5.00Our captain was very knowledgeable and shared details about what we were seeing. He helped another traveler on our cruise find a store to pick up a necessity. Really nice ride and a good time. I would do it again and definitely recommend it.

4.00There are no actual signs for the Tiki Boat dock so unless you are familiar with the area you won't know where to go. The ride itself was nice. Although a solid two hours would have been better than the 1.5 hours. It was a super windy and cold day so the experience was not the greatest, but no fault besides mother nature.
Valentine’s Day tiki cruise!

5.00Our captain was great! He told us the history of Tampa and was very enthusiastic about it! You can tell he loves his job! Valentine's day weather was perfect! The Captain provided all the ladies with a small bunch of beautiful mini roses! What a beautiful touch! I would highly recommend this boat ride! Worth every penny!

5.00The Tiki tour in Tampa was so much fun! The area is great, having a few drinks while enjoying the ride was fantastic.. but the greatest was Captain David who made the tour so light-hearted and fun. Highly recommend!
Lovely way to experience Tampa
