Beautiful cruise on Canyon Lake
Thu, Mar 26  12:00 PM LeeMarsden Female 70+ Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Visiting our son and his wife who live in Gold Canyon gave us the opportunity to take the cruise with them on Canyon Lake. It was a beautiful day in March. The scenery is gorgeous in the canyon and we were fortunate to see a few long horn sheep high on a cliff. It was a very enjoyable cruise and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Cruise was very nice and scenery awesome!
Thu, Mar 26  12:00 PM mamaMary09 Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
My only complaint is that while we were seated on the left hand side of the boat and a viewing of mountain sheep came up on our side the captain immediately turned the boat for the other side to see them, taking them from our side and then only pointing out things on the right side of the boat the whole tour. Things that could have been pointed out to our side on the way out were not pointed out until the way back when once again it was the right side of the boat he was accomodating. We felt deprived of points of interest.

Nice ride, but not narrated, as claimed
Wed, Mar 25  4:00 PM pshimab Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
The views were beautiful, and the ride was calm and relaxing. The highlight was seeing the mountain goats at the top of the mountain. A couple of other things were pointed out about the cactus and the skyline, but 80% of the ride was not narrated. The day that our family went, the captain was being interviewed by a camera crew, which may explain the lack of narration. Even after the interview was over, there was no narration. We also turned around early, before we reached the end of the lake, about 30-35 minutes into the ride. Overall, it was a nice ride, but it was not the "narrated nature cruise" that we had expected.

I had taken the cruise on Canyon Lake before and recommended it to my friend visiting from Germany. We took the tour together and she was absolutely thrilled.

We had a great time!

Both our groups of Independent and Assisted living elders really enjoyed our afternoons on the Dolly Steamboat. Sierra Pointe has been taking our residents for years and the quality never waivers. Although many of our residents have been many times, they keep signing up year after year!

Boat waited
Wed, Mar 25  2:00 PM prestegard Female 60-69 Local Group of Friends
We were caught behind a boat that was being transferred to the marina. We were late getting to the boat due to the traffic stop. We didn't know until we arrived that the boat knew there were delays and waited. We expected we would have missed the trip. We were thankful.

Ticket Purchasing/Boarding Passes
Wed, Mar 25  12:00 PM JoyceStoner Female 60-69 Combination Group of Friends
The actual boat ride & crew were GREAT! It is a beautiful ride on the boat & the scenry is unbeatable! Having the crew point out the big sheep on the cliffs above was extra special for all of us. I think the Captain and the 2 other crew members were the best anyone could find for this boat ride. My only suggestion would be to improve on the ticketing process. By just having the passengers check in on line with their confirmation # to print the boarding passes & then present them in line as they arrive to see if they have a full load for the ride. They should arrive no later than 20 mins. prior to boarding. If they are not there on time, sell tickets to other people coming who wish to purchase tickets. This way you have your pass & can board as the numbers are called. This activity is well worth the money and ones time. It is just a wonderful boat ride & excellent information about the lake and area. Bring a camera & binoculars. Your pictures are just a great way to remember all the fun & scenry. Thank you so much!

DON'T MISS THIS BOAT RIDE!
Wed, Mar 25  12:00 PM Navidadman Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
This is a must for anyone who likes to view the grandeur of nature in comfort. Two couples of us came here from Austin, Texas for Spring Training baseball games and this was a side trip because we had extra time. It was agreed by the four of us that this was one of the best parts of our trip. Texas hill country is great but it pales compared to Canyon Lake tour. This is a six ****** star attraction. Be sure and bring your camera and your binoculars.

WHAT A VERY RELAXING 90 MINUTES!
Tue, Mar 24  12:00 PM sagecactus Female 60-69 Local Family Without Children
The scenery on the lake is so beautiful...Mother Nature at its best. The manner of boarding by first come-first serve numbered tickets was efficient and organized, and eliminated any chance of pushing and shoving. I took my 85 year old mother visiting from NJ on the trip. She can't stop talking about how "serene" it was. The captain was so informative and interruped the music only to impart some facts of the canyon or point out interesting formations and bighorn sheep sightings. This is not, however, an activity that I would recommend for children of pre-teen age or younger. Boredom sets in pretty quickly on a quiet ride and results in the need to expend pent up energy. All in all, the Dolly was worth every penny of the ticket price. I can't wait to take other visitors on this trip so I can enjoy it again, too.

Great Afternoon On The Lake
Tue, Mar 24  12:00 PM dmolzahn Male 70+ Combination Family Without Children
It was an ideal weather day; 70's and sunny, little wind. The personnel very friendly and helpful. Narration on trip was very good. They could do a much better job checking in and then boarding. Large number of people with many trying to get ahead in the lines while some actually went down the ramp onto the dock even though they were told to wait in the sheltered area. The need someone there to keep the crowd in line and NOT going down the ramp or those with high numbers for boarding crowding the entrance area. Minor complaint. GREAT cruise. We'll do it again sometime.

Great activity
Mon, Mar 23  2:00 PM edithtabor Female 60-69 Local Group of Friends
This was a great activity for a group of friends to do together. Retired people from all over the US was in our small group of 12. It showed many of them new details of Arizona that is something different that desert life. The narrator was good at telling about the different formations in the mountains around the lake and pointing out wildlife that we came accross.

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the narrative provided by the Captain. He was very knowledge of the flora and fauna of the area and provided many details of the surrounding area. Highly recommend the tour. Next time through the area we are already talking about taking the dinner cruise.

We had so much fun on this cruise!
Mon, Mar 23  2:00 PM tkclarkfam Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We had so much fun on this cruise! The entire process from purchasing our tickets, finding the marina, to boarding the boat was very easy. The boat was clean, had several bathrooms, a great concession stand, and there was plenty of space for everybody! The crew was very friendly, and the captain was awesome! We had a great time!
