| - Awe your non-Arizonan family and friends with this 90-minute tour of Saguaro Lake where they will see there is actually water in the desert, even if we put it there!! For $20 (adult ticket price), this is a great way to show off our state without a road trip. Part of the tour is through canyons, part of it is open desert. You may also catch a glimpse of our local wildlife. We spotted bald eagles soaring overhead, but bighorn sheep, bobcats, and even mountain lions have also been seen (or so we were told).
Although I've lived in Arizona my entire life (my very short life), I really enjoyed the tour as well. The Captain provided plenty of information regarding the area and the state, but did not talk non-stop, so there was plenty of time to take in the scenery. I even learned a thing or two.
The boat has two levels, the bottom being enclosed and air-conditioned. The top is open, but shaded. There are bathrooms on board and drinks available for purchase. It is also available for private charter, and they are sometimes special events, open to the public, held on board as well. Get to the dock early if you want your choice of seating, as it is not assigned. We thought 15 minutes would be plenty of time, but found they let people board early to get out of the 74 degree blistering sun. And don't forget your camera!
