Had a great time with friends for a dusk boat ride around the harbor. Sites were beautiful. Drinks were delicious. I highly recommend getting some friends together and doing this! Oh and they have good music too! Lastly, yes there is a bathroom on board!

Loved this 7:30 tour. Such a different experience as the sun sets. I need to check out the other tours offered by this company. I've been on this 3 times, the last being a private booking. Each trip was a lot of fun. The private charter was longer, took a different route so we got to see things the previous tours did not.

Thought we booked a ride for just our family because of how the website worded it. Ended up having a boat full of people not part of our party. So we distanced ourselves. Other than that minor misunderstanding, we had a blast! The drinks were very good and the prices were decent. My problem is that the ride was kind of boring. I thought we were going into the harbor and would get a nice view of the coast. But instead we stayed down towards the silos and there honestly wasn't much to see or experience. I would book a tour again if they do a different route. But until then, probably wouldn't bother. The staff was nice and the accept cash and card. Just was kind of a boring trip over all.

My husband and I did this boat cruise last night with a group of friends. It was a blast. The weather was great. The boat was comfortable. The drinks were good. There was a wide variety of music. Something for everyone. It was just a nice evening cruising out on the water with friends. There is a small restroom on board. But I would recommend going before or after if you can. Cash or card are taken for the drinks. I would recommend this place for a nice date night or a fun night with the girls.

Sunset on the lake

The staff and music made the evening so enjoyable and fun. The drinks were delicious and the views were beautiful.

This was a great ride! It's smooth and quaint. It has life vests, rain covers and alcohol! What else do you need? We came for a bachelorette party and it was a very nice mix of people.

Had a private party for husbands birthday. Everyone had such a great time. Captain and bar tender were so friendly. Would recommend.

All Aboard Buffalo Tiki Tours: Experience the Queen City on the water

'Water' you doing this weekend?

How about going for a float on Buffalo Tiki Tours!

The floating tiki huts coast out along Buffalo's waterfront and Canalside, offering riders a beatiful view of the city's landscape and landmarks like the Labatt grain silos. 

The tour is a BYOB cruise only available at RiverWorks, where passengers can grab a few drinks to bring unto the tiki hut and enjoy a serene 60-minute experience. 

The boat also has an on-board sound system so passengers can set their own mood: from laid-back relaxed ambient sound to fist-bumping house music. 

The aquatic adventure offers sunset cruises and weekend cruises for $30 a person. Co-owner Craig Schultz says visitors can rent the boats for however long they like. 

The tours even have a minister for customers hoping to ring wedding bells on the waterfront!

The boat has life jackets, first aid kits, a licensed captain, and is U.S. Coast Guard certified.

Here in Buffalo, one of the things we anticipate most about the summertime is being able to get out onto the water while the sun is out and shining. While many of our favorite boat excursions are opening back up for the year, just as many have announced that they won’t be operating during the 2020 season as the coronavirus continues to sweep through the state. Thankfully for us here in the Queen City, a brand new tour has just begun running along the river, so grab your friends and family and head towards the water, it’s time to experience the Big Kahuna!
