Tiki Tours was the highlight of our trip. 9 of us really enjoyed our 2 1/2 hour boat tour. They were on time to pick us up with fantastic communication prior to our departure. They had coolers with ice and a loud speaker waiting on board for when we arrived. About halfway through the trip, they inflated rafts and let us swim. They had props and helped video/photo our fun. Highly recommend this boat tour!Posted on Chelsey Chinault2025.07.19.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Natalia and Sam were the best! Had the boat to ourselves and they made it a super fun time. 10/10 will come back when I visit again 🙂
