Cruise Tampa’s Hillsborough River aboard a floating tiki bar, with skyline views, a captain, cooler, and Bluetooth radio.

About this tour

See downtown Tampa from the water aboard a floating tiki bar. This 90-minute Tampa Tiki Boat Cruise follows the Hillsborough River past city skyscrapers and along Tampa’s Riverwalk, offering a relaxed way to enjoy the waterfront with your group.

A USCG-certified captain takes the helm while you settle in with drinks or snacks you bring from home. The boat comes equipped with a cooler and ice, plus a Bluetooth radio so you can play your own music as the city drifts by. With the river, skyline, and Riverwalk all part of the view, the cruise makes a memorable outing without a stop at a land-based bar.

Meet at the dock in front of the Water Park and climb aboard for a laid-back look at Tampa. Bring your favorite refreshments, gather your group, and enjoy the city from your own floating tiki bar.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.69 from 405 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 Tampa
  • 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 6.1.
