We went out for our son's...
We went out for our son's 21st birthday. Had a blast and Madison made sure everything was perfect! Had a wonderful day out on the sandbar. We were provided with a blow up "island" which was very relaxing. It was a great day and we would definitely recommend to anyone!
Operator response

Awesome experience!!
We had a great time on our tiki boat sandbar charter!! It was a highlight of our trip! We had originally booked a boat excursion with a different company, but they canceled on us the day of. Tiki Boat Adventures was responsive, reasonably price, extremely friendly, and they were able to get us on a boat the next day. We think it was a blessing in disguise because our experience was truly so much fun and I would absolutely recommend it to all groups!!
Operator response

While we are sorry your original plans didn't work out, we are so glad we could get you out on the water for an awesome experience! It was a pleasure having you on our tiki boat, and we truly appreciate you recommending us to others. We hope to see you back on the sandbar again soon!

Wonderful Sandbar Experience!
Our Captain was a joy to hang out with and the sand bar he took us to was perfect. Waist to knee high water level, soft sand for the feet and calm waters. Would totally do it again!

Tiki Boat Ride
Capitan Robert was great, informative, smart and funny guy. Highly recommend booking. Be prepared to get wet if it’s windy. But overall very enjoyable. You don’t see much marine life. Birds and such.
Operator response
Hi Brian H, Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We're thrilled you enjoyed your sandbar trip with Capt. Robert. While marine life sightings can vary, we're glad you enjoyed the birds. We hope to see you back on a Tiki Boat (hopefully on a calmer day) soon!

Totally Tiki! Key West must try!
The Lazy Lady Tiki Boat trip was the most fun I’ve had in years! Captain Brandon and his mate made sure everyone had a wonderful time! They worked hard to get us to a great sandbar despite the windy day! The ride to the sandbar was about 45 minutes but the time flew by with great tunes and gorgeous scenery! This one is a 5out of 5 - would definitely do it again!
