I was born and raised in sunny Southern California and will never tire of the West Coast, although I spent several years living in Southeast Asia, about as far from California as you can get. Wherever I am in the world, I love straying from the beaten path, experiencing local life, and discovering hidden gems - camera in hand. The beach is my happy place and when I am not there (or writing), you will usually find me baking, watching movies, and cuddling my pugs. I have traveled around the country and around the world, and it never, ever gets old. Being able to combine my passion for travel and my love of writing is nothing short of a dream.
Southern California’s Newport Harbor is one of the country’s biggest recreational harbors and offers a multitude of fun activities in a stunning setting with deep blue water dotted with yachts and sailboats and spectacular views of stunning homes, tropical palm trees, the quaint and colorful Balboa Island, and more. Enjoy this beautiful location in a whole new way when you turn it into a tropical oasis on a floating tiki bar in Newport Beach, CA.
Newport Beach Tikis offers a one-of-a-kind floating tiki bar experience cruising around the calm waters of the picturesque Newport Harbor.
Charter a tiki for an unforgettable date night, a relaxing day or evening with friends, a bachelorette party, a graduation, an anniversary, or nearly any other celebration with family or friends. You can even plan a private tiki wedding!
Each tiki boat can accommodate a maximum of six guests in addition to the crew. However, if you would like to have a bigger group, you have the option of booking multiple tikis and cruising out together.
Don’t forget to bring some of your favorite tunes! The tiki boats are outfitted with Bluetooth-capable JBL 4 speaker systems so you can connect your phone or device and play your own cruise soundtrack.

Several evening and night cruises are available, from the sunset cruise that sets out to watch the sun go down over the water to The Nightcap which lets you party the night away. You can even have the tiki drop you off at your favorite location to keep the fun going.
Your cruise rental comes with a fully vetted and trained boat captain, each having been chosen because of their boating experience and knowledge of this beautiful area. You just have to show up and enjoy the ride.
Families are welcome to book a cruise so kids don’t have to miss out on this unique experience. Children under 12 years old must wear a life jacket while onboard. Newport Beach Tikis offers pet-friendly cruises too!
This is YOUR tiki bar, meaning you decide the menu, from food and snacks to cocktails. Newport Beach Tikis provides a cooler, ice, water, and soft drinks. The rest is up to you.
You can bring anything you and your cruise-mates want to enjoy onboard, whether you bring it from home or purchase food and drinks from local restaurants. You can even order sushi right on the dock from Buddha’s Favorite.
