Captain Eric’s Tiki Boat

5.00Tiki boat tour with Captain Eric was lots of fun for 3 sisters, 1 brother-in-law and 1 11 year old grandson. Captain Eric was very informative about the lagoon and searched for a good spot to see dolphins. We saw several bottle nosed dolphins and then began to tour around the shoreline to see all of the multi- million dollar homes. Captain Eric then allowed my grandson to take the helm around the coves. (Grandson did a great job, by the way!) Next, Captain Eric motored over to a spot where we saw a manatee, previously injured by boat propellers. It was sad to dock and end this boat tour that we all thoroughly enjoyed. We highly recommend this tour with Captain Eric!

5.00After living in Vero Beach for 3 years I finally booked the Tiki Boat Tour. Caption Eric was amazing!!! He took the time to show us all the beautiful homes, he found us dolphins and was very patient with us to take as many pictures as we wanted. He also gave us a lot of knowledgeable information about mangroves, the different birds and clams and many other things. I would highly recommend doing a boat tour to see the Indian River lagoon.
Family Friendly and Affordable

5.00We did the guided boat tour and kayaking with our young children (5 and 8). Affordable and fun! Captain was nice enough to let the kids “drive” the boat. We saw lots of birds and a pod of dolphins. No manatees, but we did look hard. Would recommend to all.
Pontoon boat ride with puppy on board

5.00We really appreciated the care given to us by Shane, our tour guide. My husband has difficulty walking and Shane helped him from the parking lot to on board the pontoon boat. Since we are locals, Shane didn't have to give his history of Vero speech but gave his attention to spotting manatees and dolphins and pointing out spots of interest to us. The trip was certainly a fun morning adventure for all 3 of us (mini dachshund Gunther included).

5.00We have lived here for the past two years and have always wanted to go on a boat tour. Friends had come to visit and we finally decided to book a boat trip. We are so happy we did! Our Captain Eric was so friendly, professional and knowledgeable of the eco system and gave us a wonderful tour. It was the perfect amount of time as we had brought drinks and snacks on board and there is no head. So it is a good idea to stop in the tackle shop before you depart. I highly recommend this company and Captain Eric!
