One of the coolest perks about hopping onto our tikis is the intimate setting it offers.

Beyond the popular views and experiences, these tiki boat journeys unveil some of Fort Lauderdale’s best-kept secrets. Tiny islands dot the waterways offering up fabulous hotspots for spotting local wildlife or simply sharing a toast with friends as you drift by. Ever heard of the New River Tunnel? Our slow cruise on these tours lets you soak in its vintage charm from a perspective that highlights its architectural fascination. Plus, tucked-away gems like the Colee Hammock Park provide a quiet spot where locals love to chill, but only the nautical crowd ever gets to see this intimate version. The beauty of waterfront sightseeing this way is that you don’t just sightsee—you explore, engaging with the environment through all senses, with endless charm and fun at every bend in the river.
