About this tour

Settle into a spacious tiki boat and watch the Emerald Coast glow as the sun goes down. This 90-minute, adult-only cruise brings you across Panama City Beach’s Grand Lagoon and past the inlet at Shell Island, with a chance to spot dolphins in clear coastal waters.

The Big Kahuna offers a comfortable way to take in the scenery, with cups, ice, a cooler, bottled water, and an onboard restroom. The cruise is BYOB, so bring your preferred drinks and a valid ID if you plan to consume alcohol. You may also bring a small cooler and snacks. Arrive at least 15 minutes early and check in before departure; summer traffic can be heavy.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.94 from 94 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Panama City Beach
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.4. Top 19% in Panama City Beach means it ranks in the top 19% of tours in Panama City Beach by this score.
