Our family of 4 (with a 10 and 16 year old) had an amazing time renting a tiki boat. The views were gorgeous. We ordered a bbq to have onboard and it was the perfect lunch (we requested two vegetarian patties for the vegetarians onboard and they were tasty). Our kids loved relaxing on the circular swim pads (along with snorkeling around the docks). It was the perfect day to enjoy on the island!

We had such a brilliant day on the tiki boats! Our party of 8 included the bbq which was just right! Everyone had fun! We enjoyed tiki island, the hammock, the water pool and diving for conch shells. The staff were the best too. Really great fun!

Super fun experience. Easy and fool proof. Staff was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Clear instructions and abundance guidance was given, anyone can do this! Beautiful views and ample space to explore. We had a group of 6 and rented the xl tiki lifeboat. We could have easily fit 3 more people with room to move about. Highly reccomend, great day on the Spanish waters!

We had such a great time! It was so fun, we extended our time. It was one of our favorite things we did this trip. We called for drinks and they would boat them to you. The staff was so kind and was the best customer service we’ve had all trip. The boat was easy to operate & instructions were clear. Could not recommend them enough!

A must experience!! This was so much fun. The food was excellent. There were 2 of us but we only purchased one meal. It was probably enough meat for 2if you added chips of fruit or something else, but we could have gotten bbq for 2 and finished it all. I wouod reccomend start cooking at least 2 hours before you have to get back to shore. The coals have to heat up and then you have to cook your food. Just prepare for that. The customer service was phenomenal. They were so helpful and everything was very clear on what to do. Our guide showed us the way by leading us on her own boat making it more comfortable for us in the beginning since I never drove a boat before.
