The boat was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of room for our group, snacks, and drinks! The Newport Harbor views were absolutely gorgeous, especially around sunset. Whether you're celebrating something special, planning a date, or just looking for a fun day with friends or family, this is such a great experience. We're already talking about when we can come back for another Duffy day! Highly recommend!

The directions on…read morefinding the tiki were clear, boarding was a breeze and Nico was a great captain for the night. We did the 7:30-9pm time slot and it was perfect, we boarded as the sun was finally setting and were able to cruise around as the night was taking over. Nico was knowledgeable about the area and should us some points of interest. There is a sushi restaurant and a place where you can order burgers and other food right next to where you board the tiki. It can get quite busy to make sure you get there with plenty of time to spare if you plan on ordering food to take out on the water with you. Sodas, ice, and some water bottles are provided for you, but make sure you have a good playlist of music ready so you can connect to their bluetooth speaker.

The tour is such an informative, interactive, and interesting experience! The best part about it…read more.. it's free! I remember coming across videos on social media a very long time ago and had been meaning to make my own reservation. Randomly, it came to mind again and I decided to look into it. Making a reservation was super easy on their website. The days/times get booked quickly, when I made my reservation I had to make it almost a month out. Closer to the tour date you'll receive more details and a waiver to sign. You can email it or bring in a printed copy of it. Parking for visitors is not hard to find, you'll see a sign pointing you in the right direction once you pull into the plaza. Upon entry to the building you'll be checked in by one of the workers who will take the name of your group and verify that the waiver(s) have been signed. I don't want to spoil too much of the tour but you'll start in the lobby, work your way upstairs, into a classroom, then finally through the factory. Depending on the time/day that you go, you may see some workers in action. It's about an hour long and a great way to learn a little history about the popular probiotic drink :), I recommend it!

Love the Yakult drink. So when we found out they offer the Yakult Factory Tour, we booked it…read moreon-line. Parking is free and the facility is so nice and clean. Even the restroom is spotless. The tour is free and lasted about an hour long. The tour consists of two parts. The first is mainly introduction to the history of the Yakult drink, how it came about, and the benefits of the drink. We got to sample the drinks, both the red and blue bottles. The red bottle is the standard sweetness while the blue bottle has less sugar. The second part is the actual tour of the factory where they produce the drinks. We got to see the different rooms on how the drinks are made, from making the probiotics, to quality control, to bottling, and all the way to packaging for shipment. We were not allowed to take any photos or videos for the second part of the tour. It was very fun and informative. We had a great time here. If you love Yakult and is curious of how they are made, go and book the free tour today.

We had a wonderful experience with Paradiso Yacht Charters! From start to finish, everything was…read moreexceptionally well organized and exceeded our expectations. The Paradiso team, especially Kathi and Chacha, did an amazing job helping us plan and coordinate our event. Everything went exactly as described, with no unexpected surprises, which made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. The catering was fantastic as well. Chef Tom made it very easy to coordinate the menu, and having Chef Teddy with us during the event gave everyone added confidence that everything and everyone would be satisfied. The food and service were both excellent. On the day of the event, Captain Noah and Captain Joe did a tremendous job ensuring that we stayed on schedule while keeping everyone safe and comfortable throughout the entire trip. Their professionalism and attention to detail really made a difference. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The entire Paradiso team went above and beyond to make our event enjoyable, seamless, and memorable. We would highly recommend Paradiso Yacht Charters to anyone looking to plan a special event on the water! A special thank you to Captain Noah for making the ceremony especially meaningful. He took the time to get to know the departed and incorporated thoughtful personal touches that made the experience even more heartfelt and memorable. His compassion, attention to detail, and genuine care truly helped make the ceremony a beautiful tribute. Sincerely, Norman P. Goco

After doing extensive research found the Paradiso Yacht for my 50th birthday. The service with…read moreTanya was easy and professional. It did take a bit to get the premium bar menu to review - and I really wanted good champagne on the yacht to be served all night long, but they only had prosecco and we weren't able to work together to order nice bottles ahead of time. There was a 2 bottle maximum that was allowed to be brought on board with a $35 corkage - but they allowed me a few more bottles on board which was nice. But would have been nice to know ahead of time vs the day before. I wouldn't say anyone went above and beyond - but service was professional, courteous. Drinks for the premium bar were definitely on par with CA prices. They provided a list of caterers and for my milestone where I wanted French food - recommended Tom's Catering. He has been doing food on board for 20+ years and the food was PHENOMENAL. Guests devoured the food and everything was absolutely delicious. Boat has 3 levels and was able to fit the party nicely. The main floor had the bar and upstairs is where we played games. all in all - everyone had a lovely time, nobody got sea sick.

First experience on the Tiki boat for a large group gathering. Severely disappointed for the…read morefollowing reasons: 1. Each person paid a hefty price for a dinner cruise that never left the dock. 2. The boat is so old it can't even handle being in unstill water. 3. Main floor is extremely hot with no air, cross breeze or circulation. 4. Main floor is very old and dingy looking. I rated it a "3" because an attempt to make things right, by not leaving the dock, they allegedly upgraded us from the bottom shelf alcohol to top shelf. Plus the food was actually pretty good and so was the DJ. I am unconvinced that this boat should even be in business still after our experience.

We recently celebrated our kid's 15th birthday party on the Tikiboat…read more We booked it for 3pm on a Sunday for 50 guests, and had about 45 guests show up. The pros: * Great music, DJ kept the party lively and played requests. *The food (we opted for the Mexican food option) was actually tasty. It included nacho chips, quesadillas, flautitas, and chicken hard shell tacos. Toppings: guac, crema, salsa. Paper plates, napkins, and disposable utensils were all included. Obviously, right? * The staff was chill and helpful The meh: Since this is an honest review, I must include the following. * The boat is dated. It's more like the Krusty Krab than a fancy yacht. * The boat is dingy and not as clean. It could use a good vacuuming, deep cleaning of the rugs and all surfaces. Some fresh paint could help. New tables and chairs too. It definitely needs TLC! * Not sure what happened but 30 kids and 15 adults went through the food quickly. A few of us had very little to eat and by the time we went for more, the food was gone. No left overs. In summary, we had a great experience just wish the boat had a nicer look inside and more cleanliness. If your looking to host an informal even and just want to have a great time, this is the right boat for you. I wouldn't recommend it for an upscale, black tie event. Ps I think 65 people max is a good upper limit if you want to still be able to dance. We had a GREAT time!

An Absolutely Incredible Experience!…read more We had the most amazing time with Newport Coastal Adventure! Captain Dave and Sarah were absolutely wonderful--friendly, welcoming, incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. They got us out to a pod of dolphins so quickly and efficiently, and it was absolutely breathtaking! Then, thanks to their years of experience and expertise, they managed to find not just one, but THREE whales in such a short amount of time! It was truly an unforgettable experience. I would HIGHLY recommend Newport Coastal Adventure to anyone looking for a unique and exciting adventure on the water. It was well worth the money and so much more personal than being on one of the large, crowded whale-watching boats. The smaller group made the entire experience feel intimate, comfortable, and special. This is such a fun adventure for the whole family, and Captain Dave and Sarah made the experience even better with their professionalism, and wonderful personalities. Five stars all the way! We will definitely be back!

I didn't need to fill out any paperwork or take any pictures. Within 5 days they called me back and I picked up my passport and visa (sticker) inside. (I'm Vietnamese) you have to be Vietnamese to get the 5 year one I believe. I've recommended all my Viet friends who wants to visit Vietnam even though they said they're only going for a short time. Once you visit VN you'll more likely will go back next time etc. With a 5 years one, you don't need to keep getting a tourist visa everytime. This saves time and money.
