We had a blast with Captain Willy, Raphaela and Pebbles! Great boat and hospitality! Highly recommended!
We had a great time! My family of 4 went out for a few hours and explored the waters and stopped at a sandbar to do some shelling. The water was beautiful, the boat was clean, and the owners were fantastic! Would highly recommend and cannot wait to go again on a sunset cruise!
Friends and I spent a long weekend on the island. Wanted to break up some beach time and found your tiki tour. We had an incredible night. You are wonderful hosts! And as an added bonus, we saw multiple dolphins throughout the entire trip. Definitely will do it again! Highly recommend.
Just returned from a tour today, and I’ve got to say, it was the best tour I have ever been on!! Willy is highly knowledgeable about the island and shared many great stories. He is very engaging and accommodating! We saw tons of manatees (close up) and lots of dolphins too! He genuinely wants to make sure you have a memorable time — and you will! His prices can’t be beat either.
My girlfriend and I had an awesome time with Captain Willy and Raphaela on the Tiki Boat. Lots of fun, saw several manatees and enjoyed our hosts! Thank you and we will see you again next year for another tour.
