding pass line, thus causing us to be in the last group to board even though we were one of the first to arrive. The problem resulting was that there was not a place where my whole family and our guest (8 of us total) could sit together, unless we all sat in the sun. We couldn't reasonalby do this as we had our baby with us. We would have greatly appreciated some assistance with this situation. We paid quite a bit for a quality family event--we certainly expected to be able to sit together. |

| We had a group of family visit us from the midwest and the group ranged in age from 33 to 67 and was comprised of male and female. The total experience was positive. The boat was comfortable and the narration was audible and informative with breaks filled with serene music to accompany the beauty of nature.The length of the tour was perfect for all of us. We all highly recommend this tour. |
