Disappointing
Thu, Jun 5, 08   12:00 PM tobyduffell Male 50-59 Local Group of Friends
Although the boat is clean and well-run, the narration was really lacking. I supose we were spoiled because a short while earlier we had taken a cruise on the Desert Belle on Saguaro Lake. That was captained by a retired US Geological Service scientist and he was able to tell us about the wildlife, gelolgy, plants and give us some historical stories. Also, the Desert Belle allows you to take on food and drink, and I wouldn't have minded not being allowed to take our on on this trip, but there was a very small selection. If the narration could be improved so it was much more interesting, we would go again with guests. Otherwise I recommend the Desert Belle.

Quiet and Relaxing

This is not a trip for young kids who are looking for action, e.g., a lot of wild life. It is a great boat ride and the mountain scenery is beautiful. It's a great trip for family get togethers and small groups. Would highly recommend.

Excellent Trip
Wed, Jun 4, 08   12:00 PM NEWYEAR1 Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Arrived early, but enjoyed just relaxing. Waiting area could use some sprucing up....but overall beautiful breeze and relaxing. Staff was excellent, from ticket booth to captain and crew. Everyone made us feel welcome. Each person was well informed about their job and certainly acted as if they enjoyed it - a welcome addition in todays world. I would highly recommend to anyone traveling in your area.

Fun Trip
Sat, May 31, 08   6:00 PM cjluther Male 30-39 Local Group of Friends
I planned this trip a couple months in advance for my husband's birthday; however, he was so sick that day and the trip wasn't as fun as anticipated. If I would have had a healthy partner I am sure I would have enjoyed myself more. The buffet dinner was really good, service was friendly, and the view was amazing, and the bathrooms were clean. We sat on the top deck with no covering - which was hard at the beginning of the cruise with the sun, but within 20 minutes we were facing the other way and had the open air and stars to gaze at. I would highly recommend this cruise as something "different" to do.

Amazing Value!
Sat, May 31, 08   6:00 PM danlex1 Female 40-49 Local Couple on a Date
My husband and I took the twilight dinner cruise for our anniversary, and we were VERY, VERY pleased. Okay, so it's not exactly 5 star cuisine, so if that's what you're after, keep looking. BUT, the scenery, the service and staff and the trip as a whole were absolutely fabulous! The meal is MORE than enough food, though, as I said, you won't exactly be asking for recipes. But for the price, you can't beat this trip. Two and a half hours on the lake, through the canyons, enjoying the solitude and beauty of it all as the sun went down---for about $50 per person, with dinner incuded. You can't beat a bargain like that and the experience was wonderful. The staff are fun-loving and make you feel right at home on the boat. The boat itself is clean and comfortable---and just about the perfect size for this type of journey. We'll do it again, but this time, we're bringing the kids, too!

Really nice, local activity - great change of pace
Sat, May 31, 08   6:00 PM mkempf Female 40-49 Unspecified Unspecified
This is an activity everyone can enjoy . It's a nice change of pace from "city activities" and is within pretty easy commute reach. I am not sure I would take the dinner cruise again as it was a little distracting from the amazing views and surroundings...who wants to eat dinner when there's so much to see?!?. I've taken both cruises and enjoyed the 90-minute cruise more for this reason.

Some of the best scenic view in the State of AZ
Sat, May 31, 08   2:00 PM hoosierlady Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
For one who has had their own boat on this lake I seen alot of Canyon Lake. I think this Cruise bring out the best the Canyon Lake to people who have limited access. I learn alot of things through the Guide. I was impressed that the guide would stop when we saw wild life (Big Horn Sheep) angel the boat so every one would be able to see them. That was the best... I will definetly bring family from back home (Indiana) who visit to this adventure. Everyone who came with me in my group absolutely loved it.

awful
Sat, May 31, 08   2:00 PM pupils24 Female 20-29 Unspecified Family With Children
the directions i got for the trip were awful and ended up on apache trail. dont even turn on that road it's so narrow and pot- holes all over. i called at 1: 30pm to get directions and the office closed. i asked many locals where the dolly steamboat was and no one had a clue. very dissapointed that i can't get a refund or 2 free tickets to come again.

Sit in the shade...
Sat, May 31, 08   2:00 PM phpNguitars Male 40-49 Local Group of Friends
If you don't have your own boat, and you love the Arizona lanscape then this cruise is a really nice way to go! If you burn...sit in the shade or wear SPF3000 as it is 90 minutes in the Arizona sun. As beautiful as the surrounding landscape and wildlife are to review, the sun will have little mercy on you. The narration was fine. It was a mixture of narration and then mood music. Personally, I would like to have had a little more education than mood music. But that is a difficult balance to strike and you can't please everyone... But for only around $20 I'd say the boat, the narration and the beautiful scenery are well worth your time. After the boat ride, you might want to consider continuing down the road a little further to Tortilla Flats and have lunch! That is an out of the way place that provides for a very interesting and satisfying conclusion to the afternoon.

Dolly Steamboat A Fun Activity for Visitors
Sat, May 31, 08   2:00 PM GeorgianaCav Unspecified Unspecified Local Family With Children
We find Dolly Steamboat is a fun activity for visitors and the kids (ages 6 and 7) liked it too. We enjoy eating lunch at the marina in combination with the ride.

I was sick so my husband and our daughter and son-in-law went on the ride and found it to be very interesting. They are from out of town and it was a treat for them to learn about the area.

A must do!
Wed, May 28, 08   2:00 PM mariahill Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
We had a group of 11 family and friends from various states visiting ...... this boat tour was fabulous and a great way to introduce our loved ones to the awe inspiring Arizona views. Even better is that the location is so close to home. Captain Tom was entertaining as he provided geographical and historical information. The staff were very pleasant and the weather was perfect. Everyone left feeling relaxed, awed, and excited about the venture. Thanks for the great experience!

Great Crew as well as scenery
Wed, May 28, 08   2:00 PM dlwilcox Male 70+ Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Forgot my "e-ticket" but the crew was very understanding and accommodating. This canyon is our favorite for canoeing. The paddle boat was a wonderful way for us to share our love of this canyon with friends from Kentucky. The crew pointed out some big horn sheep right at the beginning of the trip and that set the tone for the entire 1-1/2 hour journey. The captain was friendly, knowledgable and the crew helpful and attentive. They'll willingly take over your camera for a photo! Food and drink available on board. Great trip. Do it!
