Ready with Tiki time tours is amazing. He was very knowledgeable of the area. Was fun to talk to. Seem to know some details that weren’t well-known knowledge. Will definitely go back.

I haven't been on a tour yet. But the 5 star rating is for customer service. The tour I booked needed to be canceled. The captain not only refunded the cost but offered a free tour the next time we are in the OBX. Excellent customer service!

We had a wonderful time on the cruise. We saw alot of dolphins and the captain was great. He was very friendly, he stopped when we saw dolphins, and was just wonderful. We would love to come again next year.

The absolute best time to be had on a boat for a couple hours. Dolphins were super active, the sunset was gorgeous, Carson and Randy were so much fun and so knowledgeable about the area. If you're thinking about buying tickets, just do it. It's awesome.

Our group of 9 from age 8 to 55 had a blast on the sunset cruise! Captain Randy found the dolphins with ease and the vibe on the boat was so much fun! We also got a bonus tour of Wanchese which was neat to see from the water and hear the stories about various points of interest. We will absolutely be coming again the next time we are in town!

Captain Randy & his daughter were awesome! This was my 2nd time doing this and it was so fun the last 2 years. He’s very knowledgeable and I loved hearing his sea stories.

This was one of the best Sunset Sails we have been on. We just sat back and relaxed. Great beach music playing while we watched the dolphins and the sunset. The Captain and first mate were very nice and informative. Can't wait to do it again.

We had the absolute BEST time!! The music and atmosphere were awesome! They were very accommodating! We enjoyed every minute of it and the hearing the kids yell “dolphin” and see their excitement, made for awesome pictures and memories!! The sunset was beautiful, too! Highly recommended this tour!

Had a group of 7 and we all thoroughly enjoyed the time! Saw plenty of dolphins and didn’t have a captain talking the whole time. They played great music and the shave ice was good too!

We had a great time on the Tiki Tour Dolphin Cruise! It was such a fun and relaxing way to spend a couple of hours on the water. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, the views were beautiful, and the atmosphere was perfect. It was a great addition to our bachelorette weekend, and everyone had a wonderful time. We’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

There are a few sunset/dolphin tour options out of Manteo and I think we found the best. Took a family group of nine (ages 11-73) for the evening sunset/dolphin midweek tour. We all had a GREAT time! The Captain and First Mate were skilled, knowledgeable, laid back, and provided a safe and relaxing evening. We appreciated the lack of tour guide chatter. After a brief intro and safety chat while we getting underway, the Captain just played music for the rest of the tour - a great mix too. We packed drinks for both the adults and kids, and a...

Amazing tour! Captain was awesome and didn’t talk our ears off. He put on some good music and off we went. The boat was spotlessly clean inside and out. The seats were all super nice leather benches and the whole floor was a fake grass. It basically felt like we were on a floating patio. Of course we saw a ton of dolphins and my kids were even given snow cones and bracelets. 11/10 would recommend this tour to anybody.

If you're looking for a memorable sunset cruise in the OBX, I can't recommend OBX Tiki Time enough! We booked their sunset dolphin cruise during our July vacation, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The captain and crew were incredibly friendly and made everyone feel welcome from the moment we stepped aboard. We were lucky enough to see lots of dolphins, which was exciting for both the kids and adults. The relaxing island music, beautiful scenery, and laid-back atmosphere made the entire experience feel like a true vacation. The sunset over the water was absolutely breathtaking,... READ MORE
