    We had an amazing time on the tiki boat with our captain, Kathy. The weather looked a little ominous when we started our adventure but cleared up quickly leaving blue skies for us to enjoy the afternoon. Kathy was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area, giving us a guided tour of the area before arriving at the easily accessible sandbar. The clear blue water was the perfect temperature for us to float on our rafts and socialize with our friends. We highly recommend Cruisin Tikis!

    This is my first Cruisin Tiki ride at Key West, but my 3rd overall. My friend had never been on one and I wanted her to experience sunset in key west in the tiki boat! Directions were very easy and the company sent an email and text reminder, which was nice. We did the mellow ventures departure point. There was a bar/ restaurant right there so you could grab drinks, food or use the restrooms before hand. We had a great experience overall. But somehow got paired with a family. I would've preferred to be with a more fun group. But it was still enjoyable.

    This was a kitschy ton of fun. You bring your own drinks and then get taken on a ride around the harbor at sunset in this round, unique, tiki boat. It's relaxing, enjoyable and fit for everyone. Your group sits on bar stools in a circle around a round bar and the boat captain in the center steers and calls out a few sights. It's low stress and relaxing plus we got to see a nice sunset. I do need to mention that the captain will recommend you take your shoes off because waves can easily come in to the boat since it's low to the water. No big deal! It's part of the experience. Remember... it's BYOB unless you just want water to drink. We split our large party in to two boats that went out together. Reservations are required! My advice is to get there a little early so you are first in case one the boats is broken. That happened to the last group that arrived. Even though they had reservations, they couldn't go on the cruise because one tiki boat was kaflooey. Street parking across the street at the park was easy for us. Life is good on a relaxing harbor cruise with my wonderful wife and family!

    Dolphin Pod!

    Cathy was an absolute TREAT to spend a few hours with! She was very knowledgeable of the area. We were just out for a cruise and she made it a lovely experience. We saw iguanas in trees and we happened upon a pod of Dolphins. We got up close and personal with an abandoned sailboat. It was a perfect day.

    We had an absolutely amazing time on the sunset cruise with our captain, Taylor. The boat was so fun and we really enjoyed seeing the sights, the boats, and hearing about some of the interesting things along the way. Taylor was so great, so accommodating and a wonderful host! He made sure we got in the best spot for the sunset and was just so fun the entire time. Pro tip, get there early and grab a drink and some food to take with you from the Mellow Cafe. The staff is so nice, and the drinks are great! And then come back for one more beverage once you are done with your boat ride. Also, prep a fun play list for your boat ride. You won't regret it! I highly recommend Cruisin' Tikis Key West if you are in Key West for any occasion. Just a truly fun time!!!

    Great Time we had the 4 of us and our dog ziggy, Kathy was very infortative and friendly

    If you're looking for a unique key west experience or Tiki Boat, look no further! We can't speak highly enough of Cruisin Tikis - amazing experience from booking to the actual ride! Booked 3 private sunset tiki boat experiences for a large party of 17ppl and it was an absolute hit! The boats were adorable - all in theme and equipped with coconut cup holders, speaker, lights, cooler, ice, cups, assortment of refreshments, bar stools, & purse holder hooks (like at bars) great captains, & a great time! The captains were kind, knowledgeable, and informative - they were even kind enough to accommodate holding our purses at the helm to make sure they stayed dry. When you're at the dock, they have clean restrooms you can access before and after tiki boat ride.

    Ya ever think you're seeing things? Happens to the best of us. Though when you realize that what you saw is actually real, it can make for some amazing results. I'd say this was the case two years ago when some work buddies and I were in Key West at a bar by the water and looked up to see a floating, motorized tiki bar...um, what? We knew the next time we were down in the Keys that this had to happen. Flash forward to last month when we boarded our tiki bar adventure from Cruisin' Tiki Key West for one of the best experiences we've had down in the southernmost part of the U.S. Now let's lay out the schematics. The tiki structure is really just a floating dock disguised as a bar. Six persons is the max amount of guests aboard a tiki at one time (you can actually link up with other tiki bars if you have a big group) and it's all BYOB, though you can bring any kind of alcohol your heart desires. The tiki will supply you with ice and coolers as well as soda and water (for those in need of a little drink break). Add in a Bluetooth speaker for your own jams (or just listen to the local radio) and you're ready to set sail. Ride lengths and time can also vary, but we didn't want to do anything too long or elaborate so a one hour midday ride was good enough for us. That'll set you back about $300 plus tax, but split that between six people and it ain't half bad. Plus once you're underway it's hard to complain. The views are incredible and you'll get to see and learn some things you might not have known (who knew there was an island of homeless people right off the coast?). What adds to all this is your driver. If you get Russ, then you're in for a real treat. He's living the Key West life with a laid back, informative, fun attitude. He was the perfect final puzzle piece to this fantastic voyage (ha!) aboard "The Freaky Tiki" (yes, the bar had a name). Overall, Cruisin' Tiki's Key West is just awesome. How can you not enjoy yourself on a floating tiki bar off the coast of Key West (the correct answer is you can't!)? Perhaps on our next trip we'll do a longer excursion and/or go for the sunset cruise. Either way, there's high probability that I'll/we'll be returning for another ride aboard the Freaky Tiki. So if you happen to look up and see me floating by in one, just know I'm not a figment of your imagination. Nope, in fact your dreams have come true to cruise the Florida waters in your own tiki bar.

    An excellent experience. We were driving in from Miami and looking for a last minute adventure. This adventure did not disappoint. What an experience.

    Thank you Captain Emily for sharing the best view and info on Key West!

    Ask for Captain Emily for the most amazing cruise! We took a celebratory trip for retirement and had a truly spectacular evening!

    Absolutely a must! Great for small or large parties. I did a three tiki private cruise and it went smoothly and everyone had a place. They provide basic things like clean ice for drinks, cups, iced cooler with soft drinks and water, and filtered water. The test is BYOB. The Captains were friendly, professional and followed safety procedures. I would recommend everyone to try this at least once. The only thing is I wished they had longer cruises.

    Sunset from the floating tiki bar.

    This is a must if you visit Key West. This floating tiki bar was the cutest damn thing. The seats are comfortable and the captain was super cool. He pointed out sites and kept us safe. Gorgeous sunset! This is a two hour tour, so be sure to bring your food and booze- we brought ours from the cafe from where we set sail (The Mellow Cafe)- great food (even has vegan food!) and drinks on tap. Bring a jacket because it gets a little cold on the water after the sun sets and pace yourself drinking because there's no bathroom on board. I'll definitely do this again.

    If you're on the fence about booking a cruisin tiki...JUMP! We had an amazing time! This was the highlight of our trip! I actually wished we had booked it for both days we were in town because we had that much fun! We had Wendy as our captain and I can't say enough good things about her!! 2 of the guests who booked for our tiki time weren't on time (drunk in a bar at the wrong location) I was worried Wendy would wait for them and our time would be cut short...thankfully she said "the rest of the passengers are here on time so you will have to call the office about getting on another tiki" She 100% did the right thing! You get 2 confirmation emails telling you EXACTLY where and what time to meet your tiki tour so it's you're own damn fault if you don't follow directions! Wendy was super knowledgeable about the area, sea life, beaches, etc... If you book and Wendy's your captain just know you'll be in good hands!

    We took the dolphin watch/snorkeling tour. Seven in our group and 4 in the other. We appreciated…read morethe small tour size and the personal attention from Jesse and Jacqueline. Both were so knowledgeable and it was clear they were both passionate about their research. The boat was eco friendly as were the reusable water bottles. Highly recommend. (This isn't a booze cruise. If that's what you are looking for... go elsewhere.)

    My birthday wish this year was to A. See dolphins in the wild and B. See wild manatees and both…read morehappened on this trip. Unfortunately dolphins are speedy little devils and I didn't get a shot but I saw his with my own two eyes and that makes me happy. Mary and Jesse were great and made the trip lovely. They prepared a nice veg platter (not pictured) and a fruit platter after we snorkeled which was much needed. They also provide water. This was my first time snorkeling and I had a blast. I have a full face snorkel and man that made snorkeling much easier cause I could breath normally. They also have all the snorkel gear if you don't. We saw lot of beautiful sea life and corals thanks to the help of our guide Jesse who hopped in the water with us and pointed out all the cool fish. I swam right over a massive sting ray without realizing nearly had a heart attack lol. Best believe I prayed to the Steve Irwin gods to protect me lol (r.i.p Steve Irwin your a legend) they are very knowledgeable and care for what they do. At the end we were able to scan a QR code to see the pictures Jesse took off his go pro which he says he updates which is great. I had a wonderful birthday with you guys and I would recommend you yelpers out there give them a try.
