Thank you captain Kate for a great trip! She made the whole experience amazing. She pointed out dolphins & manatees & even pulled the boat over for us to take pictures & watch them! She was very friendly & gave great tips on what to look for & other things for us to do on our trip! The boat was very spacious & clean, & she also provided us with a speaker for music, a cooler & water!

Itinerary
We will stop and anchor at Lover's Key State Park along Big Carlos Pass in the middle of this half day tour. You can go for a walk along the undisturbed beautiful beaches, swim in the water, or just relax on the boat and enjoy the atmosphere as you watch boats come through the pass. This is a popular place for boaters to anchor along the pass but if you decide to explore you can find quiet sections along the beach that are much more private than some other local beaches.
We will travel through Matanzas harbor where you will see downtown Fort Myers Beach and all the waterfront restaurants. Once we reach Matanzas preserve you will see mangrove trees on your left for the remainder of the cruise down and we will be more likely to see wildlife.

Tiny Tiki Tours was the highlight of our trip! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely perfect. The boat is adorable, super clean, and really comfortable—even better than the pictures! Captain Kate was so knowledgeable, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what she does. She made us feel completely at ease and tailored the charter to exactly what we were looking for. We cruised past dolphins, relaxed at a quiet sandbar, and soaked in the most beautiful Florida sunset I’ve ever seen. The water was crystal clear, and we had the beach almost completely to ourselves. Floating on the lily pad with a drink in hand felt like paradise. If you’re looking for a unique, laid-back, and picture-perfect charter experience—this is it. I would recommend Tiny Tiki Tours 100 times over and can’t wait to book again!
We had a great time out on the water. Kate was very friendly and took us wherever we wanted to go. It was very easy getting on and off the boat and she supplied the cooler and speaker! Can’t wait to go back next time.
Captain Kate was absolutely amazing— very nice and professional! We had so much fun watching dolphins and floating on really pretty beaches!
We had a wonderful time with Captain Kate! She is very knowledgeable and easy to be with. Her experience, skills, and expertise made us feel safe and comfortable. Highly recommend!!!!
Captain Kate was wonderful. She took us to all the key sites and points. We were able to see numerous dolphins swimming, which was really cool. She’s very knowledgeable of the area and I would highly recommend her for a tour.
This was an amazing experience. Experienced captain, incredibly kind and thoughtful. The day was 100% about our group and what we wanted to achieve. I highly recommend!
We arrived early so Kate took us early. She was knowledgeable about the surrounding area and took us to two separate island where we could explore. We had a great day and can’t wait to go again!
Captain Kate can take you, your friends, or family out to see lots of dolphin pods ( we saw babies!), miles of mangroves, and to some more secluded spots to lay out in the sun or go shelling. The Fort Meyers area has been hit hard by hurricanes the past few years so we think it is so important to support small business’ like this one to try and support each other.
Perfect day enjoying fort Myers beach on the water with friends on a girls trip. Great conversation, loved the beaches. Perfect, effortless day with girlfriends.
Why can’t I give this 6 stars! Highlight of the whole trip for me! Captain Kate, don’t ever stop you have a gift. Second time on this and I will be back for a third!
From the moment we met Capt Kate she made the charter all about us. The ride was perfect and she took us to 3 amazing beaches. We saw dolphins while relaxing on the boat. The best part had to be the encounter with a manatee while anchored off at the sandbar. Thank you Captain Kate we will be back.
We had a great time with Captain Kate! We cruised the bay for a short while and then docked at a small island where we could get out of the water to swim or walk along the beach to collect seashells. We were ready for a change of scenery after a short while so we returned to the boat and continued to cruise the bay. We found a pod of dolphins and took lots of photos. We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon on the boat and I highly recommend this excursion! We had lots of questions about the remnants of hurricane and and Captain Kate taught us about the recovery efforts. She also had some interesting information about dolphins so I appreciated getting to learn a little something along the way.
We had the best day with Capt. Kate! First of all, it’s an absolutely gorgeous area to boat and beach and her boat is very comfortable. But even more importantly, Capt.Kate has such an awesome can-do , easy going attitude that our time with her was perfectly catered to our family for the afternoon. We hit some traffic and didn’t have time to stop for food to bring on the boat, and she said “ no problem call this number and this great restaurant will have lunch ready for you and we can dock and grab it!”. And that’s exactly what happened without missing a beat of our tour! The second really special thing that happened was that we really wanted to see dolphins and hadn’t yet and Capt Kate went out of her way to figure out where we might spot some and sure enough in the last 15 minutes of our outing we got to enjoy them ! We even saw a baby💕 She’s also very knowledgeable about the area and we really enjoyed talking with her along the way. Highly recommend!! If you have an opportunity to spend an afternoon with Captain Kate and Tiny tiki tours definitely do it!!
Captain Kate was amazing! Her boat was beautiful and comfortable. We are a family of 5 and had a blast cruising around the back bay and hanging at lovers key. We saw lots of dolphins and a sea turtle! Totally recommend.this tour 100%.
We had an awesome time. Great beach stops and saw some dolphins. Captain Kate was excellent and very knowledgeable. We will do it again for sure
As soon as we walked on the boat she had a welcoming energy. We all felt safe with Capt. Kate. She offered us to use her cooler and speaker which helped make our trip perfect. She also pointed out dolphins, manatees, and other wildlife for us to see. Kate also took us to the beach and a restaurant/bar. Everybody and their mother should book Capt. Kate!
Such a lovely day! Captain Kate was very accommodating to make the trip enjoyable . Beautiful homes, dolphins, beach stop, etc
Captain Kate was great. She made sure we saw dolphins and let us watch them for a while. The boat was awesome. We had a great day at the beach.
Captain Kate helped us have an amazing and relaxing day! She took us to a beautiful sandbar and Lover's Key. She helped us spot dolphins and her boat is beautiful!
Captain Kate was great! We loved the tour and beach stop. We collected a bunch of shells and saw manatees and dolphins! It was really hot, but the shaded boat and wind helped a lot. We’re already planning another trip in November. Hopefully the water clarity and temperature will be better. A must do if you want a fun tour!
Captain Kate was awesome! Weather was beautiful, water was perfect, the beach she took us too was secluded and not busy at all! Perfect day on the water!
Had a blast with Capt. Kate!! First class trip. The boat was clean, and we felt safe throughout the "voyage ". Highly recommend.
We had such a great time and Captain Kate we very knowledgeable! Thank you for the great experience! Will definitely recommend this to everyone!
Guide texted prior to the trip with specific instructions on where to find the boat. Guide was nice and went out of her way to get up close to some dolphins we sighted. Trip was a 10/10!
We saw a lot of dolphin interactions and great new spots around fort myers that we didn’t know about.
It was a nice boat ride. We did go to a pretty beach, but it wasn’t Lovers key. A little bit of information and interaction from the Captain could greatly improve the trip. Since I used to assist with tours in the lower Everglades National park in Key Largo, I know how some local knowledge can make the trip more fun.
Captain Kate was a real gem. Well worth the money. Had a good time. She was friendly , informative, safe , and the boat was clean.
We had an amazing time! Captain Kate was kind, knowledgeable and courteous. She was quick to spot sea life and we were able to see a shark, many dolphins, sting rays and manatee. We loved the turquoise water and white sand beaches of Lovers Key. We highly recommend and will definitely take this trip again.
Captain Kate was incredible. The beach tour was the best thing we did on our trip. At Lovers Key a dolphin was feeding, a manatee swam up all while we were swimming and looking for shells. It was a once in a lifetime experience. She took us to another amazing beach that was just as beautiful as the first. Captain Kate was so welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Our family will definitely go back and enjoy another day with her. I truly can’t describe how wonderful it was.
Captain Kate was fabulous! Had a great time with beautiful sites. I highly recommend. We a conch, starfish and dolphins.
Private island, saw many dolphins and a large group of manatees. Saw many sites around the gulf area. Absolutely beautiful!
Captain Kate was a great host, from spotting dolphins to giving us aviary nesting information. We saw quite a few dolphins that she was able to see before we did! I am not a boat person and I felt very safe and taken care of on our 4 hour tour. I would highly recommend Tiny Tiki Tours. No worries about nautical regulations and other crazy boaters! Thank you very much Kate for a great trip!
Just a small town family of 5 and we had an amazing trip with Capt Kate! Made our trip smooth and took us to some beautiful sites. We Had our own snacks and drinks, while listening to our own music. Our two kids really enjoyed the beach part and looking for shells. Also she recommended us to some seafood restaurants and Dixie’s was what we chose…highly recommended that place before or after a cruise!
Kate is a terrific host for a relaxed and enjoyable day on the water. We are a family of 5 with kids aged 13, 11 and 8. All of us had a wonderful time cruising the bay, stopping at the beach and enjoying a beautiful Florida day. We even saw some dolphins up close and personal. Kate was also kind to bring fishing gear for our young fisherman to try his luck. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to get on the water. Better than renting a boat - Kate is an experienced captain so you can sit back and relax. Enjoy!
Very impressed with Captain Kate!! Our ride was enjoyable and the beach time was great. We would definitely do this excursion again!!!
Captain Kate was wonderful. We enjoyed a beautiful ride and even saw dolphins. She is knowledgeable of the area.
We had a great time boating around Estero Island. Captain Kate was very knowledgable and we enjoyed the dolphins as well as the scenery and the weather was perfect! We had five of us and we all really enjoyed the few hours we had in the water and will definitely return.
Awesome spot at lovers key and beautiful day. Kate was awesome, very knowledgeable and friendly! Will book again
Stopping at beach for two hours was perfect. Bring rafts, we did not but used life jackets. Kate was very pleasant. Half day was perfect amount of time.
The cruise was relaxing. Captain Kate was skilled and we felt safe with her at the wheel. Choosing this small private cruise allowed her to focus on our interests. I would recommend this cruise for smaller groups vs the overcrowded big cruises.
Captain Kate was very knowledgeable about the area and just about anything we ask. The tour was relaxing and interesting. Highly recommend.
This. Tour. Was. Awesome. We saw dolphins and manatees on the way to the beach. The beach was beautiful and only a handful of other people were there. Captain Kate was a great tour guide and so good with the girls and recommendations for us. We would have booked a second trip if she wasn’t already full. This was a huge highlight in our trip and when we come back will definitely book again!!
Wonderful sunny June day out on the pristine waters of FMB.Tiki half day charter worth every penny! Captain Kate took us to Lover’s Key Beach where we collected shells and played in the water and felt silky sand in our toes!
Had the best time with Tiny Tiki Tours! The location of Getaway Marina was easy to access and had free parking. Facilities were clean, too! We especially appreciated that the marina was inland (just before the bridge, connecting Fort Myers to FMB) allowing us to avoid the weekend traffic. Captain Kate was knowledgeable and gracious but let us do our own thing which we loved. We saw plenty of dolphins on our way to Lovers Key, too! The boat was VERY clean and Kate came prepared with water, ice and waterproof speakers. We would absolutely book again, and highly recommend!
Kate is a talented, attentive captain. Two of us went on a 4-hour private tour and had a marvelous time. Thanks to Kate’s eagle eyes, we got to see dolphins, stingrays, and even a sea turtle! We’re looking forward to when we can go on another tour with Tiny Tiki - thank you for a fabulous day out, Kate!
This was the highlight of our vacation! Captain Kate is the ABSOLUTE BEST! She was very informative about attractions along our tour, she was very attentive and stopped to allow us to enjoy the dolphins which was amazing to see! I definitely recommend taking the tour, if we wouldn't have done anything else our whole vacation this absolutely would have been enough!
Captain Kate was fabulous! Very Knowledgeable regarding surroundings and wild life... Would and have recommended this trip.
We got to see some dolphins. The captain was very nice, very knowledgeable, very friendly. Would highly recommend using her for your next outing
Had a beautiful ride through the intercoastal waters. It took us up to lovers key state park and back. Would do it again!
