Lowco Tiki operates out of Port Royal, South Carolina, offering short, guided Tiki boat experiences across local waterways. The company provides four signature trips designed for leisure: Sunset (a two-hour cruise to enjoy lowcountry sunsets), Happy Hour (a two-hour BYOB Tiki tour), Start Your Day Right (a morning cruise through Port Royal and Beaufort), and Afternoon Delight (a 1.5-hour midday ride). Each outing runs with a licensed captain at the helm, ensuring passenger safety and local navigation expertise.
Onboard amenities focus on comfort and convenience. Guests have access to a cooler for drinks and snacks and a Bluetooth sound system for personal playlists. The Happy Hour tour specifically highlights BYOB bar-style enjoyment, while other trips encourage guests to bring favorite beverages and cameras to capture wildlife and scenery.
