peaceful and beautiful ride we enjoyed it! And the captain was very nice.
It was amazing. We had a blast. It was just 3 of us on the boat. The capacity is 6. We brought our own adult beverages as it was BYOB. Our captain was Kai. A very friendly young man. He was able to tell us stuff about our surroundings. My brother lives here and he had never done this excursion. The description said you could possibly see dolphins and we did. We also saw a big turtle. I highly recommend this Tiki Boat cruise!
Captain Kai provides a warm relaxing atmosphere and great experience . Would highly recommend….
Great Experience!! So much fun and the Captain was knowledgeable and a vide. It love this experience for a bachelorette party, we were able to play our own music and had so much fun!!
Relaxing and enjoyable experience. Host engaging and personalable
I booked this for my sister’s birthday. We all had an amazing time! Ryan was a great captain! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to book a tiki boat in the area :)
It was amazing. The captain of the boat was the best. Ryan took his time to explain everything to us and maybe experience very memorable. I would definitely do it again.
The boat ride was very relaxing and enjoyable. The surrounding area is very scenic. My only suggestion is that the captain provide a description of the history and landmarks. He did neither.
We had a great time. I would definitely recommend this activity if you are in the area. Captain and Calypso are wonderful hosts with a lot of knowledge and interesting facts of the island.
Nothing like a floating tiki bar! Captain Ryan and his First Mate Calypso the dog were excellent. Great outing for you and your 5 best friends.
We had a great , relaxing, and memorable time! Captain Ryan was the best! He was very responsive but also let us have our own conversation! We loved it!
Ryan and Caly were such a vibe. Perfect what we were looking for! Would recommend if live here or visiting.
Relaxing, saw a dolphin and pelicans everywhere.
We had a wonderful time cruising around the intercoastal looking at birds and dolphins. Our guide was laid back, answered our questions about the area, and did a wonderful job maneuvering around the other water craft. We brought our own food and drinks and had an easy time sharing and spreading everything out along the bar. It was a fun and pleasant way to enjoy the water.
Very easy going and quiet sailing on Amelia island water ways. Recommended for families and friends .
This trip was so much fun! My best friend and I had a great time and Captain Jeff was the best!! We were lucky and had several dolphins right by us. I highly recommend this trip; so much so that I advised the personnel at the Omni Amelia Island resort that they should tell other guests about it.
We did this as part of my sister's bacheloretter. Super fun and the host was really nice! very much enjoyed floating and hanging out- very pleasant!
Knowledgeable, personable captain Jeff. Thoroughly every minute! Great to see all the wildlife from the dolphins to birds.
We were on a bachelor bachelorette party and were I messaged the weather was bad and we would be offered a refund or an option to reschedule. However I chose rescheduling as we left Sunday and I have yet to get a call or text regarding the refund. My card was charged upon scheduling and I’d just be shot with an email back to know the status. As I messaged them multiple times between Thursday and the hour before the float trip and they cancelled due to weather and then it never even rained which I know Florida weather sucks but this is unacceptable for 409 bucks
We had the pleasure of cruising with Captain Ryan and his first mate, Calypso (a very cute and well behaved dog). The ride was nice and smooth and Ryan was very personable and knowledgeable. Just as we were leaving the dock a huge cloud appeared which blocked the sunset for the most part, but instead we were treated to a lightning show on the far away bank of the river. We also saw dolphins which was a real treat! A very relaxing time with great tunes provided by our captain!
This is so much fun. It’s like your own personal cruise. The boat was very well built handled waves easily and was completely stable. If you are looking for an evening cruise while visiting the island this is clearly the best option. Your other options on the island are large commercial vessels with 30 other strangers. The pirate ship is cool, but it is nothing compared to the experience you get on this excursion. Play your own music, drink your own drinks, and be with friends and family.
This is a great laid back cruise. Nice to bring a drink on board very relaxing. The captain was fun and informative. Definitely recommend it.
The Tiki Boat Cruise was a great experience. It was only my only two of us on the tour, it felt like private cruise. Jeremy our captain was very friendly and engaging. We were able to pipe in our own music, we made it a Caribbean/Tropical experience. Our captain had a keen eye for the dolphins, and was quick to point them out playing. It was a wonderfully spent hour and a half.
This was an amazing experience. My husband and I were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary. Captain Eric, the owner and operator, made the trip truly special. He was kind, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about the area. The Tiki boat was comfortable and very relaxing. The boat was well maintained and charming. It was a fun outing, and I highly recommend the Tiki boat ride. Thank you, Captain Eric, for such a memorable trip.
My wife and I with our boys were traveling up the East Coast and we stopped in Amelia Island for a visit. We love being on the water and seeing places from that vantage point, so we took a late afternoon ride out with Capt. Ryan. It was a gorgeous, cool night and we got such a nice view of Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach as the sun was setting. We saw TONS of dolphins swimming around and a few of them followed up as we cruised along. We were hungry, so we brought our own food and drinks aboard, which was no problem at all and worked quite well given the seating and bar surface to eat/drink. It was such an easy and relaxing time and our boys absolutely loved it. My wife and I were happy to get off the road and enjoy a couple adult beverages too while we took in the scenery! If you're in the area, a fan of the water and want to try something new and fun, I highly recommend this memorable trip! I think they offer trips at different times, which makes it super convenient and easy to create the experience you're looking for. Whether as a couple, family or group, this is such a cool addition to any trip! PS - thanks for being so good and patient with the kids...that meant a lot to us!
The Captian was super charismatic, the setting was incredible, and the boat is adorable. It’s such a unique experience and so romantic! 🥰
