Outing Highlights

WILDLIFE

Pelicans, Ospreys — and the Occasional Dolphin

The route threads habitats where pelicans and ospreys are commonly seen and—on the luckier trips—playful dolphins may appear near the boat for brief, memorable encounters.

THE ROUTE

Canals and Mangrove Channels

The cruise explores Little Hickory Bay, nearby canals lined with waterfront homes and lush mangrove passages that bring guests into intimate proximity with the coastal landscape.

THE VIBE

Bring Your Own Party

These tiki cruises are BYOB/BYOF: guests bring their own drinks and snacks while the operator supplies YETI coolers, ice, cups and a Bluetooth sound system so you can steer the soundtrack.

What the 90-Minute Cruise Feels Like

A licensed captain pilots the floating tiki from a convenient dock at The Fish House, easing guests out over calm backwaters where conversation, playlists and the occasional wildlife sighting set the tempo for the outing.
