CAYO COSTA • PRIVATE FULL-DAY ISLAND ESCAPES
Cayo Costa Boat Excursions from Cape Coral
Trade the busy shoreline for a private Big Tiki day toward one of Southwest Florida's most remote barrier islands. Cayo Costa is reached by boat, so the ride, the water and the beach all become part of the day.
QUICK ANSWER
Can Big Tiki Tours take us to Cayo Costa?
Yes. Cayo Costa can be part of a full-day private island excursion when weather, water, park access and route timing make it practical. Cayo Costa State Park is accessible only by boat or kayak, so getting there is part of the experience.

The farther you go, the quieter the day gets.
Cayo Costa State Park protects roughly nine miles of undeveloped Gulf shoreline. It is a destination for crews who want open water, beach time, shelling, swimming and a more natural Southwest Florida day away from the busiest waterfront stops.
THE RIDE COUNTS TOO
Make the route part of the memory.
This is a longer island experience, not a quick sightseeing loop. Start in Cape Coral, settle in with your crew, enjoy the ride and let current conditions help shape the best route for the day you booked.
SLOW DOWN ON PURPOSE
Come for the beach. Stay because nobody is rushing you.
A Cayo Costa day is less about checking boxes and more about giving your crew time to enjoy the island. When conditions and access allow, the day can include swimming, beachcombing, relaxing on the sand and keeping an eye out for coastal wildlife.

A real state park means current conditions matter.
Cayo Costa is a protected state park. Access, facilities and open areas can change, so final stop plans depend on current park guidance, weather, water conditions and captain judgment. Bring what your group needs and respect posted park rules.
