Take to Panama City's emerald Gulf waters aboard Ohana Water Adventures’ distinctive Tiki boats, where sunset cruises and dolphin sightings shape memorable coastal journeys.
Panama City, Florida, stretches out along the Gulf of Mexico with shimmering emerald waters and a coastline that beckons boaters and sea lovers alike. Ohana Water Adventures brings this vibrant maritime playground to life through its engaging fleet of Tiki boat tours. The company’s offerings range from 90-minute to 3-hour private or shared tours that combine sightseeing, wildlife spotting, and refreshing sea breezes along the region’s scenic shorelines.
Ohana Water Adventures stands apart in Panama City by offering authentic Tiki-style boats—crafts that blend Polynesian-inspired design with modern convenience. These tours provide a playful yet comfortable vantage point to soak in coastal views, including panoramic stretches of the Gulf, nearby beaches, and mangrove fringes. Many trips happen near the golden hour, allowing visitors to witness stunning sunsets paired with the chance to spot dolphins weaving through the waters.
The 1.5-hour Dolphin Sightseeing Power Boat Tour is especially popular, offering an opportunity to see these graceful marine mammals in their natural habitat alongside other birdlife and perhaps even sea turtles. For those looking for privacy or a longer journey, Ohana’s private 3-hour Tiki Tours open the door to customize stops or slow cruises through quieter inlets and near local landmarks.
