Frequently Asked Questions

We operate 7 days a week!

Currently, we can hold up to 6 people. Our boats are approved for 14 pending coast guard approval. We are hopeful we will have this clearance before the thick of summer!

The best way to check availability is to use our 'book now' button and check your number of guests with the date you are looking for and select a time that allows for your party to join us on board.

You can book two time slots and go for double the time. You must book a private tour for both slots in order to stay out on the water the entire time.

We recommend everyone pre-book online as walk-up availability is never guaranteed and is hard to come by!

We do operate in rain as the tiki boats are covered. however, the captain can decide at anytime to cancel due to weather conditions such as heavy wind or lightning.

Cancellations requested 10 days before booking will be refunded. If you book a tour within 10 days, you will not receive a refund. Canceling your reservation after the 10 day window is non-refundable. This includes arriving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, arriving late, exceeding the weight limit, forgetting your id, no shows, personal emergencies or personal mishap. If Original Tiki Tours℠ has to cancel the reservation due to inclement weather or any other reason, you may reschedule or receive a refund. Weather cancellations are determined only by original tiki tours℠. Weather must be inclement at our location at your specific scheduled time.  No exceptions. Thank you for understanding our policy.
