    Fun time

    I have also time with the people in the boat and my family.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review, Teresa! We love hearing you enjoyed time with your family and the crew on the boat.

    Please, book large Bachelorette Parties Separately

    Since it was my husband and my first time on Tybee Island, we were really looking forward to a Tiki boat style cruise together and meet a few new folks. Captain Bob and crewmate Jackson did the best they could with the fact that nine of the passengers were part of a Bachelorette Party. He told us that we might be seeing dolphins which we saw lots. The young women on board pretty much took over the trip with the remaining seven of us just sitting/standing along the sides of the boat. Their select playlist of music was so loud, Captain Bob could not tell us about any of the sights (i.e., the lighthouse, the fort, etc.). The ladies drank lots (i.e., tequila shots from a paddle and vodka from a double bong). They got pretty loaded. Captain Bob apologized directly to us for the experience that we were having. After forty-five minutes, I was watching my watch to see when the tour would end. The ladies were not rude, they just took over the entire trip. Management should book Bachelorette Parties separately.

    Great time! Was so happy to see all the dolphins.

    Enjoyed the tiki boat very much. The Captain and Jackson were very informative. Saw many dolphins.

    Response from the operator: We are glad to hear you enjoyed the Tiki boat and the dolphins! Captain Craig and Jackson appreciate the kind words.

    Great sunset cruise

    We had a great family experience on the tiki sunset cruise. Captain Craig and first mate Jake were great hosts keeping it entertaining and fun. We all had a great evening on the open water, seeing some of the local sighs, learning some fun facts about the area and seeing quite a few dolphins up close. We had a great evening and would highly recommend for others looking for a nice evening on the water. Our kids also had a great experience so definitely family friendly.

    Tybee Tiki Boat Adventure: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tybee Island.

    How much does Tybee Tiki Boat Adventure cost?

    +

    Prices start at $47 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tybee Island usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Tybee Tiki Boat Adventure take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tybee Island is not rushed.

    Is Tybee Tiki Boat Adventure worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 59 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tybee Island, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Tybee Tiki Boat Adventure?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Tybee Tiki Boat Adventure suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tybee Tiki Boat Adventure?

    +

    Around 21 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tybee Island can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tybee Island and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tybee Tiki Boat Adventure start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tybee Island within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Tybee Island?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Tybee Island experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Historic Tour of Tybee Island, Tybee Island Ghost Tour, Tybee Island Sunset Tiki Cruise. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Tybee Island?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Tybee Island?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Tybee Tiki Boat Adventure?

    +

    Included: Sightings of dolphins; 90-minute guided tiki boat tour around Tybee Island waters; and USCG licensed Captain and Guide. Not included: Gratuity to your captain; Alcoholic beverages; Bottled water; and Carbonated beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Tybee Tiki Boat Adventure?

    +

    We are located at Tybee Island Marina (home to Bubba Gumbo's restaurant) our check-in office and retail location is just before you reach the docks. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Tybee Tiki Boat Adventure offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Tybee Tiki Boat Adventure?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Tybee Tiki Boat Adventure if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
