Randy is great! He took the time to charter us around and filled us with lots of stories.
Captain Randy was great! It was well worth the price. I would recommend this to anyone that wants a laid back comfortable boat tour.We saw dolphins after not even 30 minutes on the boat. What I enjoyed about this in comparison to other dolphin tours that I’ve been on, is that he slowed down to let us see the dolphins and followed them around a little bit. Very calmly and slowly. Other dolphin tours in the past have been very fast and hard to see the dolphins.Captain Randy also had great facts about the area.I was also able to see Bodie lighthouse from the water, which I thought was great. I went there earlier in the week, so it was great to see another perspective of it.Since this was a sunset tour, we also got some great views of the sun reflecting off of the water as the sun went down and it was gorgeous. Calm and quiet. Very peaceful.In addition to a great trip, he also had a cooler on board with complimentary beverages and a bathroom.I didn’t have cash on me, however, he does have Zelle.Overall, I had a fantastic time.
Well worth the money and time! It took less than 35 minutes into the trip to spot multiple Dolphins! The Captain was polite, knowledgeable and very laid back.The boat was clean and has comfortable chairs with a good view, coolers and a bathroom on board.The directions for parking were great. (My pro tip if it is not busy season is to put in Poor Richard's restaurant, as there is street parking as well as the two parking areas near by. The walk from the Festival Area is not terribly far either.)Tips: Cash is always king, but he does accept Zelle as well!I've been down to OBX multiple times and stayed in Currituck, KDH, Manteo. I wouldn't hesitate to make this Trip a yearly outing!
Perfect afternoon, wonderful friends and great captain! Captain Randy was entertaining and very knowledgable about the area. We were even fortunate enough to see dolphins on our trip. Thank you, Captain Randy!
Captain Randy was outstanding- dolphin sightings, great weather! Randy had so much information. Thoroughly enjoyed the day!
We loved this experience!! This was our last day of our trip but wish it had been the first! Experience not to be missed!!
We had a great, relaxing time on our dolphin tour! We had a small group and it felt very personal. We saw plenty of groups of dolphins and enjoyed talking with our captain getting the scoop on all the cool places to visit and restaurants to try. The boat is so comfortable and covered so you won't have to worry about getting sunburnt.
Clearly Captain Randy loves his job. We had a blast and will definitely be back!
Wow if you are looking for a Great time and want to possibly see dolphins this is the man for you !! We went out and had a Great Time.
We had a family of 4 with a 3 and 7 year old on the boat and we had a great time! Randy was very interesting and gave a great tour. Thank you for taking us out!
Randy is a great guide. Knowledgeable of the area and really tries to get you to see what you came to see. Would highly recommend this to anyone
Trip of a lifetime! Saw many many dolphins! Randy is the nicest captain. Very accommodating and made everything comfy and easy. He is an expert at this and got us up close with the dolphins for an epic trip! Boat is awesome. Comfortable seats, bathroom, music, bring your own food/drink. Will definitely do any tour offered by OBX Tiki Time again!!
Randy was awesome and answered all the touristy questions. I’ve never seen dolphins so close. I would return.
Great trip. Randy was very communicative before the trip, made sure we had clear directions to the puck up location . During our trip we saw lots of dolphins and Randy was great about providing local information and pointing out interesting places. We would definitely do this trip again.
We booked a dolphin tour.My family and I were so excited.Our captain had a very nice boat. He was full of information and insite. And those dolphins,fabulous!!!!I recommend this tour, hands down!!!Thanks for putting such excitement in the eyes of my family.
Had a great time despite it being cold out. We didn’t expect to see dolphins given it was the week of Thanksgiving but we had a group of dolphins hang around the boat and follow us for a good while. Captain Randy is a great tour guide and very informative of the area. For the price and experience I’d definitely do this again.
Captain Randy was great!! He was funny and very informative. We came Thanksgiving week this was the only dolphin tour we found.. and it was fantastic!!
Randy was so awesome. We had the most beautiful evening, saw lots of dolphins and a beautiful sunset. Boat was so fun and super clean.
Randy was an awesome boat captain. We saw tons of dolphins up close. The boat was amazing, new and so clean.
Today at 1:30 our group of 4 went dolphin watching. The weather was beautiful. We saw several small groups of bottle nose dolphins close by and some were very close to the beautiful 45’ pontoon. Randy the owner, is a local who grew up here, was very entertaining and informative. He took us to various spots and gave us some history about each place.This is our second time Randy has been our captain and guide. I would definitely recommend OBX Tiki Time. I’m looking forward to next year.
What a fantastic time! Our tour guide, Randy, was the best. He was so fun & knowledgeable. We took our young family with us & they loved the experience. LED lights, music, a disco ball, & plenty of space to move around. Would do this again!
Great experience with Randy on OBX Tiki Time!We saw lots of dolphin, a beautiful sunset and had tons of fun! Would definitely recommend and do it again!
This was an amazing time. Saw over 20 dolphins was worth it the guide was awesome
This was a great trip. Enjoyed the scenery and the captain. Very knowledgeable about the area. Great for the anniversary trip experiance.
Great experience! Saw dolphins, learned some history and overall awesome time. Highly recommended!
We had a great time! The boat is new and clean and comfortable and is perfect for viewing the dolphins and sunset. We were in the middle of a school of dolphins for quite a while. Afterwards we went on a tour of the fishing village then relaxed as we watched the sun sink behind the trees in a beautiful sunset. Worth every penny.
Super fun time! The captain and first mate are super knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. We ran up on a pod of 6-8 dolphins and got some great pictures!
Everything was great our family of five loved it! Saw a ton of dolphins and got some history of the fishing community as well. We will book again next year! Thanks Captain!
100% Blown away by the experience! My fiance and I booked our seats not really knowing what to expect as we’ve NEVER done anything like this. We were lucky enough to show up and board the boat early and chat with the crew. A pair of the nicest, most personable people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. The boat itself was clean, organized and just an overall vibe, especially paired with the personalities aboard. We were lucky enough to see dolphins pretty early in our voyage, which then we were all given the option to continue searching for more, or to adventure off to see more. Throughout the entire time the guys running the boat were engaging with everyone aboard, having casual conversations, checking in on people, and offering waters.All in all I couldn’t think of a better way to spend the two hours that we spent with them looking at dolphins, searching for wildlife, and just enjoying the ride. One of the best experiences I’ve had, 10/10 would recommend, and we’re already talking about how much we want to go again!
Went on a tour this evening and it was perfect. We saw many dolphins, learned a little about the history of the area, and enjoyed a beautiful sunset. These guys do a great job.
I cannot describe how much FUN this was!!! Captain Randy could not have been more accommodating and professional! Seeing the dolphins and the sunset was incredible! HIGHLY recommend & will definitely do it again!!!
So much fun for a big group! Not only is there a bar, but also a bathroom! 🍾
Had the BEST time out on the tiki boat! 10/10 would recommend! The boat was sooo cute and the captain and his mate were so wonderful! They made sure we got some good pictures too and hit alllll the angles. I can’t wait to do it again!
Randy and his crew were so accommodating for our bachelorette group! The Tiki boat is such a fun way to experience an excursion on the Outer Banks! Highly recommend booking a trip. Very spacious boat, clean, bathroom on board, and ability to play music.
Took a boat ride for my bachelorette it was soo fun! Bathroom on the boat with coolers to put your drinks. Saw dolphin! Highly recommend
Had the best time! Fun bachelorette boat ride. I would absolutely book again!
We had so much fun on the OBX tiki boat celebrating a bachelorette weekend! They took us all around Wanchese and Manteo site seeing. We even got to see a ton of dolphins! We brought drinks, snacks and connected our phones to the Bluetooth speakers - we had a BLAST! Highly recommend!
We had a lovely time! The crew was great. The boat was clean & had very comfortable seating and lots of shade. We got to see so many dolphins!
Amazing tour! The boat was clean and comfortable, we loved the shade and artificial grass. We were rescheduled for later in the day, but the owner was incredibly flexible and communicative. We brought our own cooler with snacks and drinks, but the best part: so many dolphins. The captain knew exactly where to sail, and the crew was knowledgeable and informative. 10 out of 10, we can't wait to make this a yearly tradition.
