Round Island Riverside Park
This operation has clearly nailed the tiki boat experience. Captain Bob comes up again and again in reviews, with guests raving about his friendly personality, local knowledge, and ability to make everyone feel like they're out with an old friend rather than on a tour. The sunset cruises are a major hit, with dolphins and manatees making frequent appearances and plenty of photo opportunities at scenic stops. Beyond the tiki boats, they offer kayak and paddleboard rentals with equipment that reviewers consistently describe as top-notch. The staff across the board gets high marks for being welcoming and helpful, whether you're a first-timer learning to paddleboard or a repeat visitor. The location on the Indian River Lagoon makes for gorgeous views through mangroves and marinas, and the whole operation runs smoothly with easy check-ins and reasonable prices. If you're looking for a laid-back water adventure in Vero Beach, this spot delivers exactly what you'd hope for: good vibes, knowledgeable guides, and memorable wildlife sightings.
We had the best day out on the water on the pontoon boat! It was fun stopping at a few islands and exploring. The staff at Vero Tackle & Watersports is awesome! Highly recommend!
