Can't Miss!

We went on a date and we really enjoyed it. The weather was great, and we saw about a dozen big horn sheep (including lambs). The scenery was gorgous and we are planning to come back after it rains to see the waterfalls. It was an awesome experience and I would recommend it to anyone.

Nice trip and relaxing
Sat, Apr 5, 08   12:00 PM jmfausey Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
Boat trip was well worth the price. Seen the long horn sheep but no other wildlife. Enjoyed the tour and the tips from the captain. Only complaint was that it seems such a shame to allow speedboats and jet skis on such a historical site-kind of ruins the ambieance. Also, the water was really dirty from all the boats, oil and such debris. We are from Michigan and are used to seeing clear water here. Otherwise, was a very nice trip.

Dolly worthwhile experience
Sat, Apr 5, 08   5:30 PM donnahughes Female 60-69 Local Group of Friends
This could have been a truly lovely experience. We were highly disappointed that we were not informed there would be a wedding party on the upper deck. (We would have cancelled eight reservations had we known.)They had not chartered the entire boat so they used the PA system. I didn't care to listen to their toasts, etc. Some of their party was late in arriving and the boat waited for them. I thought that highly unfair as we missed out on some daylight exploring. The crew was excellent and the food was phenomenal! This was our second trip on the Dolly and I was anticipating it being as good as the first one. It didn't live up to my expectations. But I was miffed by the twenty minute delay in starting the trip.

Watch out for wedding party on board
Sat, Apr 5, 08   5:30 PM ColleenBahr Female 40-49 Local Family Without Children
I have previously enjoyed the dinner cruise and thought it would be perfect for our out of town company to enjoy. Even though I booked well in advance hoping for the upper deck of the boat, we were greatly disappointed to find out there was a wedding reception on board. The party had secured most of the upper deck which left us all down below and many other passengers besides ourselves were not happy. They also caused us to leave 15 minutes late. I would suggest that you call the Dolly office and confirm there is not a wedding party or large group on board. The food was good and the staff friendly, but unfortunately overall we were all disappointed.

Dolly Steamboat
Sun, Apr 6, 08   12:00 PM carolthomas Female 50-59 Local Couple on a Date
We enjoyed a wonderful day! The history and geographic info Captain Tom shared was very interesting & the music was a nice complement. The views in every direction were fantastic. I would recommend this cruise to anyone...whether resident Arizonan or out of state import or visitor. It makes for an outstanding day trip!

Relaxing cruise
Sun, Apr 6, 08   12:00 PM Vinyard111 Female 60-69 Local Family With Children
I think the music should have had a more fun theme. It was boring and made the trip seem boring. The narator was good, but people also like music.

disappointed
Sun, Apr 6, 08   12:00 PM stacy41584 Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Unspecified
I was disappointed because there was no signs indicting where this cruise was. It took 45 min to find the cruise and when we finally arrived at 12:00, the boat was just leaving the dock as anticipated. We were out the money we paid and very disappointed. I have since talked to many residence of the Phoenix area, none of which knew the exact location of the cruise. I think there should be better indicated signs down Apache Trail. I wish my experience would have been better.

Greatly enjoyed the cruise.

The scenery was fantastic; the weather was fantastic. The Captain's narration was very interesting and helpful while not being overbearing or droning on; the musical interludes were perfect! Can't wait to come back again when there are some water- falls active.

Magical

Very well orginized, staff very friendly. Between the narration and the music and the canyon walls we felt at one with the canyon and the rich history of Arizona.

Great views of the canyon without having to hike
Sun, Apr 6, 08   12:00 PM cfbtrip Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Long and winding road to get there. Lots of great views along the way. The one-way bridges slow down the traffic, but aren't scary. April weather was clear and still cool. Think later in the summer the heat might make this miserable. Breakfast at the cafe was was good and service cordial, but agree that this operation certainly goes at its own slow pace. A lot of confusion that day. Most folks had reservations, but the window didn't open until right before the boat was getting ready to leave the dock. Up close view of the canyon at a slow pace. Yes, the captain's narrative and the music can be a little corny. A good choice for getting out of Phoenix and seeing some desert scenery.

Dolly Steam Boat Nature Tour
Sun, Apr 6, 08   12:00 PM brannam Female 40-49 Local Couple on a Date
The weather was just perfect and the captain was very knowledgeable about the area. My husband and I enjoyed the lake and the history. This tour is really for adults, their were several children on the steamboat in fact a couple sat at our table with two children under the age of 3 yrs old and they could not have enjoyed this tour as they were so occupied trying to keep the kids busy...so why spend the money if you have to keep the kids entertained, get a sitter for this one and make it your day.

Dolly Boat was great; restaurant was lacking
Sun, Apr 6, 08   2:00 PM lsmathews Female 40-49 Local Group of Friends
We went on the 2:00 boat tour on a Saturday. The boat captain was very knowledgable and professional, and the Canyon was magnificent. We took a lot of pictures and really enjoyed the boat tour. We had planned on eating at the restaurant at the marina, but ended up leaving instead. When we got there, we noticed plenty of open seats available outside on the deck, where we asked to sit. We were first told there would be a 5 minute wait to allow the waitresses to "catch up" on their orders. After 15 minutes, we were then told it would be at least 30 minutes before they could seat us, due to "problems with equipment in the kitchen". We could clearly hear some of the waitresses complaining that their shift was over and they wanted to go home. Needless to say, we left. I would suggest the boat tour, it was really fun and interesting, but I would plan on eating in town or bring your own food.
