I had relatives from out of town visit me. I always take visitors that come to visit me on the Dolly, its very relaxing and the sites and wildlife are good, it gives them a good view of the desert.

Very relaxing
Mon, Nov 16  12:00 PM dmluecke Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This was an excellent trip that was very relaxing. I thought the boat tour was an appropriate length, the tour guides were helpful and informative and there was adequate chance to be outdoors or indoors depending on the weather. While this cruise takes place at lunch time and you are not permitted to bring food on board - the snack bar only sells popcorn and chips. You are also required to be at the dock 30 minutes prior to boarding - which appears to be a bit excessive and ends up with everyone just standing around for 30 minutes. It does take awhile to get to the site (about an hour from Scottsdale) - but with adequate information and that the boat leaves promptly - it would seem that a 10-15 minute advance arrival would be adequate. You do not get on the boat until almost noon. The ride was very pleasant and the scenery was beautiful. The captain even backed up to give everyone a better and longer chance to see some of the wildlife.

Proud Choice
Sat, Nov 14  5:00 PM jovruzjak Male 60-69 Local Couple on a Date
Initially shopping for a "weekend getaway" to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Thought of going up to Lake Powell, but that is now closed for the season. Sought assist from our AAA Office. Surprisingly, they had nothing to offer or suggest?? Searched (Online) next and discovered Website for the Twilight Dinner Cruise at Canyon Lake. Extremely pleased with our choice to celebrate our anniversary this way for the evening. Even though we did not find "a weekend getaway." Certainly it gets darker early at this time of year. Enjoying the sights is limited, even though the Captain narrates. Then again, it's a (Twilight dinner Cruise) not their Nature or Rainbow Cruise during the day. The Captain, crew & staff made us feel as great guests. Tableclothes & napkins with candle at the table. A special, well-planned & prepared dinner. Other services too. I told staff to have a Representative make contact with AAA out here..... I do not understand why they have nothing to pull up or recommend such as this in their data base. Unless the AAA agent was lazy and didn't help us with a search? Dolly Steamboat also offers a AAA Member ticket discount, which was $3.00 each. I called their office to get the code to enter for the Online purchase. This trip for us from Surprise, was two hours. Guess, I've said plenty. Thanks again.

Dinner Cruise on the Dolly Steamboat
Sat, Nov 14  5:00 PM DickSolomon Male 70+ Local Couple on a Date
This twilight dinner cruise on the Dolly Steamboat was much more enjoyable than expected! We had been given tickets as gifts last Christmas by one of our sons and his wife; however, kept putting off the experience as we were busy with other things. We finally arranged to go last Saturday evening. We found everything well-organized and the crew very friendly and accommodating.The buffet -style meal was excellent. Because we are an older couple, one of the crew members offered to go down to the lower deck and bring our food up to us! Later, we learned that this thoughtful person was filling in for another crew member who could not work that evening, and that he was the alternate captain! We visited with him somewhat during the cruise and learned a lot about the history of Canyon Lake and the surrounding area. We are looking forward to taking this cruise again in the near future.

Dark Too Early
Sat, Nov 14  5:00 PM sheri13 Female 50-59 Local Couple on a Date
The cruise was pleasant, and the food fine. It would have been much better if the cruise had started an hour earlier. We went in November and the sun set an hour after we left so we spent most of the time in the dark. It would have been much more enjoyable if we had gone at a time of year when the sun was out longer or if there was a full moon. That way the we could have seen more of the canyon.

Outstanding evening
Sat, Nov 14  5:00 PM masmith4833 Male 50-59 Local Family Without Children
We book this curse for a family event with out of state guest. We had a party of 11, and the evening was outstanding. The staff made everyone feel very welcomed, and they provided some great information about the lake and the area. The food was excellent, and served in a very organized manner. This trip was everything that we expected it to be, and we have recommended it to several friends already. We are looking forward to taking this cruse again.

Canyon Lake Tour
Wed, Nov 11  12:00 PM rallan Male 50-59 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
My wife and I where in the Phoenix area primarily for golf but took one day to drive up the canyon. The ride on the Dolly filled a couple of hours just fine, a nice change of pace. The crew were friendly and offered some good background information. Definately recommended.

Pleasant way to enjoy the area. Low key. Don't count on getting lunch on the boat like I did - popcorn is all they had.

Wonderfully relaxing, scenic cruise
Fri, Nov 6  5:00 PM rolna7 Female 60-69 Combination Family Without Children
During my family's visit the first week of November, we traveled around most of northern Arizona. Since they live near water back east, I thought the Dolly Steamboat would be the perfect end to their trip to our beautiful state. And, it was. They thoroughly enjoyed the serenity and beauty of Canyon Lake. We took the dinner cruise and the food, service and narration of the scenery around us were awesome. I highly recommend this cruise.

A Fall Ride on the Dolly Steamboat
Fri, Nov 6  12:00 PM ConnieFeazel Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We sat on the top level outside and it was a beautiful fall day. The trip was wonderful. Captain Tom gave a very informative and fun narrative about the lake, the animals and all the area around Canyon lake. We had a very relaxing, informative and fun cruise on the Dolly. I highly recommend it to everyone.
