  We had a good time on the boat and enjoyed having lunch at the marina. However I was not aware that buying tickets on line would cost us a extra $2.00 surcharge. You should make that clear on the site. I would buy them there anyway because it is less of a hassle.

  The whole family enjoyed the ride. The scenery was beautiful, the boat was comfortable and the narration very informative. We sat on the upper deck in the sun and looked at all of the beauty go by while tanning. Fun.

  This was an interesting tour but not spectactular. We didn't see much wildlife and I don't know if it was the time of day, the season, or if that is typical. We saw a couple of birds. The scenery was interesting and the day was lovely. The drive to the tour was through the mountains and very twisty.

  The scenery was beautiful, but the ride was short. The music they play can put you to sleep and I found that most of the folks on the boat were well into their senior years. I'm a senior but prefer a younger group with more life. It's ok for the laid back but if your full of life it's too slow. Not sure it was worth the money. Wouldn't do it again. The ride to Canyon Lake was very nice though. I'd do the ride through the mountain again. Sorry, was somewhat boring for me and my guest. The boat only went 3 miles and turned around, not very far at all.
Rating: 5 The beauty of the Arizona mountains is phenomenol.

  Even my children, 9 and 10, thought this was an extremely beautiful afternoon. The weather was PERFECT. If it is too hot, sit inside. The captain was very informative and entertaining. I'd do it again the next time I visit Phoenix! Well worth the money. I'd really like to try the dinner cruise.
Rating: 4 Canyon Lake Cruise, with a group and family.

  Our first cruise was with a group of srs. and we truly enjoyed the 1pm cruise . We ate lunch in the restaurant and then took the cruise. Then my daughter and two grandchildren came in one child is 10yrs old and an avid swimmer on a swim team in Michigan he was told he and his 12 yr old sister who also is an avid swimmer, that they were required to wear those bulky orange life jackets they did not enjoy the cruise because of it both of the childrens backs were soaking wet from the hot sun and they were truly miserable they sat quiely during the entire cruise. They both looked very unhappy since they thought it was going to be wonderful..The grandson said I would be able to save myself before all those old people could save themselves and how true and he said they do not have to wear a life jacket. Then we took the dinner cruise with our other daughter , husband and 8 yr old son. Well he was told while he was sitting he could take the life jacket off but when he was up walking around he had to wear the life jacket so two different situations and the night cruise was far cooler than the middle of the sunny day. So there you have it . This will be the story I will have to pass on. Thanks again we as adults did enjoy the cruise. We did not have to wear the life jackets.

  We all (4 of us) absolutely loved the tour. The young man at the controls and narrating was excellent. He has the perfect voice for this tour. Seating accommodations were fine. We will take our friends on the tour whenever they visit us in Arizona. (this was our third time with guests)

  The afternoon was a great change of pace from the shopping and sightseeing done in the general Phoenix area. Nice mix for grandparents, parents and kids to enjoy. The address listed for Dolly should not be used for programming GPS. NOT THE SAME LOCATION to meet the boat.!!!!! We were not the first to end up at the wrong place using the business address. Ask for an address when booking, maybe that will help.

  Wife, self, daughter and son-in-law very much enjoyed the cruise. Crew friendly and seating comfortable. Captain could (should?) have been a bit more knowledgeable about geology. Aquaintance with deep lake hydrology may increase his knowledge base. We all would have like to see wildlife, but noon sailing and hot weather pretty much precluded sightings. Perhaps add a morning cruise at 9:30 or 10:00? Over all, we enjoyed the cruise and would rate it 95% +.
Rating: 3 Good scenery, lacklustre narration

  Compared with many other scenic trips of this type, we found the narration lacking in depth and enthusiasm. More history of the dam, it's construction, impact on the valley and the environment could have been included. Also lacking was comprehsive local history--settlements, natives, superstitions, tall tales. Scenery is incredible but isn't spectacular enough to overcome the disappointing commentary. We have enjoyed similar tours in the southern US, Alaska, Egypt, NZ and Australia--this one let us down.

  My brother and a friend came into town visiting from CT. They wanted to see some of the tourist attactions of AZ. They also wanted to see the desert in bloom. I have been on your cruise numerous times and always enjoy it as much as the first time. My brother had been on the cruise a few years ago, but wanted his friend to experience the boat ride through the canyon. His friend had never been to AZ before and truly thought it was breathtaking! My brother enjoyed the trip as well. Our only complaint is the smoking on the boat. I do home with the new law that this will no longer take place. I always recommend the trip to Canyon Lake and the boat ride to out of town guest. I am sure that myself, family and friends will ride the Dolly again!
