Laconia, New Hampshire, sits in the heart of the Lakes Region, dominated by the expansive and shimmering Lake Winnipesaukee. This vast, clear waterbody offers one of New England’s most inviting summer playgrounds, but Tiki Hut Boats of NH brings a fresh and lively twist to the lake experience. Offering a fleet of floating tiki huts, their tours range from 90-minute public cruises to private charters that allow groups to set their own pace and vibe on the water. Whether it’s the laid-back ‘Reggae Night’ or the festive ‘Fireworks Cruise,’ each trip turns a day on the lake into a distinctive event.
What sets this company apart is the casual, social atmosphere combined with the natural beauty surrounding Lake Winnipesaukee. You’ll float effortlessly past quiet, forested shorelines punctuated by sparkling sandy beaches, catching glimpses of waterfowl such as loons and swans—both the real kind and the inflatable party float versions, as one delighted guest discovered. Captains like Jim, Mark A., and Chad are praised for their personable nature, local knowledge, and ability to accommodate everything from birthday celebrations to bachelor parties. With BYOB allowed and space for coolers, the focus remains on fun and flexibility.
The tiki huts themselves are stable, open-air vessels with shade, music, and room to socialize, making them perfect for those who want to be on the water without the hassle of driving or the intensity of watersports. The company emphasizes safety, briefing passengers on equipment and ideal spots on the lake to anchor and relax.
Located a short walk from free parking designated for Tiki Hut guests, this outfit provides a distinct alternative to traditional boat rentals or crowded tour boats. In a region rich with hiking and paddling options, it offers a mellow, convivial way to connect with the lake's natural side and local culture. Whether you’re after sunset drinks, a day party, or a fireworks show from the water, Tiki Hut Boats of NH delivers a memorable ride on one of New Hampshire’s most cherished lakes.
