Description

Our reviews say it all -You will be onboard the handcrafted ORIGINAL CRUISIN TIKI with a licensed USCG Captain. No packing you shoulder to shoulder here! Tikis carry 6 passengers each and we have two so we can accommodate your party of up to twelve or view our BIG KAHUNA option for large groups. Cue up your ultimate beach playlist, pop open a drink, and let the tiki vibes flow! This trip will cruise you around the Grand Lagoon area, St. Andrews State Park, where dolphins often swim up and show off, before pulling up near a white sand beach to anchor. You will have plenty of time to enjoy the shallow water soaking up the sun while your captain keeps the music going. Try a little stand up paddling on a YOLO float or snorkel at your leisure. It is BYOB - we provide a cooler, ice, cups/shot glasses, bottle openers, a corkscrew and chilled bottled water. This is also a great alternative when beach rip tides are strong. Everyone can enjoy themselves, we just ask that you drink responsibly.

Love captain Dave !!!!

Me and my boyfriend wanted to experience something laid back but still fun. Captain Dave showed us so many different parts of history, places that should be landmarks and gave us the best insight on other great activities!! We ended up being the only couple on the tiki due to others cancelling. Captain Dave then made sure we felt as free spirited and fun on the adventure as we could !! We even came back that night for a dolphin ride with him !!! I reccomend this even if it’s a family with little, just make sure you go through cruising tikis and get captain Dave!!

3 hour shell island and dolphin tour

Captain John and his deck hand were absolutely amazing! We had the best experience on our 3 hrs tour with friends, family and business associates! They pulled out all the stops for our group of 20 and it was perfect all around! ❤️ We will be booking with them every year for an annual trip. 11/10 experience!

Operator response

Best experience comments always puts a smile on our faces! I'm glad your private charter worked out well for your big group! They are great for any size that just wants the boat to themselves!

Great adventure.

Captain Ron was an excellent host. It was a great experience. We had a leisurely boat ride to Shell Island and then got to play in the water. Took our chances with the paddleboard. The water was beautiful.

Operator response

Yay! We have a new paddle board for our guests to enjoy. SUP! So glad you enjoyed it. Mahalo
