  Never did i believe that 1.5 hours could be so factual and interesting. The scenery was fantastic, as well as a great sailing and comfortale Ride.The big horn sheep and the eagles and other birds made this a very affordable experience. thank you.

  Our friends thanked us after the debarcation. The captain spoke well and made our trip so much more enjoyable, more that we expected. The restaurant at the marina was great too.

  This is always first on our list of activities for visitors new to the area. People are always surprised that a dessert area has such a beautiful lake area. The only change I would make would be the boarding process. After making reservations via Zwerve including prepaying, we still had to queue up for over a half an hour to get out boarding number. Much like Southwest Airlines old system, if you don't get there early enough to stand in line for almost an hour, you end up boarding last. Not convenient.

  My parents were in town visiting from Chicago so my wife, 2 year old daughter and I booked us all tickets about 6 weeks in advance. It took us about 75 minutes to get there (from Maricopa) but it was worth it. The ride was well-narrarted and we were lucky to go on such a beautiful day. I would take a group of out-of-town guests again, for sure. The only word of advice (if you're particular about where you might sit on the ride--especially if you want to sit on the upper-part of the boat in the sun) is to make sure you get to the marina pretty early. We didn't know how the boat was boarded (in what order) and it turns out that you form a line at the ticket counter (even if you made reservations in advance). Once they open the ticket counter (about 30 minutes prior to departure) you are given numbered tickets; this is the order in which you board the boat. On a day like this, when it was cool, yet sunny, the uncovered, upper portion of the boat was the prime real estate. Other than that, I have no other advice other than to go and enjoy. Jeff

  We had a great time, enjoyed the captain and crew narration, and got to see some sheep. After being on a 4 hour tour via train, we like the 90 minute tour much better. We will return.

  It was fine - a long curvy drive but otherwise ok. Not very informative narrative but ok. We would recommend it.

  It was very easy to buy the tickets through Zerve and the tour itself was great. I highly suggest going during the week as the lake can be quite busy with boaters and jet skis on the weekend. Much more peaceful during the week and probably a better chance of seeing Rocky Mountain Big Horns, which we saw 2 Mountain Rams. I took my friend's 9 year old daughter and met my sister's Mother-in-law and her friend who were visiting from Michigan. The staff was so great and took a great interest in making sure my friend's daughter had a great time and was safe. The captain was really cool and we had a great day. After the tour you can drive 2 miles further east on apache trail and hit Tortilla Flats Saloon for lunch or enjoy some live music and food out on the patio. Don't forget to bring binoculars, anything in 10x50 or 8x42 will work fine for you. Having binoculars will really enhance your enjoyment of the tour.

  All in our party enjoyed this cruise. The Captain and Crew were delightful and charming, and informative about pertinent information regarding the sights. It is an excellent outing for locals, with our without houseguests, and certainly highly recomended for visitors who know enough to venture up to Canyon Lake. It was a great time. Picnicked afterwards at one of the Forest Service picnic tables. Go!

  We had a handicapped person in a wheel chair and they are very accomodating for with special needs. The cruise is through verticle canyons and the captain pointed out numerous wildlife as we encountered them. We saw eagles, great blue herons and mountain goats along with many birds. We also learned about the desert plants. This is a very relaxing and informative ride.

  The crew was very helpful. The boat is nicely appointed. The only negative comment relates to the method of lining up to get "boarding passes". It was rather haphazard. Things that might help would be a loud speaker system and/or signs that tell folks, upon arrival, what the procedure entails.

  I had relatives here from Illinois and took them on this trip. It was a beautiful trip and narrated concisely and interestingly. I found no trouble with anything except the restaurant which may or may not be connected with you. We were told our food would be served right away. We told them that we were going on the Dolly trip. It didn't come so we left without eating. Perhaps the instructions you make in the advertising would say to get there long before the trip if eating was considered. Several people left with us which was too bad. Otherwise everything was just great and I'll recommend it to others in Mesa.

  I enjoyed the friendly cruise commentary by the boats captain. His funny and informative banter helped to make the trip pleasurable. On the negative side. We arrived early and stood in line for the passes we had purchased. When we received pass number 66, the back stated these were given out on a first come basis. A tour bus pulls up late and received passes starting with #1 and loaded first. This angered a lot of people including my group. The pass did not say that tours were given preference to others. This isn't a first come basis. I would have to tell anyone who asked me about the trip about this part of the trip as a warning. It did take away from the trip from the get go especially when a few of the tours group waved their low numbered tickets at us who had been waiting for so long as they walked by us fools who showed up early!

  The cruise was beautifull scenery but the naration could have included some information about the dam for those in our party who have not taken the cruise before. The whole process for boarding was terrible, having purchased tickets days in advance meant nothing as you still had to wait in a long line that only had one person processing the tickets for everyone. Also the seating was done according to those who picked up the tickets first. Advance sales should have taken priority. Thank you, The Andersons Rimrock, Arizona

  We very much enjoyed the trip on the paddle boat.. The scenery was spectacular and the accomadations were very comfortable. The guide gave us an excellent coverage of the sites and the personnel were very helpful and courteous.. The meal was very good but we would have enjoyed having wine with dinner. I would recommend this experience to other friends.. Thanks Shirley Keaster
