NO - don't take the chance and just show up! That is what we did and we almost did not make it on! They only had 5 tickets left and I was lucky enough to get two. All the other people had reservations.
The "Senior" price was $21.00 each for the 1/1/2 hour Scenic Nature Cruise. Definitely call ahead! The phone number: 480-827-9144 The Twilight Dinner Cruise is 2 1/2 hours.
