Thu, Apr 3, 08 4:00 PM	GlenBagnall	Male	70+	Local	Group of Friends
Your system works fine. Not a problem exchanging my voucher I printed for the tickets.. The Question? Why did the person in front of me only pay $80 for 4 tickets and I payed $88. and change???? because I payed over the internet that cost me more money?? She had made the reserveration and then payed when she got there with a check. Does not sound right to me!!! Waiting to hear from You ................

Nice Scenic Tour through Steep Canyons Narrated Nature Cruise on Canyon Lake
Thu, Apr 3, 08 12:00 PM	mcdonel	Male	50-59	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
This was a pleasant and scenic tour that took us through steep canyons that towered above the lake. Our tour was during the spring (April), which was a perfect time to visit the Arizona dessert. All of the flowers were in bloom and the temperature was very comfortable at about 80 degrees. The panorama was simply amazing, and it would be a good idea to bring some binoculars to help take in all of what nature has to share. We enjoyed the crew and were fortunate to see some wild life such as, Big Horn Sheep, Blue Herons, and a bit more. If you don't get the chance to take a nice leisurely cruise, you won’t want to miss this one. The price is reasonable, and if you have the time, you can enjoy a very nice meal at the marina restaurant. Don't forget to bring plenty of film or a digital camera for memorable pictures.

Enjoyed everything about the cruise. Our captain did a great job. I didn't realize there was so much more to see in Arizona until you get into the out of way places whrere the cruise takes you.

Great but could be much better... Narrated Nature Cruise on Canyon Lake
Tue, Apr 1, 08 2:00 PM	kenjacobsen	Male	50-59	Local	Family Without Children
The Supes are beautiful and to me at least, magical, and gliding along among them on the smooth surface of a lake inside the Superstitions is inevitably a pleasure. I took my mom and even sitting in the middle of the boat on its "first floor" was nice. Some things really disappointed me though. First I can recall only one or at the most two sentences about the geology of the area. We're immersed for two hours in some of the most fascinating geology in the world and most of the narration was "Oh, look, there's a rock that looks like ET! There's one that looks like an angel! There's another one like it up the hill! That one looks like JSBach!" Whereupon Toccata and Fugue in D Minor is played on the sound system. I'd be genuinely reluctant to take European friends on this tour, since it seems like just another embarassing example of the abysmally low education level in this country. Please, Dolly Steamboat, give us some real information about what we're seeing! What parts are igneous and what sedimentary? What is pyroclastic? Lava? Sandstone? Limestone? There's an area pointed out of actual petrified trees mixed with geodes and not a word on how it got there! Second, the music that played loudly when there wasn't narration was often annoying, including some twangy Arizona country song, followed by Enya's "Sail Away", then something from "Titanic"! I wonder if we sank they'd play "Nearer my God to Thee?" I came to see the area, not hear music that's been done to death already, thanks. The jazzy backgroundy stuff with no lyrics was OK because it was unobtrusive, but there was too little of it among the schmaltz. Otherwise, five stars.

The youngest in our group of 8 from Wisconsin was 14 and the oldest was 78. One of us is in a wheel chair. We all liked the trip. Seeing the mountain goat was a high point ... we don't have them in Wisconsin. This was my second trip with you so I guess I must have like the first trip also.
Total Relaxation Twilight Dinner Cruise on Canyon Lake

My sister came down from Ohio, where it was 32 degrees and snow and looking for some warm weather and a nice vacation. We took her on your Dolly Steamboat Dinner Cruise. We had not been on this cruise, so this was a first for all of us. The views were breathtaking and the dinner was excepionaly good.. We grade this at a 10+ and would recommend it to all our friends and family...Thank you for such a wonderful evening, we will never forget it....John, Dolly & JoAnn.
Nice but could be better Narrated Nature Cruise on Canyon Lake
Mon, Mar 31, 08 2:00 PM	DRICKARD	Male	60-69	Local	Family With Children
My wife and son and I enjoyed the cruise very much. However, as the captain and on-boards guides directed our view to interesting natural formations and bighorn sheep, they used vague ("about a hundred feet left of the ___" - who can tell how far 100 feet is when you don't have any common reference?!) and not very helpful clues to look for landmarks, such as reference to trees and shrubs they knew, but whose names were foreign to us.. We had to work hard to see even a glimpse of what was noted before they were gone. An inexpensive laser pointer could have helped us pinpoint the rock formations and landmarks outcroppings where the sheep were supposed to be. Most of the passengers in our vicinity along with us were frustrated by the inability to decipher what was supposed to be there, but many let on like they could see them so our female guide would feel she was being helpful, which she was clearly trying to be, jusdt not successfully..
A Lazy Afternoon Narrated Nature Cruise on Canyon Lake

Very professionally operated, informative and relaxing. A good way to spend a Spring Summer or Fall afternoon, perhaps the Winter would be a little cool for comfort. Kudos to Dolly !
Hello DOLLY! disappointed Narrated Nature Cruise on Canyon Lake
Sun, Mar 30, 08 2:00 PM	HowellJohn	Male	50-59	Local	Couple on a Date
It was a beautiful day, and the water was calm - but, my minor complaint was that we only went PART way up the canyon & lake. We missed a LOT! My MAJOR complaint was that no one would honor my "COYOTE COUPONS" discount: the site had no way to enter this coupon, and no way to contact them directly to adjust the billing; I sent an e-mail to 'customerservice@dollysteamboat.com' (as directed), but the e-mail was returned as "Undeliverable"; and, at the customer window (Sun 3/30), at Canyon Lake, the Dolly Steamboat rep REFUSED to do anything about the discount coupon! :-( She was more interested in making sure the cattle got herded onto the boat. We've lived in Mesa since 1987, and this was our 1st trip on the Dolly - some 'first impression'.

Want to Relax Twilight Dinner Cruise on Canyon Lake
Sat, Mar 29, 08 5:30 PM	jimjohnston	Male	50-59	Local	Group of Friends
This is by far the best way to relax and to see some great scenery on the lake. The cruise was fantastic and the food as well. We go whenever we have the chance as this is just a great way to relax and undwind. We like taking friends with us to show them the natural beauty Arizona has to offer. We will continue to go as the opportunity arises. Well worth the price and very organized.
