Very relaxing cruise Twilight Dinner Cruise on Canyon Lake
Sat, May 16 6:00 PM	candacecatal	Female	60-69	Local	Couple on a Date
The cruise was very relaxing, the food was moderate. Very friendly crew. Our seating was excellent. We would definitely take the dinner cruise again were it not for the distance, and the last 14 miles on the Apache Trail. Approaching the destination wasn't too bad, coming back, in the dark, with no shoulder or guard rails was a bit unnerving. It was a bit pricey. I only eat chicken, and chose not to get the pasta entre for the same price. Perhaps the vegetarian selection should be a lower amount?
Cruise was a little long but worth going on once. Twilight Dinner Cruise on Canyon Lake

The scenery on the dinner cruise was absolutely breath taking. The food was excellent, much better than I expected, and the staff was very friendly. Once it got dark though it was just long. Nothing to see and it seemed as if we were traveling much slower. I would recommend going on this once especially if you are unfamiliar with the area lakes as we were.
So much fun! Twilight Dinner Cruise on Canyon Lake

The Captain was personable, pointing out wildlife and telling funny stories. Food was great, although menu said pasta primavera for the veggie selection and what I got was spaghetti, but it was great. The cruise is 2.5 hours long, and we thought 2 would have been better - we got a bit bored after dark.
Very pleasant activity for a group of friends. Twilight Dinner Cruise on Canyon Lake

With the exception of some confusion about the amt. of wine or beer that we could take aboard the boat for dinner, everything else about this trip was pleasant and fun. The food was filling, but not spectacular. However, the scenery and narrative by the Captain was very informative and entertaining. Be sure to bring binoculars for each person in your group; its pretty hard to see some of the desert animals without them. Jet skiers and some small race-type boats ruin the serenity at some points, but all in all the experience is well worth the cost, which is about $64/person. The fee is advertised as including tips, but there is a tip jar at the caterer's table. We were advised that we could bring aboard two 12-once beers/person or one small plastic bottle of wine(6 oz only), but we noticed that as the last group of passengers boarded the boat, the captain didn't even check their coolers. We would have preferred to bring aboard one good bottle of wine for our group of four, but were not allowed to do so. No alcohol is served or sold aboard the boat. Plastic or aluminum (beer cans) only. Of course, the drive from wherever you are coming from down through the canyon to get to the lake is spectacular.

It was a nice evening though a bit pricey Twilight Dinner Cruise on Canyon Lake
Sat, May 16 6:00 PM	gregfam	Female	40-49	Local	Couple on a Date
We had a very enjoyable evening for the most part. I am hesitant to recommend it because I would never pay what it cost for what we got. We went as a gift from friends. We were shaded almost entirely. We had the perfect amount of sun and darkness. Mid May requires fans however and we felt a bit stuffy. Any hotter and we would have been uncomfortable. We saw big horned sheep and some huge birds. The captain gave just the right amount of narration. He was able to point out many interesting things. We enjoyed much quiet time visiting as well. The food was surprisingly good. We were all filled. The meat was cooked on an open grill and was very tasty. The salad could have used croutons or something other than opening a bag but I sure ate it all up anyways! The baked potatoes were perfectly done as well as the veggies. The pie tasted like a good store bought pie. It was really a yummy meal. Part way through our meal, stinky water started dripping on us from the ceiling. We made the captain aware and he said he would investigate. 20 minutes later it was just dripping more. We asked 2 other people for a solution and finally found out that a leaky ice machine overhead was not given the proper care and they corrected it but that the water was already in the ceiling. Sorry! There were no available tables to move us to and nobody attempted at another solution. We asked them to put chairs up on the deck for us and we would sit there. They seemed to then forget about us and we needed to remind them that we were interested in dessert. We were disappointed in their response to our problem which was there problem actually. They may have been a bit understaffed for anything out of the ordinary. All in all, we had a good time. We've done it now and will not likely do it again.
BEAUTIFUL DESERT SCENERY Narrated Nature Cruise on Canyon Lake

The Dolly was great experience, with a wonderful staff. I enjoyed the comfort of the boat and the narration of the area. The desert scenery is beautiful from the view of the Dolly on the lake. The price is very reasonable for this excursions and would recommended it. Would hope to try next time a dinner cruise.
Fantastic, as always!! Narrated Nature Cruise on Canyon Lake
Sat, May 16 12:00 PM	shelleelayo	Female	40-49	Local	Family With Children
I'm not sure why people consider this a 'tourist' thing to do! I've been here almost 20 years and we go at least every other year, then follow it up with a trip to Tortilla Flat for some killer chili and cowboy burgers. It's a perfect way to spend a day! The crew is always friendly, they don't inflate the prices at the onboard snack bar/souvenier shop (and they could - you're kind of a captive audience!) and no matter how many times I hear the narration (which hasn't changed in years!) it reminds me of what a beautiful state we live in!
VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE Narrated Nature Cruise on Canyon Lake
Sat, May 16 12:00 PM	nuggetlacey	Female	70+	Local	Family With Children
Our group consisted of 9 adults, 1 twelve year old and a 4 year old. We all really did enjoy the narration on the cruise. Our Ship Captain was very interesting and pointed out many, many things we would not have seen otherwise. We saw 5 Big Horn Sheep which was exciting. All of the employees were very courteous and helpful. It was very relaxing and all-in-all a very nice experience. I would definitely go again. Pat Warren Sun Lakes, Arizona

Peaceful 1 1/2 hour trip. Beautiful scenery and Capt. Tom was a good narator. Would be nice if some food was aboard. The ship was nice and clean and great viewing seats. Makes for a nice day trip if you are traveling through.

Enjoyed paddle boating around the lake with the wife and in-laws for a couple of hours. Beautiful serene scenery, and not too crowded. They serve basic snacks, lemonade, iced tea, etc.
