| We enjoyed the boat trip very much. The scenery and the bighorn sheep were great. Sometimes it was hard to understand the narrator. The sound system could be a bit better. But the ride was well worth the trip. The lake was quiet and very clear in most places. It is a good ride to take when someone can't get around very well. We took my mother and she liked it. | ||||||

| The Narrated Nature Cruise on Canyon Lake was an enlightening experience and enjoyable. The narration was not too much to be daunting, but provided just enough information of interest. The duration of the cruise was great and the boat was very clean and comfortable. I would recommend the lunch time cruise as oppose the dinner cruise in my opinion as it would be too dark in the Fall to enjoy the surroundings. | ||||||

| The ride was very pleasant and comfortable. The scenery around Canyon Lake is outstanding as you meander around various bends in the lake. The Captain and crew were very attentive and customer-oriented. | ||||||

| This sternwheeler steamboat cruise takes you into the back country of Tonto National Forest. Captain Tom makes plenty of stops, and explains geological, biological, historical and amusing features of Canyon Lake. For instance, along the way, we saw Bach and his organ, bat caves, a mammoth and two native women guarding Canyon Lake. Captain Tom had a story for them all. (In fact, thanks to this great cruise, we found ourselves seeing characters and shapes in other landforms we encountered while touring Arizona.) The tour was also interactive and informative; Captain Tom had us ask Bach to play his organ, and asked us questions about what we might be seeing. He took genuine interest in his passengers and related personal stories with us where conversation allowed. Perhaps my favorite feature of Canyon Lake was the wall of geodes and petrified trees, seen end-on, near the turn-around point of the cruise. We took the tour in November on a calm day. The boat was clean and, on our cruise, comfortably uncrowded. Compared to other attractions we visited, the cruise was relaxing. We had a fun time and took the opportunity of sitting-while-touring to really see the sights and learn the stories. We took plenty of photos which will complement the memories we made. | ||||||

| I've lived in the Valley for over 18 yrs & never knew this beautiful place existed so close to me, it took a visit from a friend from out of town to know about it.... WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO TOUR THE CANYON THIS WILL NOW BE ON OUR LIST OF PLACES TO TAKE OUR OUT OF TOWN GUESTS NEXT TIME WE PLAN TO DO THE DINNER CRUISE They say on web site you can bring bottle water, but they don't mention there is beverages & snacks available on board, so take a little extra cash in case you get the munchies | ||||||

| This was a great trip to take. One of my friends said that she might have just driven into the lake, looked and left. She was really happy that I had arranged for the trip. Do to our own fault, we sat in the back of the boat and it was hard to hear the narrator. Fully recommend that you get there early so you can get either a top level seating or a front seating. The guid took time to point our interests and look for wildlife that we probably would not have spotted. | ||||||

| We enjoyed this nature cruise very much. The weather was perfect, not too cool, and not too hot. Looks like November is a good time to go. The cruise was relaxing, and the scenery was great. I would love to go again and try the dinner cruise at night! This is a good trip for everyone of all ages. | ||||||

| The one thing i did not like and will probably be the reason we don't do it again i had tickets that i bought in advance but walk ons were able to go on board as special needs, so i wound up with a lousy location, this should be seating like the dinner cruise does, reserved so you get a good spot . | ||||||

Very nice cruise except for the speaker sound.

| I took this cruise for a date that I planned for my girlfriend. We both love nature and doing activities outside so this was a perfect get away for an afternoon. The drive was very nice only about an hour and a half from downtown phoenix. Canyon Lake and its surrounding were breath-taking and the whole place was beautiful. I only had a few complaints throughout the trip. One being the lines and waiting to get your boarding pass. It didn't take very long but other people who had come that day as walk ons got to recieve their passes before others there who are made reservations, thus getting to board sooner. In the end it didn't make much of a difference because I still got the spot on the Dolly that I wanted. The cruise was a very smooth ride and road up very close to the sides of mountains so that you could see every little detail. The only other problem was not the narration but the speaker quality. From where I was seated and moving around at, which was the lower level back near the engine, you couldn't make out what he was saying or you would have to get very close to the speakers. This wasn't an issue inside whenever I went in but outside there was no point in trying to listen to it. Besides these small things this trip was wonderful and I would highly recemmend it, | ||||||

November evening dinner cruise

| Sat, Nov 8, 08 5:00 PM | JABurris | Male | 60-69 | Combination | Group of Friends | |
| We enjoyed the evening greatly. The information given was neither too little nor too much. As the Baby bear said, it was juts right.. The staff was cheerfull and helpfull. Dinner was fine and appropriate. We only have two negative comments. While waiting to board, the smokers were too close to those of us that don't. The preparation of the cooked corn served that evening needs a better recipe. | ||||||

| We took the twilight dinner cruise as a special celebration. From the minute we arrived, we were made to feel welcomed. The scenery, the staff, and the food was exemplary. I plan to return for the Christmas Caroling cruise in December! Don't pass up a chance to ride the steamboat. There is even inside seating for those that shy away from the cool AZ evenings. | ||||||
