we made the boat. We got lost and got to the parking lot just as the boat was departing. Just like the website says... NO REFUNDS. I was taking my 2 kids and 2 friends visiting from NJ to see AZ's lakes in all it's awe. Instead I spent hours driving and it costing me lots of wasted time, the cost of the boat tix, an expensive lunch at the restaurant there and $$$ for a pontoon. |

Great Time and well worth the $$! |

My 8 year old son and I decided to do something fun before he went back to school this year. I surprised him on a Paddleboat Cruise with Desert Belle. He really enjoyed it (as did I). The "captain" did a wonderful job narrating and the music that was played during the cruise was very pleasant (not too loud). The captain even had his picture taken with my son afterwards! The scenary was breath-taking and I took some "postcard worthy" pictures with my camera. I'm planning on getting quite a few pictures developed in a larger size and hanging them on my wall!
I would recommend this trip highly! |

My family and I have cruised on the Desert Belle three times in the last few years. Christmas break was our favorite ride; weekday cruises aren't too crowded, the weather is perfect for a light jacket and hot cup of coco, and Saguaro Lake is especially peaceful. We are not boaters, so this is a great way to be able to enjoy the lake. Every time we have enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere; I've never seen an unhappy passenger. The marina restaurant has excellent food and is a fun place to wrap up the day. |

I found this on the internet looking for something to do and thought we would give it a try. We were able to get tickets for the same day and drove just an hour to get there. The scenery was wonderful, some very picturesque. It turned out to be a very informative but calm and relaxing too. We would definitely recommend it and would also do it again ourselves.

Two adults and two boys (3 and 4.5) had a great time. Maybe a little long for the three year old, but he still had a great time. Thanks! |

I and my group enjoyed this excursion immensely. Our narrator was very
knowledgeable about Arizona and pointing out what we were viewing. We
also saw mountain goats which are very rare and we were happy to be
able to see them. The narrator name was Dave and he told us that the
water comes from 4 canyons. He said a good way to remember them is
the word scar. S for Saguaro, C for Canyon, A for Apache and R for Roosevelt.
Dave knew a lot about Saguaro Lake and he will tell you everything that
is cool to see at the lake. I would definitely take this paddelboat cruise again. |

Recommend the cruise either at night or in cooler |

I've taken a few friends on this cruise. I have always enjoyed it, and did so this time. However, I would avoid going in July and August or in 100 plus weather. Even though you are on water, it is quite uncomfortable weatherwise. I will bring another friend in October so I will be ordering tickets again soon.

I had not been on saguaro lake in about 20 years (since I was a teenager). It was a very nice cruise through the lakes canyons and the guide explained the lakes origins and interesting facts. My only complaint was that we visited Arizona in the summer and the cruise is quite hot even in the shade. I had children with me and they enjoyed the cruise as well. I would definitely recommend this activity for all ages. |
