OBX Tiki Time was launched with a vision to offer something completely unique and unforgettable in the Outer Banks. Inspired by our love of the water, island vibes, and community, we created a one-of-a-kind floating Tiki boat experience that brings people together to relax, laugh, and soak up the magic of the Outer Banks. Whether you’re spotting dolphins, learning local history, exploring nature and wildlife, or cruising into a glowing sunset, our custom-built Tiki boat offers the perfect setting for unforgettable memories.
We’re a small, passionate team of Outer Banks locals who take pride in sharing this special place with others. Our captains are US Coast Guard-certified, safety-trained, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area’s waters, wildlife, and history. From booking to boarding, we go out of our way to make sure every guest feels welcome, safe, and part of the OBX Tiki Time family.
We offer public tours and private charters, with options for dolphin watching, sightseeing, nature and wildlife cruises, local history tours, and unforgettable sunset cruises. All trips depart from our dock on the Manteo waterfront. Perfect for family, couples or groups. Feel free to bring drinks and snacks!
