We had a great boat tour of lake Powell to Glen canyon. The staff on the boat were great. Good knowledge of the area and good experience
A lovely relaxing trip to see Navajo Canyon. Great reassuring informative guide, Elaine. While it was 3.5 hours long - a signficant amount of time was spent slowly going thru the channels owing I guess to speed limits. This didnt detract from the tour.
This ride was fabulous. The scenery was magnificent, the narration helpful, the journey relaxing.
The Navajo Canyon Boat Tour is an excellent way to spend an afternoon. Captain Brian was informative and entertaining, and his crewman Kenny was quick to assist passengers as needed. We thoroughly enjoyed the ride and learning about the area.
Great tour. The captain was very knowledgeable and I learned alot.
Checking in was easy and organized. The boat (Lady Bird) has a nice setup with both covered and open areas. They served a delicious, ice-cold lemonade the whole trip. The guide shared interesting facts about the places we passed. The tour took us to several spots around Lake Powell, including a close look at Glen Canyon Dam. It was a really fun experience and definitely worth it!
The Navajo Canyon Boat Tour was one of many exciting adventures we experienced with Sunrise Tours. This late afternoon cruise, with Ursula at the helm, was informative, exciting. Ursula shared an abundance of information in an upbeat humorous manner. Getting from the visitors center to the boat docks was facilitated by trams and golf carts. The cruise was also smooth, making photo shots quite easy. If you are an older person, or have difficulties getting around, this is a cruise that you will enjoy.
Wonderful location and experience. Views are breathtaking and lots of info and entertaining commentary from our fabulous Captain/guide, Ursula.
