Birthdays

PaddleTap is proud to offer private tours on all of our party boats! These one-of-a-kind Tiki Boats, Origional Pedal Boat, or Two Level Party Pontoons that can be rented out on Excelsior Bay or Spring Park on Lake Minnetonka!

Take a peek at all our boating options and which locations they start from. You will truly love this experience for any Bachelorette, Birthday or Corporate outing!

All Private tours in 2026 will be a flat per boat pricing, and our per seat option is only open for shared/public options this year.

No minimum to reserve a private tour, you rent the entire boat!

Our lowest option will be on our Sunday Funday, if you want a deal....thats the day you want to set sail!

Looking to just get out on the water with some friends? Don't want to reserve a full boat? Or maybe its just a date night out on Lake Minnetonka? Don't worry our public tours are perfect for you!

Grab a seat on either our TikiTap or PaddlePub boats. These boats are the EXACT same boats as our private tours, they just allow you to reserve a few seats if you don't want to purchase all 10 tickets to reserve. Or just admit it, you like to mingle with other folks and have a good time.

Our public tours last 2 hour long, and cost roughly $55/seat, we do require at least 6 public seats to book to guarantee to go out, but that typically always fills so don't worry to much. They are all BYOB that comes with a private boat captain and bluetooth music. Typically private tours allow the guests to switch off who is playing the tunes, or the captain can have a play list.

Paddle or Cruise around Lake Minnetonka getting up and close with the big homes that the Lake has to offer. Experience bays that the larger charter boats cannot get into by booking one of our Public Tours.
