We rented the entire boat for 3 hrs. About $80 a person, 6 people and 1 captain. It was a nice ride to shell island area where we were able to get off the boat and get in the water and walked along the beach. It was a great day,
We were paired with a bachelorette party. They were entertain. The captain and his wife were amazing. Fun. Overall great time
We had Captain Leah!!! She was super sweet & helpful! Made the most out of our time! 10/10 would recommend :)
It was an excellent ride great music and the vibes were fantastic 10/10 would recommend this trip made my day so much better
We went on the Tiki Cruise with a group of 9 girls for a bachelorette trip, and we had the BEST time! Everything about the experience was so much fun—from the ride to the sandbar and snorkeling to the music, drinks, and overall atmosphere. We even got to see dolphins, which made the day even more unforgettable! Our guides, Jaya and Jaiden, were absolutely wonderful! They kept the vibes high, were so kind and attentive, and made the experience even more enjoyable. We truly could not have asked for better guides! 100/10 experience! We will definitely be back and book again! Highly recommend for a fun girls’ trip or just a trip in general 💕🍹🐬
Captain Dave was so much fun and entertaining! Family time listening to music and chillin at the sandbar. Saw fascinating sea life and a seahorse and hermit crabs that we named Jeff.
Me and my boyfriend wanted to experience something laid back but still fun. Captain Dave showed us so many different parts of history, places that should be landmarks and gave us the best insight on other great activities!! We ended up being the only couple on the tiki due to others cancelling. Captain Dave then made sure we felt as free spirited and fun on the adventure as we could !! We even came back that night for a dolphin ride with him !!! I reccomend this even if it’s a family with little, just make sure you go through cruising tikis and get captain Dave!!
It was beautiful weather and amazing captain and deckhand .. work so good with our ASD child very kind and compassionate.
It was super fun. The captain and crew were amazing. Would highly recommend! Definitely worth the experience.
Best experience! Would highly recommend!
Captain John and his deck hand were absolutely amazing! We had the best experience on our 3 hrs tour with friends, family and business associates! They pulled out all the stops for our group of 20 and it was perfect all around! ❤️ We will be booking with them every year for an annual trip. 11/10 experience!
Captain Dave was friendly and fun. Good information and knowledgeable about the area. Made sure everyone had fun while being safe.
Captain Ron was an excellent host. It was a great experience. We had a leisurely boat ride to Shell Island and then got to play in the water. Took our chances with the paddleboard. The water was beautiful.
We saw so many dolphins!! Great experience all together. Our Captain was informative and made the trip enjoyable.
It was a great time our captain, Robert was very friendly, experienced and knowledgeable about the area and wild life
Very fun! Had a great time! Captain and crew were very nice and accommodating. It was also a great plus to have a restroom available on the boat.
We were kinda hesitant at first, but totally glad we went on this cruise. Our Captain Robert was AMAZING! We had so much fun and will definitely be doing this again!
Captain Dalton was great—he was nice and very knowledgeable about the different types of shells and sea creatures we saw. He helped us find a horseshoe crab and many hermit crabs. We even saw dolphins! We swam and snorkeled at St. Andrew’s State Park beach. The inflatable paddle board was fun to play on. The tiki boat had a very beachy aesthetic and had extra snorkel gear. Our Captain took pictures of our group and made the whole experience very fun. We would definitely go again!
We had so much fun on this trip! Our captains Dalton and Larry were incredible. They entertained and made sure that our trip was everything we wanted it to be. We were never short of music, games, drinks and a good time! Thank you both!
It was fantastic and different from the everyday boat ride! Thankful for our wonderful Captain Robert.
We had an unforgettable experience on the tiki bar boat with Captain Robert! From start to finish, he did an amazing job making sure everyone was comfortable, having fun, and truly enjoying the vibe. His energy was great, and he knew exactly how to set the tone for a perfect day on the water. What really stood out was how he captured so many memorable moments for us. He didn’t just drive the boat—he made the whole experience feel special and personal. Every laugh, every toast, every scenic view was documented in a way we’ll be able to look back on and cherish. If you’re looking for a fun, relaxing, and memorable time, I highly recommend booking with Captain Robert. You won’t be disappointed! 🌊🍹
Lyric was an awesome! As a self proclaimed comedian he kept the jokes coming. He anchored us on a secluded pristine beach where we were able to swim & snorkel. He even flagged down an ice cream boat for us!!!
Edward was GREAT!! So helpful and made the most out of our trip! The boat was cool & had all the things (snorkel, ice & cooler, speaker that you can Bluetooth to.) 10/10 recommend! Boat with Edward. 😊
Our group had the BEST time! We were there for a bachelor/bachelorette trip and decided to do the 3 hour snorkel/ beach cruise. Everyone had so much fun! Captain John and Captain Angie were absolutely amazing and so knowledgeable! Next time I’m in Panama City I will definitely be booking again! Thanks for an amazing time!
It was a great experience. We really wanted to see shell island but could not get there that day. We stopped on a sand bar and hung out. It was fun. Lyric was our captain and we had a great experience with him as well.
We had a great time with captain Lyric. Good music and even got to swim with a dolphin! Wish we could have stayed longer. Would highly recommend.
We had an awesome afternoon cruise with captain Lyric. He is a great DJ too and played great music!! What a wonderful time. He’s got great jokes and really entertained the group! If you go to PCB you have to go on a Tiki cruise with captain Lyric!
Super fun experience! Captain Steven and his wife were very sweet and informative, A+ hosts. My husband & I started out with a family of 4 (2 of them children) on our tiki. Unfortunately we had nothing in common with this family. We floated next to another tiki with Captain David and a group of 3 fun individuals closer to our age, with similar interests. We hung out with them at the beach and asked to transfer to their tiki. The Captains were happy to oblige and even helped us move our belongings to the new tiki! Captain David was awesome as well, and the group of 3 were much more our speed. We had a blast! We met some great friends that day & had so much fun on the tikis with Captain David & group! Will definitely do this tour again!
Great day with Captain Edward cruisin over to shell island in the most unique floating tiki bar. Edward was entertaining and knowledgeable on the local sea life. Several dolphins came to check us out, had refreshing swim looking for shells and held a sea urchin…
Captain David made this trip a BLAST! Super fun time — the tiki boat was the highlight of our Labor Day weekend!
For our girls trip, this was great time! We had a blast and Captain D (Dalton) is an absolute must to have if hes available, snatch him up!! He made us feel safe, made sure we found the dolphins and was so fun to hang out with. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best day! The owner was great about answering all our questions while booking and all around recommended from us. Thank you so much, until next time 😎
We had such a great experience with Capt Angie Folger! She was so knowledgeable of the area and had an amazing attitude. I would definitely recommend this experience with any couples traveling to the Panama City area. 10/10!!
Had the BEST time on our tiki cruise. We laughed, we danced, we made new friends (who we continued to hang out with after the trip was over), and a surprise engagement!! We will definitely be booking again!
My husband and I traveled to Panama City beach for a week and I booked this trip a few weeks in advance. Let me tell you, capt David is the life of the party. Even though it was just my husband and I and it stormed on us, we had such a great time. Whether you have something to celebrate or you just want to get out, this trip is for you! We took our beer (and Tito’s) and had a great time! The music was good and the company was too! Would book again and request David 100%!
We had the most amazing trip! Edward was such a great captain! We were fortunate enough to see several dolphins. We also found sand dollars, floated in the beautiful water, and just enjoyed cruisin in the cute little tiki. I highly recommend it!
Captain Ed was fantastic!! Saw so many cool things. I highly recommend for family or adult trip. I could have stayed out longer honestly my favorite part of my trip!!
Edward was an awesome captain.. highly recommend!! Very attentive to all our needs! Very accommodating! Great host!!
It was an amazing trip, and my daughter and I had a fantastic time. Captain Edward was very engaging with everyone on the cruise and was incredibly polite. We’ll definitely be using Cruisin' Tiki's again the next time we're in town.
The tour was so worth it! Captain Dave made the trip fun. The owner went out of her way to answer a few questions before I booked and made it easy for us. It was great to be able to take our own cocktails. We swam, collected shells, danced, sang to the music all while floating and anchoring around in the cove. The group was very happy and really truly enjoyed our time on the boat.
You go maybe 20 feet deep at the most, and end up at a sandbar that is about waist deep. You don’t get great views with the snorkeling, but the guide helped us find critters and sand dollars!
This tiki cruise was an awesome experience. The views and ride were great! The entire trip would not have been the same without Captain Dave! He made the trip worth it! If you’re looking to go you need to ask for Captain Dave!! He was AWESOME!!!
captain dave was very enjoyable, would recommend time and time again! it was something different we haven’t done before in all the times we’ve vacationed in PCB, but we did not leave disappointed! fun was had by all!
The trip was very relaxing and enjoyable. Capt. David made us very comfortable and throughout the trip we talked about nostalgia TV, music, and Indian cooking. Both my wife and I had a great time and would strongly recommend this unique experience to people visiting Panama City.
The cruise was amazing with Capt John! The music, smiles, ride, and swimming at Shell Island was an incredible time! If you're thinking about it - just go ahead and book it. You wont be disappointed!
Had a great time! Captain Dave was absolutely amazing! Ask for him! Definitely would recommend! Guaranteed fun time!!!
What a great experience! Captain John was knowledgeable, friendly and fun. If you’re looking for a day on the water - this cruise is for you!
Even though our tiki boat cruise got cut short by rain, Captain Dalton made the whole experience worth it. He was upbeat, friendly, and kept the energy fun even when the weather didn’t cooperate. You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure we had a good time. The company was also super accommodating and easy to work with — no stress at all. We’ve done this cruise before and will absolutely be back again (hopefully with sunnier skies next time)! Highly recommend Captain Dalton — rain or shine, he’s a good time.
AMAZING 👏 10 out of 10 definitely recommend!! If your looking for something fun to do this is it The crew is accommodating. The boat ride is so fun and the sandy beach is is on point! Thanks for the experience. Yall rock!!
We had the best time! Literally the kindest captain and his wife Alicia they kept us safe in the water and told us good places to get dinner. We had the best time and we honestly can’t wait to come back and sail with them again. Can’t recommend them enough.
