Cruisin' Tikis Holden Beach — Local services in Shallotte

Totally worth the money! When we boarded we met our captain Wes. To start or cruise we were each giving a lei of our choice to wear. Wes was very professional and knew what he was doing being the captain of the Tiki Cruise. When boats would come by making huge waves, he would slow the motor down and turn into the waves that were coming towards us. He was very polite and respectful to us ladies. He said we could play our own music or he could play his. He ended up playing his music is was good jams. My friends and I talked to him the whole time we are on the boat. It wasn't loud so we could carry on a conversation and hear each other, and just relax and take it all in. We saw several pods of porpoises/dolphins we watched them for a good 30 mins or so. We saw the most beautiful sunset! On our way back we saw the porpoises/dolphins again, and just as we docked we saw a huge manta ray jump out of the water in front of us docking. This was the best thing to do on a Friday evening! The weather was just perfect. We brought our own alcohol, we ate at Provisions before the ride, we just brought a small back pack cooler with our drinks premade and Wes provided us with ice. If you go on this adventure I'd definitely ask for Wes! I plan on making this a yearly...

Aug 2022 - Second straight year we book a cruise, and it didn't disappoint. The island hopper was booked so we took the Noon time Don't Worry Be Happy tour. Captain Henry was very friendly and entertaining. We had our teenage daughters with us and he gave them control of the music (which could have been a very bad idea) and even gave them a chance to drive before it was all over. It was a great way to see the area and soak up some ocean breezes. Thanks for a good time!

Aug 2021 - Had a fantastic time on the island hopper cruise. Captain Mike and his first mate were extremely friendly and made us all feel comfortable. Loved that we could bring our own food and drink! Enjoyed the spot where they docked us to swim for a bit. We were able to see the area from a point of view we hadn't been able to before. Would definitely recommend if you want to cruise down the intercoastal and have a little party at...

Wonderful Cruise!!! Really wanted to make the 2:00 hopper cruise, however it was booked so we decided to do the 4:30 cruise. When I called the person was so nice and professional. I explained we really wanted the private hopper cruise she checked her schedule and stated she could do a hopper at 4:30 if that’s what we wanted.

When we arrived Captain Ed greeted us very warmly ( like an old friend ). He gave us leis and began our tour. Captain Ed was very nice and friendly. We had great conversation and he was very informative of the island and general information. We enjoyed his hospitality very much. His playlist was spot on and was so relaxing . Thank you for such a great cruise Captain Ed. Highly...
