Desert Belle Paddleboat Cruise on Saguaro Lake

  Recently, I brought 37 people on a day trip to Saguaro Lake. We had lunch at the restaurant and then a cruise of the lake in a small paddleboat. We had a wonderful time. The captain was very informative and the lake is very beautiful. We had been to Lake Saguaro last year with a group of people, and they enjoyed our day so much, that we decided to return this year. Everyone at the marina was very helpful and so courteous. When we started driving to the lake, which was 56 miles from where we started, our trip became very confusing and difficult. While traveling on I87, we encountered detours on I87. We had nine cars full of people. From I87, we had to turn off to Bush Highway to reach the lake. We were detoured north, and could not make the turn to Bush Hwy. Many of us had to travel 20-40 miles or more out of our way in order to return to the turnoff for the lake. The construction was at the intersection that we had to turn off to reach Saguaro Lake. There was no one to guide us or ask for directions, and there was construction at the intersection. It looked like the road was closed. We were detoured north, instead of turning west at the intersection. It was very confusing. We had to wait for a crossover before we could return south to the intersection. When we returned, we had to make a very dangerous manuever in order to reach the road to Saguaro Lake. It was very difficult and we were not informed of these detours in advance, not even by the employees of the Marina. Our last car arrrived 10 minutes before the boat leaves the dock, much to our relief, and so, did not have time to eat. Then, the cash register broke down, and a lot of us were delayed boarding the boat. The captain had to wait for everyone to get their bill and pay by hand. Our captain was delayed, but waited until everyone who had tickets was boarded. Once we were all on the boat, our day was very enjoyable. All in all, time spent on Lake Saguaro was very pleasant. It was the confusion with the detours and cash registers that was upsetting to all of us. Lake Saguaro is a very beautiful and picturesque area.

  I enjoyed the ride and view , Was disappointed that the website did'nt inform us that there were drinks on board and a bathroom on board. These are vital things!!!!! I hauled my own water for a party of 7. Was sligtly board by the time we turned around. I was definetly sick of the I love Arizona song by the time we returned. Must do's: 1.) Update your website to show that drinks and bathrooms are available on board! 2.) Get a variety of at least 7 songs to play during trip. 3.) Go a little faster heading back. 4.) Separate the seats a little more. Older people dont have much padding left on their own seat. You might want to consider padded seats as an upgrade.

  I had been to the Lake before and even rented a float boat with friends but I really enjoyed the local folk lore and history. Arranging for the bald eagles was a good trick. Thanks for the fun.

  The Desert Belle boat trip was the most relaxing trip we've taken on any of the lakes since we have moved to Arizona. The captain gave short yet interesting talks about certain areas, then just let everyone listen to very soft music and enjoy the sights. I would certainly recommend this trip to anyone who would like to see a different side of Arizona and the best part is it is a reasonable fee and it's close to the metropolitan area. I plan on suggesting this trip to our social director so that others in our community can enjoy this trip. Thanks again for a great afternoon.

  The weather was spectacular as it always is here in AZ in October. We were able to see several varieties of waterfowl and birds, including 2 bald eagles. Our guide was very nice, however, when I went on this same trip six months ago the guide spent most of the tour giving an interesting presentation, covering many facts about Arizona weather, flora, fauna. I was somewhat disappointed this time that our guide pointed out the wildlife and gave some information but it was limited. I guess I was spoiled.

  Recently took 4 of my grandchildren ages 2,7,10,12 on the Desert Belle, we had a great time they really enjoyed the ride, weather was great ( oct.) The 2 yr. old was not happy about having to wear a life jacket,but he soon ajusted. I'm having cousins visit from Texas, Calif. and Idaho next week and plan to take them on this boat ride.Very easy drive there,although there is some construction the the beeline (87) so allow a little more time for that.
Rating: 5 The cruise was a relaxing, enjoyable experience.

  We went on the lake cruise for my father's 80th birthday celebration with the whole family. The captain's commentary along the way was interesting and very enjoyable with his sense of humor. He spoke occasionally at the right moments so that conversation could take place between the customers. Everyone was very nice and it was a wonderful day with beautiful scenery and very relaxing. The hour and a half flew by. We would definitely go on this again with friends and family from here and out of town.

  The Desert Belle gives you a chance to see the different wildlife and plants that lives/grows in the area. The captain gives good information about the lake history.

  We all enjoyed the cruise aand truly didn't want to get off. The only thing better would be to drop anchor in an inlet and allow a swim for 30 minutes or so.
Rating: 5 Very nice ride.
