So many gorgeous cacti & wildlife!

During the hour and a half narrated daytime cruise (the captain is very friendly, entertaining, and informative on the area), you will take in some of the same incredible sights you would experience on a hike or bike ride (although in a much cooler & more comfortable setting). Many cacti including the majestic Saguaro Cactus (the largest in the world & only native to Arizona), gorgeous mountain views, and the occasional wildlife sighting (we were lucky enough to see 2 Bald Eagles) will keep your eyes busy the entire trip.
