Ocean Friendly Certification by Ocean Allies
It makes sense for all businesses this close to our gorgeous oceans to do their part in keeping our resources clean!
In February 2019, we made the decision to get The Tropics Boat Tours Ocean Friendly Certified. With the help of Ocean Allies, a local 501c3 Charity whose goal is to help businesses reduce their impact on the environment, we embarked on the journey towards zero waste.
Our improvements include:
- No straws to help prevent them from countless times going into our waters.
- We recycle! You will see blue recycling cans on board, which are emptied daily into the Marina container.
- No plastic straws available - paper straws are available upon request.
- We no longer distribute single-use plastic leis after our tours.
Although we are very proud of our accomplishments so far, we know that this is just a start!

The window for using the Groupon was 12/19/11 thru 12/26/11. When we booked the 12/25/11 tour, we were informed of a $5.00, Christmas, per person surcharge. With such a small window, one would think that Groupon or Tropics Boat Tours would have made sure that this condition was known to all prior to our purshase.
