We had an amazing time on the Big Kahuna Sunset Dolphin Cruise! John and Alicia were absolutely wonderful. I got lost on the way there, and they patiently guided me by phone until I arrived. Although we didn’t get to see any dolphins, the beautiful sunset and relaxing cruise still made the experience well worth it. Our hosts were friendly, entertaining, and even gave us great recommendations for restaurants and nightlife in and around Panama City Beach for Marshall's Birthday. Their hospitality truly made the evening special. I highly recommend this cruise! Marshall and Claire
Everything was top notch Captain was involved with the crowd Good music great sunset Lots of Dolphins
My group of 7 recently enjoyed the Big Kahuna sunset cruise. There were about 20 guests all together on the boat. On arrival, we were immediately greeted by Captain Dave and deckhand Noah. They welcomed us and assisted us with our items to go in the cooler. They played a great variety of music and kept everyone entertained the whole time. It was the highlight of our trip. A great time was had by all.
It was great! Got to see a lot of dolphins. BYOB was pretty cool and less expensive for sure. Would definitely book again!
The Big Kahuna is an amazing boat that totally changes your image of a pontoon boat. Large bar and seating in the middle of the boat promotes the party atmosphere. Great sound system. Captain John designed this boat to provide a great party environment that easily held our party of 10. This is a must do if you want to get on the water, see some dolphins and experience a sunset.
You will definitely enjoy ur self so chill and peaceful. One of the best experience I've ever had. And the captain was amazing
Captain Dan was awesome. We had a great time.
Captain Dave and deckhand Christian are the best! From the greeting before we even stepped foot on the boat to the farewell as we departed, absolutely top notch. Great value for the price we paid. Captain Dave not only brought the energy and great vibes, he was very knowledgeable about the area and shared many fun facts throughout the cruise. We encountered what could have been some very rough weather, but he got us back just in time to avoid the rain and with Christan’s help, they dock the boat very smoothly despite the strong wind and current. Could not recommend enough!!
Excellent excursion very knowledgeable captain and deckhand. Saw lots of dolphins and a great sunset
You can bring your own drinks in a cooler. Lots of fun! Great memories made! Saw a couple of dolphins.
Captain Dave was amazing service was awesome enjoyed the ride funny and kind person made the ride better than it already was, I recommend going there😊.
For the price it honestly was extremely overated could have gotten the same experience from any other sunset cruise
Lots of fun music. Seen some dolphins and a wonderful sunset. Capt Dave and skipper Aaron kept the vibe rolling the full time.
Excellent ride. Captain John was expert in explaining what to expect and lived up to expectations. Saw many dolphins in multiple pods before other boats. It was my birthday and everyone on board sang "Happy Birthday "! As an added plus there were fireworks scheduled in the Grand Lagoon so, after everyone on board agreed, the trip was extended until the fireworks were over. They were beautiful seen on the water. An unforgettable experience!!!
If you are looking for a boat that is overcrowded, this is it! The music was great…..the capt was great and knowledgeable and the sunset was BEAUTIFUL
We LOVED captain David! He was such a nice guy! We had so much fun!!! DEFINITELY would recommend, and ask for David!!!!
We had an absolute blast w Captain Dave and Aaron! We got moved to the Big Kahuna and it was so great cuz then we had a dance floor! Even the captain was dancing w us!! The 1.5 hours went by so fast! We exchanged numbers w the other couples becoming instant tiki boat friends! We did the normal tiki last year which we loved too but def liked having room to dance and take more pictures better!
Good vibes, easy going , super nice captain and crew, good music and seen a lot of dolphins, really nice cruise
Definitely worth it! We both enjoyed it so much, such a good experience! Beautiful sunset and so many dolphins.
The best experience. Lived the dolphins
We absolutely loved our sunset dolphin cruise with Big Kahuna! 🐬🌅 It was so laid back, peaceful, and relaxing — exactly what we were looking for. Since our son is 23 and we don’t have grandbabies yet, the adults-only cruise was perfect for us! The captain and first mate were both so friendly and made the whole experience even better. We booked through Viator, and they were incredibly helpful throughout the process too! The boat had a full-size bathroom, and they kept us stocked with ice-cold bottled water. You’re also allowed to bring a small cooler or bag with your own drinks and snacks, which was a huge plus. I brought my 7 Brew iced coffee, and my husband brought a few beers to enjoy while we cruised. The dolphins were AMAZING and swam all around our boat like they were showing off just for us. The sunset over the water was absolutely beautiful, and the atmosphere was honestly the best part. Wonderful experience from start to finish, and we will definitely be doing it again and again! 🩷 ✨ Tips for my girlies ✨ Wear your hair up — it gets VERY windy out on the water while cruising 😂🌊 There’s no fancy dress code, so wear whatever you’re comfortable in and maybe something you’d want to snap a cute sunset pic in ☀️📸 You won’t get soaked or anything, but every now and then a little water might splash up on the boat floor, so just keep your purse or bag up on the seat with you. 😊 These were honestly all the little things I was wondering before we went, so hopefully this helps someone else too! 🩷
We had so much fun! Captain John was very good with his music choices and was very nice. We saw so many dolphins! I thought we’d see a couple dolphins but there were a ton of dolphins! I’d highly recommend this sunset cruise, it was the best thing we did in PCB!
Dalton and Christian were great Captains!! We saw a lot of dolphins, it did not disappoint!! We had an awesome time!!
Didn't see dolphins. Felt we were just drifting no set direction. Enjoyed just being on the water, the scenery and experiencing my sea legs.
We had a great time! Captain Dalton and Carly were extremely friendly as soon as we arrived and made us feel welcome before settling in. Captain Dalton pointed out things as we cruised and we were blessed to see dolphins! It was a great experience and we would definitely do more cruises with them.
Great experience, Captain and associates were very knowledgeable about dolphins. We saw endless dolphin pods & many babies. Good music, lighting and vibes.
What an amazing experience!! Went with a group of friends during spring break and it was definitely a highlight of our trip. Captain John was great and we had the best time, 10/10 recommend!!
Had a great time. The crew was great. We saw a lot of dolphins. We would definitely recommend this to anyone going to his area.
Excellent 1.5 hour ride. As promised we were able to see Dolphins and a beautiful sunset, it was worth every penny spent. I would definitely plan to avail Cruisin’s Tiki’s in my next visit to Florida Panamá City.
We saw lots of dolphins. The captain was knowledgeable about the area, and the crew was friendly. Highly recommend this.
Awesome experience. Sunset was stunning and got to see dolphins. Music suited the ride perfectly. Wouldn't change a thing.
We met friends from OK here, we're from NC for a week. Awesome and memorable week. Thank you all for a great experience.
It was amazing. Captain Angie was a blast and very knowledgeable and plays fantastic music! It was so fun. Highly recommend!
We had a very nice time on the tiki boat. We saw dolphins and a beautiful sunset. We thought it was very cool that there was only the two of us and it wasn’t cancelled. The other cool things is that it’s a little more personal since only 6 can be on the boat at a time. There are other Tiki boats going out at the same marina but they over load their boats so much that there’s no room. Lyric was our Captain. He didn’t seem to mind only 2 of us on the boat. He’s worth a good tip.
You will get to see a lot of dolphins, a very pretty sun set highly recommend them, every thing went very well .I will used them the next time
This was a safe & fun trip that me and my mom (87yrs) could do together! She wanted to see the dolphins and we seen plenty! Our captain knew exactly where to take us! She wanted to see the sunset and it was AMAZING going down over the water! We even seen deer on an island!!! The captain and his helpers made it so much fun too with corny jokes to singing & dancing with the colored lights on the brand new boat! The Big Kahuna is the way to go from comfortable bench seating to high top bar chairs & bar table. It’s a boat for everyone to enjoy! Thank You Captain & Staff!
Best decision we made on our whole trip was this! Angie was hilarious with her co captain. Saw loads of dolphins and a beautiful sunset! I would do this again in a heartbeat!
We visited PCB during Fall break. This was a great evening filled with calm waters, beautiful sunsets, and funny jokes. Shout out to Leary for being a great host!
Captain was good. Lot of fun. Great dad jokes and quite knowledgeable. Great experience. 90 minute trip through the lagoon and great pictures of the sunset!
Lyric was the best tiki captain ever! He has the greatest jokes - best hour and a half of my vacation. Sunset was beautiful and fun was had by all.
I loved the sunset at the gulf and Lyric made the experience even better. Really think October is the best month for it, catch a Dolphin like we did and make sure to bring your own alcohol!
Captain John abd Angie were the best. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. We were able to see many dolphins abd even went close to the state park and see a deer.
Captain John and Angie were the best. They took us all around the bay, by Shell Island, along the shore to see a deer at the state park, and into the Gulf explaining everything while having fun on the boat. The best dolphin cruise we have ever been on!
Lyric made the trip fun. We seen deer, dolphins. And an amazing sunset. Thank you for the experience. The boat was a great time.
Lyric was incredible. He was a great host. I recommend him for everyone. This was an incredible trip around the bay. Knowledge and jokes galore.
We really enjoyed this cruise with Captain John and his first mate, Alicia. They made sure we had everything we needed and were knowledgeable about the area. Dolphin sightings and a beautiful sunset made for a lovely evening.
Relaxing and enjoyable experience the crew was very knowledgeable about the area. The Big kahuna was comfortable clean and spacious
This was a Great experience, not a over crowded boat, great crew, so entertaining and fun. We got to see a lot of dolphins, 🐬 it was just so beautiful. I could have stayed out there all day. Would love to try the 3 hour tours they offer also. Staff are so kind and fun. Thanks for great time folks, we loved your new boat.
Cap Lyric was da best host man he played good music and a great person book him asap !! He cool and going to make sure you have the best experience of the water in Panama City Florida
