Enjoyed the trip and naration on Canyon Lake. Parking at the marina was hard on a Sunday with lots of people using the lake.

The only thing that could be improved is the boarding process. We had reservations b ut still had to wait in line to get boarding pass, then wait again to get on boat.

Arrive early !

This was our third trip on the Dolly. The last time we saw some big horned sheep climbing high in the rocks so we brought a camera and binoculars this time hoping we would get a chance to use them. We had reservations for the 2pm cruise because my wife volunteers at a hospital in Mesa and works till 1pm. We arrived at Canyon Lake at 1:50pm and received the last boarding pass. We ended up sitting in the cabin across from the bathroom. The location was terrible.We were on the port side and the captain, who was on the starboard side, did a nice job of narrating everything he observed on his right. We were unable to see much of anything this trip. This is a good cruise, but you must arrive early if you want to sit in the upper deck or at a window on the starboard side.

Seeing the Big Horn Sheep was a highlight.

We moved to Apache Junction from upstate New York in January of 2006. We discovered Canyon Lake and the Dolly Steamboat Cruise and have taken EVERY visitor ever since. Thanks to our Captan, Jeff, he alerted us to the presence of several Big Horn Sheep on top of a cliff. I was able to photograph them. Every one of our cruises was a most enjoyable experience but this one was extraordinary! Thank you Jeff. Even though the cost is reasonable, I'm still waiting for my "frequent flyer" discounts!!

Well worth the ticket
Wed, Apr 16, 08   2:00 PM WoodyH Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Everything was great -- from the wonderful drive out to the dock on! I especially like the "board by #" - it avoids the stampede for the best seats. Only negative comment is the statement to be there 30 minutes before boarding - and there's no one in the ticket office! But the prior cruise showed up 25 minutes before, so things went OK. The lake is beautiful - the commentary very good. The staff was friendly, and helpful. One word of warning - if you set up front, you have trouble hearing the commentary for the wind and bow splash. All in all - a very relaxing 1-1/2 hours.

This was our second trip on the Dolly Steamboat. Both were very informative and enjoyable. Captain Tom and the crew did a very good job. I recommend this trip to many others.

A GREAT SETTING FOR A RELAXING AFTERNOON!

From the moment you check in with the friendly hostess in the booth, your time of natural splendor and relaxation begins. Ample seating is provided as you wait ( a short wait) for all to check in. Then a short jaunt to the Dolly. The Captain and his crew greet you warmly and are quick to answer all questions, even the silly ones, I think they enjoy their jobs. My wife and I went with a group of friends from church. We stopped at one of the picnic areas before we got to the Landing, and had an enjoyable picnic lunch. (Get a map of the area and plan a time and spot, thanks to the Internet). The tables and the chairs on the Dolly are comfortable enough for the one and one half hour tour. The sights and sounds are refreshing, even the very occasional speed boat, and those are friendly with waves of recognition to fellow Lake Travellers. By no means is this an exciting attraction. However, if you just want to visit a beautifully created landscape, that happens to have a gorgeous Lake in the middle and surrounding of it, on which you can just plain relax ....then I will recommend this tour to you. Bring your camera's and a 16-24 oz. bottle of water. (Drinking water is provided on the Dolly if you run out.) If you've ever dreamed of renting a pontoon boat and skippering your friends or family around the Lake, you may consider the Dolly Steamboat as a more enjoyable alternative. It's less expensive, less stress, no responsibility (other than don't lean to far over the edge), and the crew has Historical as well as other interesting information to share with you as well. I know I only gave it a Four Star, but that's because it doesn't have the adrenaline some of you are looking for, sorry, I loved it!

Loved it.

This is my forth time on this ride but I had clients in from the East Coast and they wanted to see a piece of Arizona in the tight time sturture they had while here. What better to do than Tortilla Flats and then the Dolly ride. They were so impressed and loved it. The Captain was very good and kept everyone informed. Thanks for the fun!

Do it for the ride, not the food.

The cruise was wonderful, we even saw a bald eagle. I would recommend the less expensive afternoon cruise over the expensive dinner cruise. The prime rib was cold and not very flavorful. The chicken tasted good but was overcooked. Oh well, they are sailors, not chefs.
