	Saguaro Lake Desert Belle Paddleboat Cruise on Saguaro Lake

	This is a very pleasant boat trip. It is very relaxing. This is the second time we have taken this trip down the lake. The scenery is very majestic. I would recommend this trip to everyone. However, not for small children. I think they would be bored. The captain was a very personal man, who is very informative and interesting. I enjoyed the restaurant and the ALL YOU CAN EAT Crab Legs afterwards. We had our daughter in from Chicago and she really enjoyed the entire afternoon on the lake. It was nice to have the reservation, and not have to worry about being able to get on the boat once we arrived. We live a little distance from Saguaro Lake. Keep up the good work.

	The ride was very entertaining and informative. The boat was piloted well. It was a beautiful day. We saw a bald eagle perched on top of a rock and several blue herons and turkey vultures at various places along the shore.

	Our family HIGHLY recommends this cruise!! The boat's captain was very knowledgable with respect to the rock formations and wild life. We loved the music that played in the back ground as we circled the lake. We rode on the Desert Belle twice last week (other family members arrived in Phoenix that week and we wanted them to experience the cruise too).

	Been coming to Phoenix yearly for 23 years and never been here before. Coming from Long Island, the sound of the water and the sight of fishermen brought calmness to the day. There was a lovely breeze, and although the seating is folding chairs, there was ample room to make it comfortable. The captain did a nice job describing the sites and local wildlife. I'd do it again.

	The Captain and his wife were a lot of fun to talk to. They were warm, sociable people with down to earth qualities. The cruse was very relaxing and informative and was one of the biggest highlights our friends from Ohio had while visiting with us that week. Thanks so much for the ride. We enjoyed every minute.

	We took out of town visitors on the boat ride. It was lots of fun. Saw a pair of bald eagles and an osprey diving for fish. The boat ride is very casual and very interesting. The tour guide did an excellent job.
	Disappointed Desert Belle Paddleboat Cruise on Saguaro Lake
	Sun, Sep 30, 07 12:30 PM	Aliross	Female	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
	We had cruised before but on the Dolly Steam Boat - we enjoyed it sooo much we wanted to have the same or similar experience on the Desert Belle - well it was disappointing. The route taken was far less spectacular than Dolly, the running commentary of the area, lake, geology etc. etc. was just that "running" - not so on the Desert Belle. On the plus side, the Captain was extremely friendly and his ship was cleaner than the Dolly - having the opportunity of bringing your own snacks on board seemed to be a plus with the other passengers. Just one persons opinion - take it for what it is worth. Thanks
	senic ,relaxing, but could be more informative. Desert Belle Paddleboat Cruise on Saguaro Lake

	We have done this tour three times and always enjoy the trip. There are many beautiful vistas and a lot to see. The only drawback is that each time we have taken the tour it has been less informative each time. Maybe we were spoiled on the first tour but the captain was extremely knowledgeable and very informative. Each time since there has been new captains and they haven't been as well informed. The tour is still worth doing for the sites.
