| We totally enjoyed the boat ride and the breathtaking views! The staff was friendly and all points of interested were pointed out. I would most certainly return to take another ride. I am sure the evening ride is beautiful also. We were visiting from NJ and our friends who live in Chandler AZ for 12 years have yet to visit, so I told them they must check it out! | ||||||

| We are about to move out of state, and before we do, mom and dad (in their 70's) asked us to join them on the Dolly boat ride. To be honest, was a little unsure that it would amount to much. Yet as I have found on the other occasions I've left "the beaten path" within the Superstition Wilderness, this world of beauty and amazing scenery opens up. I am also a travel writer, so for me, this is something I do, but "took the day off" to simply enjoy - and I did. We all did! The boat itself is very comfortable, well designed and not at all "sea sickening". They handle boarding very well for those with special needs, like my parents. The staff/crew are very friendly, helpful, and love what they're doing. We sat at the far back, main floor, and while we couldn't hear everything on the speakers, it allowed us to talk, to feel the peace, to enjoy in a different way. There is food and drinks, tourist pricing, and plenty of options for viewing, sitting, and enjoying. Bathrooms are on board and easy to use. But the views are what this is all about. The captain knows this area like a native and shares a lot of great information and insights. The views are unique to this area, the rocks and formation interesting, fun, historic and beautiful. You'll ride where once Apache and ancient people lived. You'll see where the US Calvary fought them. You'll see ancient trees that had fallen, and find yourself walking from side to side to take photos or get an "up close" view - though the captain gets you pretty darn close. This is a trip for most ages. I can see where a certain range of children might become bored, but in general, I think most will enjoy it for the boat ride alone. There were several small children on board (under 5) and they had fun, but were moving around a lot. Children are provided life jackets - required to wear. Teens may get bored, unless they like this type of thing. Great for anyone with special needs - they help you, have plenty of great seating, and while you cannot get to the upper deck perhaps, the lower level has wonderful views. For peace, wonderful views, a nice time to talk, to learn about some history of this area, and just to spend time with people you like - maybe even love - the -Dolly is a great idea. Hint: if you want to eat at the restaurant afterwards - there will be a rush, food only average, prices at tourist levels. Better thought - go on to Tortilla Flat or back to Apache Junction. | ||||||

| Perfect weather and a great trip through Canyon Lake. The captain of the boat did a great job narrating alternating with themed music, and you can tell he loves his job and living in Arizona. My only suggestion would be to offer better food options for the snack bar on a cruise that goes from noon to 1:30pm (normally lunchtime). The only food offered would be referred to as "junk food", and people aren't allowed to bring their own food on board. How difficult would it be to also sell some sandwiches, wraps, salads, fresh fruit, etc. from a cooler during the lunch hour? | ||||||

Well Worth the Money Spent

| This was an amazing excursion. The weather was beautiful and the food was so much better than expected! Even though the price seemed high for what was described, spend the money and do it, you won't be disapointed. The mountains and the wildlife, the water, the sky, it was all just amazing! You start out w/ a narrated trip around the lake and the canyon and then as the sun starts to set dinner is served. The food was prepared fresh on site from a grill, so it made everything taste great. The portions were just perfect and made for a nice eveing overall. The staff on the boat was knowledgeable about the area and took great pride in imparting information about the Canyon. All the staff was very accomadating and offered their services for picture taking, carrying food, serving drinks,etc. I would highly recommend the dinner and check the calendar for a full moon. We had one the nite of our excursion and it was an added bonus to see it come up over the mountains and reflect off the water. Just do It!! | ||||||

| Food exceeded expectation. Have previously been on a Dolly cruise, but never the twilight cruise. Everything looked totally different in the evening. Sights outstanding. Looking forward to taking the astronomy cruise. | ||||||

nice cruise

| The cruise was delightful, though maybe we could have had a little less of the music, this is a nature cruise on a mountain lake. They also need to have glaringly obvious signs stating how they will load the passengers. There was a lot of confusion and unneccessary walking up and down a gangplanck for older folks. | ||||||
