Excellent for a short day trip
Wed, Jun 17  12:00 PM bertprostor Female 40-49 Local Family Without Children
Beautiful scenery, easy to get to, perfect to bring a visitor who has limited time in Phoenix. The steamboat coupled with Tortilla Flat for lunch is a perfect outing.

Arizona isn't just Desert, we have Lakes!
Sun, Jun 14  12:00 PM ChristineZ Female Unspecified Local Other
The Dolly Steamboat is a great opportunity to show visitors that we have more than a desert here in Arizona and that we have beautiful waterways for boating, etc. In addition to the Grand Canyon and Sedona and all the typical tourist haunts, we take all of our company when they come in to Canyon Lake to show them yet another aspect of Arizona. It gives them another flavor of what our beautiful state has to offer. Most people don't think of lakes and or water when they think of Arizona. It is great for young and older a like but perfect for people who would like a more relaxed, non strenuous day on their visit.

Mountain Sheep
Fri, Jun 12  12:00 PM aimeaugsburg Female 50-59 Combination Family Without Children
This was probably the third time that I've gone on this trip. I enjoy taking visitors out there to see the geography, flora and fauna. It's close by but you see a lot! This was the first time that I've seen the Mountain Sheep though! That was surely the high light. We actually saw two groups of them ... one on either side of the canyon.

Beautiful tour on the Canyon Lake
Fri, Jun 12  12:00 PM NeilJohnson Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We all really enjoyed the 80 minute cruise tour on the lake. Breath taking scenery everywhere you look. Narrator provide background and humor in the presentation. The music played was memorable and appropriate to the event.

Nice ride
Wed, Jun 10  12:00 PM border_rat Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Once we were able to find the marina everything was great. The ride itself was a nice change from the busy schedule we had. The area really is very nice. Better directions to find the locations would be nice. We had to call to make sure we were going correct. That is when we found out the road we were on had two names and the one in the directions was not the one on the street signs.

A wonderful, relaxing day out
Wed, Jun 10  12:00 PM debwoods77 Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
My family were visiting from England and we were looking for an activity that we would all enjoy. Not an easy task considering we were made up of grandparents, parents and children. The Dolly Steamboat was inexpensive, not too long of a drive and a unique activity that we all enjoyed. Everyone came away smiling. The scenery is gorgeous, the captain entertaining and the boat spacious. The only negative thing I can think of is that in the height of summer it may be too hot for some, even though there is plenty of shade aboard the boat. Well organised, on time and helpful staff. The resturaunt on sight was reasonably priced and offered a wide variety of choice. We all cleared our plates. Would definately consider another outing in the future

Dolly Steamboat Cruise on Canyon Lake, AZ
Wed, Jun 10  12:00 PM MelbaJGarris Female Unspecified Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We were among ~ 100 people, including a tour bus of senior citizens, other families and young children, who rode the steamboat/paddle boat on a narrated cruise of the winding lake. The captin of the boat spoke about the canyon and the history, showing us different highlights of the rocks around the lake and we even saw big horn sheep on a steep side of one of the rocky surfaces. It was an enjoyable way to spend an hour and a-half. Afterward we ate at the lakeside restruarant and watched huge carp (fish,) several families of ducks, and big black birds vie for scraps of roll that the kids tossed off the deck into the water. The food was good, price was right and the afternoon was fun. This was June, Phoenix area was in the mid 90's but we were comfortable with the lake breeze, even at noontime when the cruise was offered.

what a great captain and awesome crew
Sat, Jun 6  12:00 PM terryquin Male 50-59 Local Couple on a Date
The captain was really great and did not narrate from some script, and he was funny. Heather was the crew member on our deck and she was awesome and funny also, I could honestly recommend this cruise to anyone. Thanks to the crew and the captain, it was great.

We live in Fountain Hills and are new to Arizona. We were looking for a nice, easy, different and relaxing way to learn more about our new home state and this was a great way to do that.

Fine for Chillin'. Bring a camera.
Sat, Jun 6  12:00 PM Koloratura Female 40-49 Local Couple on a Date
We were looking for a relaxing lake tour, and that's pretty much what we got. Captain & boat staff did a nice job pointing out scenic highlights and wildlife. Some of the jokes were stupid, totally corny. And the music couldn't quite decide what it wanted to be, mostly bouncing from mellow new-agey (as in, Enya) to tug-your-heartstrings country (like they're "tryin' to keep it REAL."), although I'm pretty sure a couple other musical genres were tossed in there (as if they wanted to appeal to everybody, or else not offend anyone???). Certainly I'D just as rather SKIPPED the entire musical mash-up -- a wind and waves soundtrack would have suited me fine -- and been more relaxing! But if you can ignore all that -- and you don't have a boat at your beck and call -- fair to say, this is decent overall -- where else can you spend $20 a person and get to be out on the lake for an hour and a half -- seeing bighorn sheep and small coves with assorted picturesque rock formations??? Do be aware -- this is more a family/group thing. You'd be okay holding hands, that's about it. If you're after romantic ambiance, look elsewhere.... If you want to eat before or after (because you won't get much on the boat, just soda and bagged snacks like chips, at least not overpriced, thank goodness -- you'll pay similar prices on the boat as at Circle K), the restaurant at the marina is pretty good, mostly sandwiches and that ilk. They don't have their own bathrooms, though -- you have to use the marina's. Which seem to get a LOT of traffic. They're functional if you need one (which is what really counts, I guess), but I'm not even sure soap was available. You certainly WON'T want to linger long enough to apply fresh lipstick. (Sorry, my mostly-subdued girly side is popping out here....) It was about 90 on the day we went. There's some shade, and usually a light breeze, so that was fine. But absolutely skip this if it's 100+ out.
