Summary: Rented a Cruisin tiki for my husbands birthday and it was the HIGHLIGHT of our 4 day trip!!!! Captain Natasha was very accommodating, funny, and thankfully also knowledgeable about the area so she was able to answer some questions I had (since I was still planning things to do during our stay). My son got to drive the tiki and I got the cutest pics of him behind the wheel in the captains hat. My oldest kid got to sit in the water in a floating tube connected to the tiki and she loved that. I like that we were able to Bluetooth our own music to their system and bring our own drinks. ICE, COOLER, AND SOLO CUPS WERE PROVIDED AT NO EXTRA CHARGE. Will definitely be returning in the summer and doing the longer cruise next time. MAKE SURE YOU TIP - IT IS WELL DESERVED!!!
