Original Cruisin Tikis Harbor Lights Cruise

We were a family of 6. Danny was an awesome guide and gave us a lot of history and information about Destin. Really enjoyed his music as well

The girls and I needed a moment of relaxation and fun before the wedding! Harbor Lights Cruise was perfect! They provided Bluetooth for music, ice, cups, and a cooler! We brought our snacks and wine and had a time! Sam was a cool host! She sang along and embraced our bad sing along! I would certainly do this cruise again! It was nice and intimate with 6 friends! I appreciated the communications throughout the process from the company! Book’em!

Justin, our captain was awesome! Super laid-back, had great music and knew how to play to his passengers. We are locals and so happy to have discovered Cruisin’ Tikis! We will be back soon! 😎

What an awesome experience, Captain Sam was phenomenal, very knowledgeable and so much fun. Best thing we have done all week, Highly recommended for anyone.

Sam was amazing and we loved the cruise. We will definitely book again. We have done it before and is it’s just amazing.

I loved how cool John was and he was so friendly and made us feel safe on the water at night,,, I would say this is a winner it was so much fun and relaxing , and john had the music on point for us.

Our captain was not very friendly or personable. Not to me, anyway. If I asked him a question he’d ignore me. For whatever reason? I was super excited to visit Crab Island. It was something I was looking forward too. Something I’ve wanted to do for a few year’s. His attitude ruined the visit for me. I tipped him $80 anyway…just to show him although he was rude to me, I’m a better person than his rudeness and what he thought of me. He was stunned I tipped him that much. He became friendly after. I will go again. Just not with captain. Also, not going to put his name on here because I don’t want his business to go down.

This was a fantastic experience. The only negative was that our entire party of 8 could not fit on one tiki. Captain John was very laid back and answered any questions we had. He provided us with music and a very relaxing ride through the harbor. We did not require anything to drink but water was available. Beautiful homes and a beautiful view of the shoreline. One warning, there is no bathroom on the tikis and it is a 1.5 hour cruise.

We did the evening cruise. It was really nice and perfect for couples. Our captain was friendly and professional. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Destin. Definitely recommend evening cruise for couples.

Our family had a great time with Captain Brian. He was very informative and we would definitely recommend this trip.

The insight on food and fun from Captain Murray was great! Music and atmosphere was relaxed and Romantic.

Captain Brandon was awesome and it was a lovely tiki cruise! The night lights of the buildings were beautiful!

Awesome trip with my wife celebrating our 34th Wedding Anniversary. Capt Sam was awesome, friendly and knowledgeable and allowed everyone the option to play one of their favorite songs. Cruisin' Tikis also allow passengers to bring food and their choice of beverage and store extra beveragesin their ice chest. I recommend expericing the night cruise.

I had seen this event in the section that was “most likely to sell out” on tripadvisor & I can definitely see why! Justin was our tour guide & he did a fantastic job. He played great music & was very easy going. We had even seen a dolphin & even jelly fish while cruising on the water which turns out from what Justin had said is very unusual to see a dolphin during the night so it was a little fun bonus to our cruise. I would definitely recommend this to do with your friends, family, or even your significant other.

Our trip was so fun! The lights were beautiful and Captain Bill was knowledge. A night time playlist would be the only suggestion. We enjoyed it!

Great experience and tiki ride. Our Captain was great and gave a good tour. The ride was very smooth and we didn’t even realize we were on the water. Will do again when we visit.

Last minute cancellation due to weather. I was unable to make any changes with Tiki because I purchased through a 3rd party. But directly from the vendor. The price is the same and you have more flexibility. I’m still waiting on my refund. Others were refunded or credited on the spot.

We absolutely loved Captain Murray!!! My husband and I were spending our anniversary in Fort Walton Beach/Destin area in June 2023 and decided to take this cruise at the last minute. We are soooo happy that we did!! It was very easy to reserve and pay for the trip, even an hour before. We were supposed sail with another couple (that we did not know), however, we found out that they cancelled at the last minute, so we were able to enjoy the cruise alone. It was absolutely beautiful!! Captain Murray met us on the dock, and we immediately knew that he was the perfect Captain for us. He was very accommodating and made us feel like we have known each other for years!! His playlist was top notch, the lights were colorful, low, romantic, and set the mood perfectly. He even stopped and took pictures of us!! The tiki moved at a good slow, steady speed and the ride was so smooth. Captain Murray showed us so many sights that you cannot see from anywhere else, and we were so blessed to have such a great host for our anniversary cruise. Thank you again Captain Murray for making our evening so memorable....we will be back!!!

The tiki cruise was so much fun! It’s a great way to finish up your evening. The cruise only allows 6 people per tiki so if you’re not a huge fan of crowds or large groups, it’s perfect. Our captain, Sam, was a great tour guide and DJ. She also kept the vibe on the tiki upbeat. Beautiful views of the Destin Harbor. Definitely ready to go back now with friends.

It was very relaxing and we enjoyed the tour. We had great music and a great Captain. I would recommend this on your next visit to Destin.

From our guide to the beautiful night (lights), we enjoyed everything. We were able to look at all the beautiful houses and yacht. We loved this experience, will do this again.

Me and my wife enjoyed it was so relaxing and Captain John was so nice to everyone and we enjoyed him singing. I would recommend this ride to anyone looking forward to doing it again soon.

Captain Murray is the best tour guide and an excellent cruise captain. Not only did he keep us safe but he was engaged with the crew. We had so much fun listening to music 🎶 and dancing. CPT Murray’s rules: #1) Have fun! 🤩 #2) Don’t break rule #1. Words can’t do justice to explain how enjoyable the Harbor lights Tiki Cruise was. Thank you so much CPT Murray!

Beautiful cruise through the harbour with a stop to see the awesome fireworks off of the barge! Great views and music and our captain CJ was great with local knowledge and great restaurant suggestions!

All of it was good we had an excellent time tour guide was awesome and everybody was very friendly definitely do it again

The view was beautiful. Service was great! It was extremely relaxing and we had an amazing time together as a family.

The tour guide (Captain John) was so friendly, and easy going. The boat was nice, and everything is as listed online. This was a great time. Would highly recommend!

Great way to celebrate a birthday!! Friendly Captain Mike played some great music and took us around the harbor to see the beautiful nightlife.

This was a very pleasant cruise! Loved looking at the lights and properties around the harbor. Our tour guide was very interesting and fun! He was a fill in captain but we really enjoyed him taking us around! This is our 3rd tiki cruise and we will definitely book this again! Love that it is small and cozy. Just 6-7 people at most!

It was so fun and the captain was so down to earth wish it lasted a little longer it was over to quick and the boat is kind of slow wish we went further in the ocean but overall we had a good time

Good time! Tour of the marina including beautiful huge mansions and yachts owned by celebrities and athletes. The night view is gorgeous caption is nice.

Great experience. The tour guide was marvelous. The view was beautiful. I would recommend this to anyone

Me and my wife loved this. We did the night time trip. It was amazing. Bailey was our captain and she was very knowledgeable of the area.

Fun time. Relaxing and informative of the area! It was nice and would definitely take this cruise again.

Amazingly relaxing, beautiful scenery, informative, and Sam was amazing!!! We really enjoyed the atmosphere and tranquil experience!

This was a nice nighttime boat ride around the harbor. I expected more lights, I'm not sure why. Our captain was nice and informative. We had a good time. Unfortunately we got rained on and it was cold.

Amazing experience!! My boyfriend and I really enjoyed the relaxtion and company on our ride. Everyone should at least give a try while in Destin!

My favorite experience was driving the boat. It was my birthday wkend and another girls. We had an amazing time with Mike. He was very professional and made the boat ride fun/ enjoyable and entertaining. I defy recommend doing this

Captain Josh was awesome! Great tour guide and even cooler guy. Me and my girlfriend love Destin it is our little getaway haven! The food, shopping, and entertainment scene is just amazing! The hotels are affordable and luxurious as well! Will be back next month! This boat cruise was lit. Just being on the harbor seeing cool boats and houses with great music and booze it’s lit! Lol

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! we paid for 5 people to go on this we get there go through the whole check in process sign waivers even get told that we had only filled 4 waivers and needed to fill out a 5th get ready to load on the tiki only to be told they had overbooked and we all couldn’t go.Now they are refusing to issue a refund even though I have all the payment records,tickets, and screenshots from the order for 5 people. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL

Highly recommend this tour. Loved the tour and loved our captain Sam. Very knowledgeable, we had a great time. Don’t miss

If your on the fence this is your push to do this!!!!! It literally felt like two excursions in one. Captain Sam she is real deal good people, she’s invited to the bbq anytime. Definitely passed the vibe check. She not only made sure everyone got to play music and if you don’t have any songs in mind her playlist is lit!!!! She showed us celeb boats and houses. It was hands down well worth the money.

Had a blast with Capt Murry. He was very informative and interacted with us very well. He has 2 rules that are super important 1) Have fun no matter what. And 2) Under no circumstances break rule # 1. He played great music and was able to keep our two teenage daughters entertained also

The views were amazing and we took photos and videos on top of learning some things. Captain Murray was Awesome. He was so nice and informative. We had lots of fun.

By far the best experience hands down I had so much fun on this cruise through Destin. Our sailor was amazing, he played great music, took our pictures & explained the cruise in great detail. This was truly a gem & I will be returning the next time I visit Destin!

Enjoyed a 1.5 hour night tour of the harbour. Captain was very chatty and welcomed all questions. Lots of points of interest. Would reserve again.

Captain John was awesome! It was a chilly and windy night on the Tiki cruise but he made it fun and we had a great time!

The whole ride was memorable to me from the dolphins to the sunset even the houses and boats were a sight to see

Captain Keith was excellent! He has great insight, knowledge and wisdom. I truly enjoyed our husband.
