We have been on many lake cruises and short river runs and this rates with the very best. We were extremely fortunate in that our late afternoon cruise carried only two couples. The weather was perfect, and we enjoyed the tour captain's knowledgeable scenic comments of the surrounding area as well as his friendly manner. The cliffs and rock strata were very beautiful as were the interesting beach areas. Fast lake boats and water skiers passed us by adding interest and many additional photo ops to the cruise.
I think that a full load of 75-80 passengers would certainly change the dynamics of the cruise, but its necessity is recognized from an economic standpoint.
Thank you for providing this tourist opportunity at an attractive price. |

Our group consisted of 7yr old, 15yr old, 68, 72. We all thought it was beautiful, kids didn't realize how high mts were and they were interested in the wild life that lived within the lake. Got some wonderful pictures, several we will have framed. I am going again on 4/17 with my Red Hat group. |

We were a party of six people that thoroughly enjoyed the day. Everyone was totally pleased with the trip.
The scenery was wonderful and it was the most informative tour we have experienced. It was a totally delightful day.
The only thing that I could possibly recommend would be to provide the use of a wheelchair. No everyone can do the stairs that easily, and to walk the way around on the ramp is not possible for some, but if there was a wheelchair one could push the person around on the ramp provided. |

It was really great, but you need to sit on the right side of the boat to see anything. |

This was our 4th cruise on the Desert Belle since moving here 3 years ago. Our guests were always delighted and since we went in different seasons, the sights and narration were always varied. The captain was always very informative, humorous and helpful. Our groups included our siblings, children and grandchildren and no one was ever bored or regretted the trip. The cruise is highly recommended! |

A pleasant way to spend a couple of hours , especially if you combine it with lunch at the restaurant . A beautiful desert lake with spectacular views , ideal for families with not too small children . |
|
A "must do" trip for family and friends. |

This was the third time we took the Desert Belle with friends or relatives from the east coast. Our guests were fascinated by the tour and my wife and I enjoy it each time. The captain is knowledgeable, interesting, and humorous. |

Purchasing tickets on line was easy. Boarding was well organized. I loved the fact that the boat is small and not crowded. Lots of picture opputunities. Great commentary from the boat's captain. Low priced CD of pictures of things we couldn't capture on our own camera. My east coast sisters were very impressed. We highly recommended this trip to friends. |
