A beautiful, relaxing, informative fun tour
Fri, Dec 21, 07   12:30 PM btodd07 Female 50-59 Combination Family With Children
I'm here on a temporary job assignment from NJ, by way of NC. As a child, my family lived in El Paso and Las Cruces, so the western terrain was no big surprise for me but I so I was thrilled when my daughter, a nurse, who still lives in NC came to visit for a couple of days. She had never been west of the Mississippi River. Since we both enjoy being outside and the weather seems to be beautiful here most of the time, when we saw the Desert Belle Paddleboat cruise advertised, we knew it was something we had to do. The weather that day was perfect. The sky was "Carolina Blue" with a few lofty clouds. Captain Forsberg was a delight, professional and entertaining. He pointed out wildlife and plants as we glided through the canyon walls. He directed our attention to several eagles perched on the walls of the canyon and Blue herons and their nesting areas. He identified and described the water fowl we saw as we went along. A black hawk flew right in front of us. My daughter and I were intrigued by the different looking plants growing here in Arizona. It amazed us to see so many plants with "sharp" edges yet they have such beautiful flowers and help support the wildlife here. There were several other boats also enjoying the lake. The Captain kindly answered our questions and patiently gave us the opportunity to take pictures. The Desert Belle was comfortable and allowed for great visibility. This cruise is a great way to spend a couple of hours at a beautiful lake. The restaurant offered good food and a great view while waiting for the cruise.

Excellent Boat Ride

I really enjoyed the Desert Belle Paddleboat Cruise on Saguaro Lake. I was in town visiting my boyfriend and wanted to do something nice, scenic and relaxing. So I did some research and came across tthe Desert Bell Cruise. It was amazing, beautiful, and very peacefull. I also like the description of the place that was given by the tour guide. We went in early-mid December, the weather was a little cool but still made for an enjoyable trip. There was also not a lot of people on the boat ( total of 6) likely because of the cool weather and it is a little too early for the tourist season. The view again was amazing. And the price not that bad. Highly recommend it. There is also a nice little restaurant, not fancy, but the food is great. It is also at Saguaro Lake Marina. Right next to where we had to board the boat.

A wonderful way to enjoy the beauties of our state
Tue, Nov 27, 07   2:30 PM IrisEpstein2 Female 50-59 Local Family Without Children
The cruise on the Desert Belle was the highlight of my brother and sister-in-laws' visit to Arizona. This is a perfect activity for someone with limited mobility to enjoy the beauty of our state. The boat cruised 5 miles up a very picturesque canyon accompanied by an excellent narration. We spotted mule deer, blue herons, and well as several bald eagles. We had an excellent lunch overlooking the lake right next to the boat. This was extremely relaxing and informative. I would highly recommend it.

The boat ride was very relaxing and educational as well. My family is new to the area so it gave some great insight to the desert plant life and wildlife. I would recommend it to all ages my four year old had a great time also. Jeff

Relaxing and enjoyable x10

This was the most relaxing 90 minutes of time I have spent in months! My husband and I took our two best friends who were in town from Missouri and they enjoyed it even more than the Lake of the Ozarks. They want to go again next time they come and take the kids. The narration was amusing and informative. The scenery beautiful. I will go again in the spring!

It was relaxing but I believe would need a little more to attract families with young children. It was fine for our older group.

My grown boys and I were on a short holiday and had never visited this area before. We have been "WOWED" by Arizona in general. The Desert Belle was the just one of the highlights of the vacation. It proved to be a relaxing yet exciting way to veiw the beauty of the area with a built in tour guide at your disposal. I'll do it again when I come back.

It was a nice get-away to spend time with our grand kids from Illinois and give them a flavor of the surrounding features of Phoenix. - An afternoon well spent!
