My experience on the Desert Belle Paddleboat Cruise on Saguaro Lake was both peaceful and relaxing. It made me feel very calm and refreshed. |

We surprised my husband with the tickets for the Desert Belle on Father's day. He just loved it. It was relaxing and informative. It was really the most enjoyable part of our day. |

The Desert Belle Paddleboat tour was very nice and offered a lot of beautiful scenery. The captain(s)? were very pleasant. We really enjoyed ourselves and relaxed for the 90 minute trip, something we both needed to do.
Water on board was a reasonable price, they are not out to gouge anyone.
If I was to make a recommendation, it would be two things:
1. Wash the boat off before the trip, the back seating area of the boat on the roof, walls and the sides of the boat showed sign of spider eggs
2. Misters around the top would be an extra nice touch to a very hot day out on the water and it was very hot when we went.
If it wasn't for those two things, I absolutley would give this activity a 5 star rating
Overall, a great trip, I'm looking forward to taking family on when they come to visit.
Thanks for the enjoyable day |

Pleasant trip, spectacular scenery, good narration by crew. Bring camera and binoculars and use both liberally. Sound was a little loud - should have asked crew to decrease volume a little. |

We recently enjoyed a trip on the Desert Belle at Saguaro Lake with our son and grandchildren visiting here from Great Falls, MT. Even though the temperature was HOT, it was comfortable with the help of a slight breeze and overhead cover. We departed and return on time. The information provided was helpful added with some humor too.
The grandchildren ages 9 & 7 enjoyed the trip with no complaints. The only thing that we would find fault in would be that children were provided life vest but no mention of any type of floatation equipment for the adults. Even though most likely nothing would happen, this would seem to be something for the protection of the company, an area you might consider.
Sincerely,
The Miller Family |
