This tiki boat experience consistently delivers memorable outings on the water, with guests raving about trips to Crab Island and sunset cruises through Destin's waterways. The captains are clearly the heart of this operation—names like Cameron, Captain Al, Jakob, Ryan, and Captain Kirk come up repeatedly for their knowledge, personality, and ability to make everyone feel comfortable and entertained. Several reviewers mention dolphin sightings and beautiful sunset views, while others appreciated thoughtful touches like the onboard bathroom and option to bring your own beverages (no glass). Multiple proposals happened on these tours, which speaks to the romantic, peaceful atmosphere they create. What really stands out is how the captains blend professionalism with a friendly, laid-back vibe that makes them feel like part of your group rather than just a guide. The boats themselves get praise for being clean and well-maintained, and the whole experience seems to exceed expectations even for those who've been looking forward to it for a while. This is the kind of activity that works equally well for bachelorette parties, romantic occasions, or family outings, and guests consistently mention planning to return on their next Destin visit.

What people are saying

The tiki water ride was amazing! Captain Kirk (his real name) is very personable and shared wonderful information during the tour. The sunset tour is the best. And there is a restroom onboard. You can also bring your alcohol choice but no glass. Very glad my husband and I took this tour.
