4.9Out of 5 starsOverall rating out of 490 Google reviews
This was so much fun! It was a perfect day for a boat ride through the bay. My group did an 80s theme attire for my birthday. Had drinks, 2 nieces won prizes. Donnie, Jen & Jeff were great. Make sure you listen and pay attention throughout the ride for chances to win some good prizes. We'll definitely be back soon.
Donny is a total boss and the best boat host ever. Get the pina colada as a double and bring your dance moves. Highly recommend!
Very good time Donnie is fun and amazing would recommend to go again and again
The crew was very attentive and fun! We had a group of about 20 and we all had a great time! We’ll book again for sure!
A great time. I recommend this tour with a couple or groups of friends. The crew were Great. I will go back again.
TIKI TIME IS AMAZING! You have to go! They are so funny and engaging. We went in March for my birthday and had the best time. They make it a point to talk to others, so it’s also a great way to meet people. They do games (that you can win if you pay attention) and give an informative tour. You definitely won’t be bored. I’ve been on other bay tours and this is by far the best. I’m still thinking about it and it’s been a month, would definitely recommend and go again! Thank you for such a great experience Donny, Jen, Capt. Jeff!!!
Had a blast from beginning to end. Would give 10 stars. Great entertainment, drinks were flowing and learned some local history. Thank you Donny, Jeff and Jen for a fabulous and fun cruise. See you again soon. Definitely recommend. I will also work on my ring toss skills!!
A group of four of us took the Tiki Time Bar Tour in February. The tour headed out just at sunset and the night was spectacular. The boat trip was a cross between a game show and harbor tour. We did the 21+ tour and enjoyed it very much. I'm an introvert but I got to know everyone on boat pretty well by the end of the tour. The tour director/owner used to own an improv club and he did a great job of getting everyone into the spirit! We met people from all over the country and even a bachelor party on board the boat. A fun time was had by all.
What a fantastic tour! We took our family (2 adults and 2 kids) and have a blast. From start to finish, Donny made sure we were having a great time and enjoying every bit of the tour. The boat was so clean, drinks were great, and the entertainment memorable. And of course it was great seeing the sea lions up close. Highly recommend!
Everything was amazing! Donnie, Capt. Mike, Jen, everyone was so accommodating and HILARIOUS from start to finish. Went with a 16 person group and everyone left with side aches from laughing! Will definitely return and refer clients to this fabulous company.
I want to give a shout out to Tiki Time Bay Tours. Donny was amazing to begin with. He "sold" us on the game tour. We were so hesitant, but he assured us it would be fun and he was right. Our captain, Mike, was fun, and entertained us the entire trip Jeff, who drove the boat, was so fun too.he is a former coast guard (thank you for your service) and kept us safe as we navigated the bay among so many other vessels. Safety was always his priority. Ashley, our server and bartender, was always there to ensure we were well taken care of. She made our group feel so special. Together, this team gave us such a wonderful experience. Two hours was definitely not enough time, but we enjoyed every single minute. To be sure, you MUST bring a fun attitude and be willing to participate in the fun and games the provide. If you do, you will not be disappointed. It's a refreshing and entertaining afternoon. Make sure if you're visiting Sand Diego to do the Tiki Time Bay Tours. If you bring a group and are ready to have fun, they will make sure you have the best time on the water. Every one of them is there to make sure you have a great time.
I rented the boat for a private charter hosting 12 clients and 8 employees and had high hopes...They were EXCEEDED. It was truly a highlight of the time we had with our clients while they were in San Diego (from all over the US!). There were games, drinks and LOTS of dancing! Truly an unforgettable time. Would 10/10 come back!
Absolutely amazing experience! We went with our family with small kids and everyone had a wonderful time! That staff was amazing and it felt like the tour was over too quickly. We would definitely go back next time we're in San Diego!
We attended a 60th birthday celebration at Tiki Time Bay Tours. We had an amazing time. The views are awesome. The crew are fantastic. Everyone had fun. It is a highly recommended activity.
What a great experience! Our kids (6 & under) loved the sea lion tour. The kids got to drive the boat, see sea lions, and play games. A memorable time for all of us.
After our wedding reception, I decided to book a private charter for our guests to experience the breathtaking beauty of San Diego Bay. Donnie, the talented improviser, made the ride super fun, alongside Captain Jeff and Bartender Cody. We really enjoyed the stunning views of the bay and even learned how to distinguish between male and female sea lions by their neck! Booking a private charter turned out to be the perfect "after party" idea for us to unwind, sip on cocktails, and entertain our out-of-town wedding guests. I highly recommend Tiki Time Bay Tours to anyone seeking a fun and unique way to explore San Diego. It's definitely one of the top attractions in the area, and I'm already looking forward to embarking on another tour soon!
My family and I had so much fun on this tour. The host Donny is so entertaining and created a great atmosphere. We got to know the other guests on the tour as well and we all agreed that this is the best thing we’ve done on our visit to San Diego so far.
This was the highlight of my San Diego trip. Wife & I did the sunset afternoon tour and it was just fun, relaxing, and everything I’d hoped for. The whole crew were delightful, friendly, and professional. Drinks were good! But the real star was all San Diego’s marina had to offer. Man those sights and that sunset will leave me with a lifetime of memories. A+, book it. You won’t regret it. (*Permission to use pics granted)
The Tiki sight seeing tour was an absolute delight! It was just so much fun. The sights were gorgeous. San Diego at sunset was divine. The music and libations were absolute choice and our tour guide, Ace, was by far the best part. She was so amazing. Her talent for humor, impromptu songs (which were hilarious) and relaying super interesting information about the San Diego bay were OFF THE CHARTS AMAZING, BUT her true gift was the ability to get a group of strangers to not only mingle with each other, but form much a bond that followed us even off the boat when the tour was done. We laughed, we howled, we hugged and a good time was had by all. Ace's message about love being the most powerful force in the universe followed us all off that boat and we'll take it forward with us. I look forward to going back again in the future! This trip is an absolute must!
Had such a great time! Got to see some seals. The tour guide was very informative and fun made the tour even better by including everyone in games. I highly recommend them!
We had Donnie, and were constantly hunched over in laughter the entire evening- I have never seen a more charismatic, insanely hilarious host in my life. The drinks were banging, and were not expensive for what they were pouring- lightning fast service for drinks, unbeatable views of the city, especially at night (even saw some sea lions!) music was amazing- literally every aspect of this was 10/10 perfect. So freaking cool!!!!!!!!
Wonderful tiki sunset cruise. Relaxing to be on the water seeing downtown from best views ever. Thanks to the crew for excellent service and hospitality ❤️
Amazing tour, the crew was extremely funny and entertaining, great choice of drinks and an amazing parade of lights event 👍🏼 The crew really wants you to enjoy and have fun which is why this tour works so well 🙏Huge shoutout to Donny🤜 who put on a big show with his hosting skills!! We happen to book this tour at the last moment and we felt it was our trip’s highlight 😍😍😍Definitely recommended 🙌
We had a blast on the tiki last night! We took the 7:15 unguided tour which was the perfect vibe… jazz music, views of the city lights at night, and delicious affordable cocktails. Donnie and staff were excellent hosts and gave us some really interesting facts about SD along the tour. You gotta love a small business that loves what they do and treats their guests right. Overall great experience and we will be back!
AWESOME staff, fun and kid-friendly tour! My grandkids had a blast!! BOOK IT!
This was my first time doing a San Diego tour since moving and I’m so glad we picked this one! I wanted a fun option that wouldn’t be too wild and this was the perfect balance. Kaleb was the real mvp. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a tour, beautiful views of the area.
Took my kids on the sea lion adventure and it was wonderful! The host, driver and bartender were all very engaging, kind and funny. It was a very laid-back ride out with lots of upbeat music. We rode out to the docks with the sea lions, stayed for a bit and rode back. It was a good time and my kids wanted to do it again the next day!
Such a great time! Have taken this tour twice, and both were very enjoyable! Anyone visiting San Diego has to take the nighttime cruise. The jazz music and lights are magical. Such a great time. Hat’s off to Donny for a great and enjoyable experience. Synthia
