It all started with a 26ft U-Haul and a helpful landscaper…

Big Bear Tiki Tours was inspired by a desire to provide a luxury tour of Big Bear Lake with youthful energy and funky vibes. We strive to provide that fresh-on-vacation feeling in the form of a tiki boat and bar on Big Bear Lake. We want to incorporate the freedom you experience on tropical travels with the woodsy and laid-back culture of Big Bear Lake. You’ll find memorabilia from all over the world on board the Oso Grande including from Oregon, Hawaii, California, Florida, Indonesia, Vietnam, South Africa, Mexico, Japan and more.

The boat was designed with our guests’ every need in mind: from a spacious bathroom to comfortable seating to the sustainable, eco-friendly supplies behind the bar. Whether you’re with us for a short trip or the whole day, we stocked the Oso G. to be as comfortable as we would want it to be in your shoes. Don’t hesitate to ask for a blanket if you’re cold, a cold drink if you’re hot, or hints about the “Easter eggs” you might be lucky enough to find around the boat. Our staff are here to make this experience fun, safe, comfortable, and memorable.
