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. |

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. |

Enjoyable activity! |

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 |
