DOLLY STEAMBOAT

THINGS TO KNOW: Dolly Steamboat tours on Canyon Lake in Tortilla Flat have been around since 1983, and they just keep getting better and better. This beautiful ship can carry up to 142 passengers and is staffed by a crew of three. Each crew member is vessel emergency training qualified and will leave you feel safe and at peace from beginning to end. They offer several tours, from the Astronomy Dinner cruise to the Desert Bighorn Sheep cruise. They also are available for charters, and will gladly be the setting for your wedding, private party or corporate event.

DON’T MISS: Bighorn sheep are often spotted on these cruises, and your painstaking guides will backtrack if needed so that everyone can get a better look. Take some binoculars to catch the full majesty of the wildlife and views. The trip is fully narrated, and the captain’s comments will leave you both entertained and informed. They offer gift certificates for adults and children, and infants get in for free. A snack bar is available on board with snacks, soda and other beverages.
