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.

We left promptly at 6:30 PM four our narrated tour and dinner. The weather and temps could not have been better. We toured the lake, saw fossils on the Canyon Walls I didn't know existed, saw Big horn sheep and beautiful scenery. 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.

My tips when visiting saguaro lake:…read more - Arrive early if you're planning to rent a boat or kayak, especially on weekends. The marina can get crowded and boats are in high demand. - Bring plenty of water! Arizona heat can be brutal, even in the fall and spring. Make sure to stay hydrated, especially if you're hiking or spending time on the water. - If you're visiting for the first time, be sure to take a boat tour to get a unique perspective of the area. - Watch out for wildlife . You might spot herons, eagles, and even bighorn sheep along the trails, so keep an eye out! Plan your visit during the off-season (fall or spring) to avoid the summer heat and the crowds.

Had a blast out on Saguaro Lake! Thanks to Captain Mike! His boating skills, his teaching skills,…read morehis kindness, and humor were superb! We will be out boating again with Mike for sure! His boat was very comfortable for our group of 11. Super nice boat! The boat has a built in cooler. So no need to take more then one regular sized cooler on board. The speakers all around worked perfect for us. Mike allowed us to play our own tunes. This boating experience is great for anyone! Being pulled on the tube was a blast! The coolest part was how Mike was such a positive encourager. Mike got almost all of our friends out on the water to wake surf for our first time. It was bad ass! We are all so thankful for the fun time we got to have out there! Can't wait to do it again! Thanks Captain Mike!

The prices are super reasonable and the product is top quality. All of the kayaks I have used from them are in great condition and easy to use. They supply you with everything you need: paddles, life vests, maps, and even help you load the boats onto your vehicle. I was able to pick up two kayaks today in my sedan with no roof rack and get out on the lake for a beautiful afternoon. The owner helped us pick out where to go and gave us some tips. Lower Salt allowed me to change my reservation because I was nervous about weather and even though they were short on staff they made sure someone was there on the day of pickup to help load my boats up and get us on the lake. Everyone I've worked with there has been friendly, informative and helpful. I will continue to rent my kayaks from them whenever I want to get out on the lakes or the Salt. I can't recommend them enough!

Special mention from my daughters to the kind lady in the store who sells the ice cream--she made their visits even more enjoyable! The staff truly makes a difference. We look forward to our time at the lake not just for the boating, but also for the great people here. Highly recommend!

The conversation wasn't forced, he chatted but also recognized when I just wanted to focus on fishing.

I will definitely be going again with Larry when he calls up for stripers. If you're new to fishing or are apprehensive, you're in good hands with Larry. He's a great teacher! His Nitro Z21 XL Pro isn't to shabby either! LOL!
