THE OTTAWA VALLEY’S FIRST AND ONLY FLOATING TIKI BAR BOAT
🌴 LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR NORMAL 🌴
Ottawa, Canada
Aloha! Welcome on-board the Ottawa Valley’s first and only floating TIKI BAR BOAT! Ottawa Tiki Tours takes the tiki bar to the water and allows passengers to sail away to paradise on the Ottawa River starting mid-May 2021!!
Operations are currently set to manage our Tiki Cruises just to east of Ottawa in city of Rockland Ontario. Both vessels are scheduled to debark from that location, but there are negotiations with The National Capital Commission to have a debarkation point somewhere downtown. Owners Mike & Gaby are open to working with other marinas along the Ottawa and Rideau rivers for the potential placement of a 3rd boat.
Our floating Tiki Boat is the best way to experience the beautiful Ottawa River. We will be offering an amazing experience aboard an exclusive and unique 20 ft x 20 ft custom built Tiki Boat. Passengers will be envied on the water as they cruise the time away sipping drinks, listening or singing karaoke to their favourite tropical tunes!
The motor-run vessel accommodates up to twelve guests (and two crew) and is equipped with fully functioning washroom facilities, Bluetooth speaker, bar stools, flat screen TV, karaoke system and all necessary safety equipment. Passengers are invited to bring their own food and enjoy our selection of cocktails as our First Mate serves up a selection of Tropical drinks or other beverages. Our captains are all small vessel certified and licensed by Transport Canada.
Covid has taken its toll on travel, so our philosophy is, “If you can’t make it to Hawaii, we will bring Hawaii to you!”. Many living in the Ottawa Valley don’t have a boat but want to be on the water, or they simply want to try something new. Ottawa Tiki Boats will scratch that itch.
Our tours will last 90 minutes, starting at $60p/p including our daily sunset tours and specialty cruises. Full Tiki charter experiences are also available by the hour or day. The Tiki Boat will launch from Rockland Tiki Tours @ 300 Pigeon St. in Rockland. The boat will cruise down to the Cumberland Ferry and back to Thurso Ferry hugging the shore as onlookers’ hearts are filled with desire.
Our Tiki Tours are ideal for bachelorette & bachelor parties, family gatherings, corporate events, birthday parties and more! “Your imagination is our limit.”
