Description

Come join us on the water, create memories and photo ops that will last a lifetime on the most photographed vessel in the harbor in the world famous Crab Island. Nothing will compare to the smiles and waves you'll get cruising through the Destin Harbor on the Original Tiki Bar Boats on your way to Crab Island. Once there, your Captain will drop the anchor and the swim ladder for you to enjoy a truly Destin experience. We provide a cooler, ice, cups/shot glasses, bottle openers and bottled water. We do also have floats for you but you are free to bring your own as we do have pumps on board. Bring your own beverages and snacks and enjoy! We DO NOT serve or sell alcohol and it is illegal to purchase or receive alcohol on Crab Island. You are welcome to bring your own and glass bottles are OK!

Cancelled due to Viator app not getting info to tour guide

Excursion was canceled by company because Viator app supposedly didn’t give them the information needed to book our tour. I had tickets and was checked in at desk but had not been assigned to a boat. They told me I could go the next day but wasn’t able. Was told I would get all my money back but that hasn’t happened yet.

Reservation Mismanagement

Our reservation was originally confirmed for 3:30 PM. On July 1, less than seven days before our scheduled excursion, we were contacted and informed that our reservation had been affected due to your company overbooking by 11 passengers. We were advised that our original reservation could not be honored. Because this notification occurred outside of your stated seven-day cancellation/refund policy, we were left with virtually no reasonable alternatives. Rather than canceling altogether, we reluctantly accepted the only available option offered to us a 9:00 AM reservation in an effort to salvage our plans. Afterward, we were informed that the change was due to staffing shortages, specifically that two captains had emergencies. While we certainly understand that emergencies occur, those circumstances are operational issues that should not be transferred to paying customers. What is especially concerning is that your company is now denying our refund request by citing the same seven-day refund policy that your company itself was unable to comply with. Had we been notified more than seven days in advance, we would have had the opportunity to make other arrangements or cancel under your policy. Instead, your company notified us after that deadline had already passed, eliminating our ability to make an informed decision. It is fundamentally unfair to enforce a policy against customers when the company’s own actions prevented compliance with that policy. A refund policy is intended to protect both parties not to penalize customers for circumstances entirely outside of their control.
