| This was a last minute decision on our part. First time visitors to Phoenix and with all the options of things to do, places to go; we decided on Canyon Lake. We're very glad we did. Beautiful drive to and from and a very enjoyable boat trip. Crew was knowledgeable and pleasant. Thank you! |

| This was a wonderful trip. Having lived in Arizona for 17 years, I'd never heard of the Dolly Steam Boat...it took a visiting couple from England to enlighten me and my sister to its existence. I have already recommended this trip to everyone at work. The restaurant at the marina left MUCH to be desired. Service was poor, waited over 45 min for our breakfast which made us have to eat in a hurry to get on boat, could not find waitress for bill....next time we will eat breakfast in the valley. |

| Best money that we spent while on vacation. Scenery was awesome, boat was great, staff was helpful and knowledgable, and the Captain did a great job. How can I move this boat ride to Florida? |

| bees bees bees! Ok, the cruise was ok. tooled around the lake. went down into the cove at one end of it and back again. lotsa rock cliffs. we did see couple sheep and some ram. bring your binoculars, camera, maybe jacket later or early in the season; might get cold. Dont sit near concession stand. The boat is just a power house boat thats been convrted for the cruise. no biggie there. Get ther early to get seating up top. We didnt so we were stuck inside with cap't's lame tour jokes.
The entrance was swarming with bees. So was the pop machine dispenser INSIDE the boat. There was a BOATLOAD of bees around this boat (boating humor) on the boat, during the cruise and a TON on shore. But the staff didnt care. All n all it was kinda boring and annoying.
Oh, and pretty drive going up there. With windey roads |

| I enjoyed this as my first time on a watercraft. The scenery was beautiful as I expected from Arizona Canyons! The fact we saw big horn sheep was a real treat!
I only wish I could have enjoyed the peacefulness of being on a quiet lake - I found the music distracting.
The narration was great as he pointed out various points of interest, but in between - I would have preferred quiet time to hear the water and relative silence.
Otherwise - I really did enjoy it and recommend to others - we plan to take the astronomy tour when weather warms up for night time viewing! |

| Our group really enjoyed the trip. The scenery, and descriptions of rock features by the crew was excellent.
There was a large school group on the boat with us, and we were pleasantly surprised at the way the staff handled them. The group was given instructions that amounted to the "socially accepted behavior" that we taught our kids when they were young. It made for a peaceful experience for all of us.
We are new residents of Az, and brought visiting friends to the tour. We'll probably try a different tour soon. |
