FliFoil Review -- Fun Activity, Extremely Unprofessional and Uncomfortable Experience…read more The e-foil itself was a lot of fun once I finally got on it, but everything leading up to it was one of the most unprofessional experiences I have ever had with a business. This lesson was originally a birthday gift back in early July, but it was rescheduled four times, and I wasn't able to complete it until more than six weeks after my birthday. After the company canceled on me for the second time, Amber offered to make the rescheduled lesson complimentary and allow me to bring a friend. I accepted that offer and scheduled the lesson for a third time on August 15. August 15 was supposed to be the final date, but only one board was available. Amber told me that two boards would be available on August 22, so I agreed to move the lesson again specifically so my friend and I could both participate. However, when August 22 arrived, only one board was provided anyway. The night before the lesson, I learned without prior warning that Amber would not be taking me out and that I would instead be meeting someone named Jackie. Jackie was very difficult to reach by text, so I had to call her at approximately 10 p.m. just to confirm that the lesson was actually happening. During that call, she asked for my name. When I told her it was D'mitri, she responded, "D'mitri is short for dummy, right?" She appeared to intend it as a joke and later apologized, but I still found it insulting and nearly canceled. Because this was still supposed to be my birthday present, I decided to give the experience a chance. The following morning, I met Jackie at the lake. Once we reached the dock, she told me the e-foil battery was dead and needed to be switched. She returned to her vehicle, leaving me on a paddleboard with friends of hers whom I had never met. They appeared to be drinking at 10 a.m. and repeatedly asked me intrusive sexual questions about the size of my penis. I was extremely uncomfortable and stuck waiting with strangers in the heat. Although the parking lot was only about five minutes away, Jackie did not return for approximately an hour. By that point, I wanted to call Amber and cancel the entire lesson. Jackie called Amber herself about the battery issue but did not communicate that I wanted to cancel. Throughout the morning, Jackie repeatedly asked me not to write a bad review. She also said that if the e-foil did not work, the day would not have to count as my lesson and I could instead hang out on a boat with her friends or try a jet ski. I told her that if the e-foil did not turn on soon, I was leaving. The e-foil finally started after I had spent more than an hour waiting in the hot sun. The e-foiling itself was genuinely fun, and I appreciate that Amber honored her offer to make the lesson complimentary. However, that does not outweigh the repeated rescheduling, failure to provide the two promised boards, poor communication, inappropriate remark about my name, sexual questions from strangers who appeared to be drinking, equipment failure, and repeated pressure not to leave a negative review. What was supposed to be a special birthday experience became stressful, uncomfortable, and extremely unprofessional. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend renting from or booking a lesson with this business.

We went on the 9am brunch cruise. This was Buffett style service that went pretty smooth. The eggs…read morewere amazing, potatoes were perfect, and the ham is as good as any ham can get. There is a small bar downstairs where we got a couple of mimosas. The cruise around the lake is peaceful and there is a lot to look at. About the parking, if you are a first responder or veteran, it's a no hassle situation to park for free. I just showed my badge as we pulled up and they waved us through. Overall, I'm glad I brought the family.

Choose between a sightseeing cruise, live music brews cruise, sunset dinner cruise, or live music sunset cruises. The cruises run Wednesday thru Sunday in May. I took my mom for a mother/daughter adventure on a Wednesday afternoon sightseeing cruise. You'll park at Pleasant Harbor and hop a ride down the docks on a shuttle cart (bring some cash for tips). We arrived early to enjoy lunch and drinks at Dillon's before our 2pm cruise. Check in 30 minutes prior and then set off for 90 minutes on the water. Adults are $30, kids $15, toddlers free. On the boat, you can sit inside on the main level or up top and outside. Grab some snacks and a beverage from the bar to really luxuriate. The captain narrates the cruise and gives great information about the lake, the dam, and the wildlife. As for wildlife, we saw a few bird species and wild burros on shore. It was such a peaceful afternoon and a great time together. Follow @msbusyblonde on insta for more Fun

The musician was great, the staff was friendly and funny, and the scenery was lovely. We live in Arizona and are familiar with the flora and fauna of the Sonoran Desert, and it was such as pleasure to see bighorn sheep, herons, eagles, and more on a single sunset cruise. Great way to explore Saguaro Lake!

This place is a hidden gem. We stayed in their floating cabin. Absolutely one of our best getaways…read more The cabin had two bedrooms and a loft. Easily sleeps 8 comfortably. There is a restaurant in the marina. Food was delicious. All the staff we encountered were very nice and hospitable. Rented boats, kayaks and water toys. Very easy to do. This place is very pet friendly. We brought our black lab with us. If you can snag one of these 5 cabins you will not be disappointed. We can't wait to come back. Note: the cabins are actually floating on the water. If you are prone to motion sickness be aware.

My friend and I had such a great time on the Dolly Steamboat! Even though it's hot in the desert,…read morethere was a nice breeze out on the lake that made the ride incredibly comfortable while we were outside. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous, and the whole experience felt so peaceful. The crew was friendly, welcoming, and made the experience even more enjoyable. I loved it so much that I'm already planning to bring my mom and aunts when they visit in September. If you have binoculars, definitely bring them! You'll be able to spot the bighorn sheep along the cliffs better! After the cruise, I'd recommend grabbing lunch at the Tortilla Flat Saloon and taking a drive along the Apache Trail. Just know that part of the trail is unpaved with switchbacks and steep grades, so take your time and make sure you're comfortable driving those kinds of roads. It's a really unique experience with incredible views, and you'll eventually end up at the Roosevelt Dam. It was the perfect Arizona day and a wonderful way to experience the beauty, and history, of the desert.

The food was really good with smoke portions, Dr. Sky finished the evening with a discussion on the Blue Moon, Venus, Jupiter and the elusive Space Station. A very enjoyable trip snd memories. I highly recommend this for a family, romantic evening or just an evening out.
