Totally enjoyable
Fri, Mar 7, 08   12:00 PM dogsandpaws Male 60-69 Local Group of Friends
Our friends thanked us after the debarcation. The captain spoke well and made our trip so much more enjoyable, more that we expected. The restaurant at the marina was great too.

Great afternoon

We had a great time, enjoyed the captain and crew narration, and got to see some sheep. After being on a 4 hour tour via train, we like the 90 minute tour much better. We will return.

Nice scenery

It was fine - a long curvy drive but otherwise ok. Not very informative narrative but ok. We would recommend it.

Very Enjoyable Outing
Wed, Mar 5, 08   12:00 PM Steveeszenyi Female 60-69 Local Group of Friends
All in our party enjoyed this cruise. The Captain and Crew were delightful and charming, and informative about pertinent information regarding the sights. It is an excellent outing for locals, with our without houseguests, and certainly highly recomended for visitors who know enough to venture up to Canyon Lake. It was a great time. Picnicked afterwards at one of the Forest Service picnic tables. Go!

Relaxing Ride through Beautiful Scenery
Tue, Mar 4, 08   2:00 PM maryanded Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
The crew was very helpful. The boat is nicely appointed. The only negative comment relates to the method of lining up to get "boarding passes". It was rather haphazard. Things that might help would be a loud speaker system and/or signs that tell folks, upon arrival, what the procedure entails.

Beautiful peaceful journey
Sun, Mar 2, 08   2:00 PM charding Female 60-69 Local Family Without Children
I enjoyed the friendly cruise commentary by the boats captain. His funny and informative banter helped to make the trip pleasurable. On the negative side. We arrived early and stood in line for the passes we had purchased. When we received pass number 66, the back stated these were given out on a first come basis. A tour bus pulls up late and received passes starting with #1 and loaded first. This angered a lot of people including my group. The pass did not say that tours were given preference to others. This isn't a first come basis. I would have to tell anyone who asked me about the trip about this part of the trip as a warning. It did take away from the trip from the get go especially when a few of the tours group waved their low numbered tickets at us who had been waiting for so long as they walked by us fools who showed up early!

Ticketing Procedure
Sun, Mar 2, 08   12:00 PM LonnieFAnder Female 60-69 Combination Family With Children
The cruise was beautifull scenery but the naration could have included some information about the dam for those in our party who have not taken the cruise before. The whole process for boarding was terrible, having purchased tickets days in advance meant nothing as you still had to wait in a long line that only had one person processing the tickets for everyone. Also the seating was done according to those who picked up the tickets first. Advance sales should have taken priority. Thank you, The Andersons Rimrock, Arizona

Wonderful trip, great meal
Sat, Mar 1, 08   5:00 PM carolwagner Female 60-69 Combination Family Without Children
The weather was perfect, the trip just fast enough to see the beautiful scenery and take pictures, the staff friendly and helpful and knowledgable about the boat and scenery. The meal eaten by candlelight was great and more than enough food (for me) with the canyon walls in silhouette and then later lighted from the light reflected from the boat. The music was mellow and appropriate. We recommend this trip. Don't know how it would be if the weather is bad though.

Spectacular scenery
Fri, Feb 29, 08   2:00 PM elsupreme Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
The cruise was great. The scenrey is hard to beat.. But unless I had a large party or wanted to go on a busy day such as a weekend, I would not book on line. There is no discount for AAA as there is at the ticket window. Also there is a booking fee The cost of 2 adult tickets at the window is $34. On line it was $44.

Fantastic views
Sun, Sep 23, 07   12:00 PM CarolAlexand Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Our family all enjoyed this cruise on Canyon Lake. The views were incredible and the music and narration added to the afternoon. This is a great way to see the lake and learn about how it came about. We are sure we will be back because seeing this again during a different season would be so interesting and the beauty of the desert is so very relaxing!

FUN AND RELAXING!!!
Sun, Sep 23, 07   12:00 PM rogergoins Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
We took the 12 Noon trip which was an ideal time because of the mid day lighting. Trip was peaceful and pace was slow. It was almost like taking a hot air balloon ride because of the gentle changing of the scenery--great panoramic views. Enjoyed the narration which gave just enough history and background to appreciate the surroundings. Lunch at the Lakeside Restaurant overlooking the dock was excellent, also. We almost took a cooler of sandwiches, etc., because we did not know if there would be a place to eat that served OK food. We would go back to the restaurant --and, of course, to the boat ride.

Beautiful as always!

I took out of town guests from Wisc. & Florida on the Dolly. It was the highlight of their travels. As always, Canyon Lake was beautiful, TOM was a great narrator; the trip just isn't long enough!! Arlene Seydel

Trip was well worth the 1 1/2 hour drive from N. Phoenix and New River, Az. Scenery was beautiful and screne. Wished we had seen some critters along the way. Would take the dinner cruise next year.

My husband and I really enjoyed the excursion. The dinner was very good, and the crew were excellent. They were informative and helpful. We learned a lot about the canyon and its wildlife. We also found it to be very relaxing.
