    First and foremost, Captain Al was awesome and if I go on another cruise I would request to be on his boat. The tour was beautiful and I had a great time. I went solo and I loved it but I would say it’s great for couples or friend trips as well!

    Ann_G, Jul 2023
    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!

    Buy Direct

    Sharon_R, Jul 2023
    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.

    Amazing

    Lijah_H, Jul 2023
    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.

    Very enjoyable

    Clara_B, Jul 2023

    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!

    Chris_G, Mar 2023
    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.

    The whole ride was...

    Jartavius_S, Dec 2022
    The whole ride was memorable to me from the dolphins to the sunset even the houses and boats were a sight to see

    So glad we booked!!

    Karen_I, Dec 2022
    Captain Keith was excellent! He has great insight, knowledge and wisdom. I truly enjoyed our husband.

    Gorgeous harbor lights

    Diane_G, Oct 2022
    Gorgeous harbor lights and excellent trip with Captain Josh. He was super nice and had some good inside scoop on famous residents and restaurant choices. Our only small issue was finding the dock since it's accessed from between the Boathouse restaurant and outdoor bar. We had to ask at a local restaurant where to go, and then we saw the "Cruisin' Tiki" sign between the two buildings.

    Fun for all ages!

    Camille_S, Oct 2022
    Lights are pretty! Host was fun and engaging. Music was appropriate for all-- couples, kids, teens, and all!

    Marilyn_S, Sep 2022
    We truly enjoyed ourselves on the Tiki Harbour Cruise. It is relaxing. Our Captain...Cpt Murray was very knowledgeable about the area and restaurants. You can hook up to the bluetooth and play your own music. I also suggest that you bring your own drinks. Awesome boat ride!

    A great experience

    Lisa_P, Aug 2022
    So much fun! Captain Keith was funny, told great stories and played great tunes. We had family in town and they really enjoyed it ☺

    Our captain, Al, was...

    Dawn_M, Aug 2022
    Our captain, Al, was excellent!!! He was very informative about the tour. He showed us all the restaurants in the harbor and gave a honest opinion of the food. We saw alot of beautiful homes and huge yachts. We even saw a fishing boat that had sunk in the harbor a few weeks before our trip. We will definitely do this again on our next trip to Destin and ask for Captain Al.

    Looking forward

    Sarita_T, Aug 2022
    Cruise was cancelled due to weather. If I return to Destin I look forward to doing this. Would be nice if weather issues/cancellation possibilities could be communicated early to avoid trip.

    Response from Host, Aug 2022

    Its weather, an ever moving dynamic force. We apologize that we weren't able to control the weather. It is so quick to change in this area, the Capts do their best to make the right call and apologize for any inconvenience.

    Wonderful time!

    Michael_B, Jul 2022
    Seeing all of the beautiful homes, and the lights if the Harbor. Guide (Kenny) was GREAT. He was funny, and very knowledgeable about every

    I can't really say if...

    Nicole_D, Jul 2022
    I can't really say if this was a good experience or not because we never got to go. I had a reservation for 8:30pm on 4th of July, I scheduled it many many weeks in advance. When we were getting close to the location I called because we couldn't find where they were located , at that time they informed me they overbooked and we couldn't go out. My family and I's 4th of July was ruined! I booked through Viator, I have used them several times with no issues, the women on the phone blamed trip advisor. Viator books based off the availability provided to them. They did nothing for us and they ruined out night. Not good service
