Our Crew
The Most Fun On Okanagan Lake
Jason Lloyd
Originally from the east coast of Canada he spent time working in the hospitality tourism industry in the Dominican Republic where he met his lovely co-owner wife Carolina. After both relocating to Canada where he worked many years in the oil & gas sector, he decided with his wife to get back into the tourism industry wanting to bring something fun and unique to the Okanagan making Tiki Time Tours became a reality! Jason is also a certified Transport Canada boat captain so you will see him on the water or the captain on your next Tiki Time tour!
Carolina Lloyd
Born and raised on the Caribbean Island of the Dominican Republic, Carolina always wanted to bring a piece of her native Caribbean island to the beautiful Okanagan. Having worked many years in the hospitality tourism industry in the Dominican Republic she decided with her husband to start a new fun local tour company that brings the warm friendly flavor of the Caribbean to the Okanagan. Carolina is not only owner of Tiki Time Tours but a certified Transport Canada boat captain so she may be the captain on your next Tiki Boat Tour or perhaps behind the wheel or hostess on your next winery or brewery tour aboard our Tiki Party Bus!

Captain Jay
Meet Captain Jay. Originally from Alberta, Jay moved to the Okanagan five years ago and quickly fell in love with the area's stunning scenery and vibrant community. When he's not out on the golf course or cruising on the lake, Jay can often be found singing along to every 90's boy band song you can think of. He has an infectious energy and loves to share his enthusiasm for life with those around him. Jay is a friendly and outgoing person who enjoys meeting new people and making connections.
Captain Brighton
Originally from Northern, Ontario. He moved to Alberta to work in the oil & gas industry for the last 11 years. After finding the passion of being close to the water, he went to school on Vancouver Island to become a boat captain and deckhand. Thankful of moving to the Okanagan, he is able to spend his days on and around the lake. Also very pleased to bring excitement and joy to any new comers who wish to enjoy the surrounding lakes and vineyards!
Captain Aaron
Originally from the West Coast of BC, Aaron has spent the last 18 years leading marine wildlife adventures around the world, starting his career on the coast of BC by bothering the Grizzly Bears and Killer Whales of our majestic coastal fjords. He then moved on to pester the Polar Bears of Hudson Bay and the Arctic before irritating the Elephants and Rhinos of South Africa, and p*ssing-off the penguins down in Antarctica. We hope it all goes smoothly with the Ogopogo.
Recently relocated to the beautiful Okanagan, Aaron holds a passenger vessel captain’s licence, once held a safari guide licence, and lives with his beautiful wife and his dog, Gus. (Sometimes he tickles Gus’s paws while he’s trying to sleep which makes Gus very cross indeed.)
Captain Dan
Dan is a former Commercial Diver and a retired Search & Rescue Manager and Trainer, specializing in inland Marine SAR. Dan has lived in the Okanagan for over 40 years and loves fishing, hiking, boating and of course diving. Look for him on (or under) the water.
