This was my first time in Miami and this is by far the best way to see the city. The crew is really professional and helpful. The restroom was very clean. And there tour guide was bilingual which actually helped a lot for my mom that doesn’t speak English perfectly! Highly recommend the tour even if it’s not your first time in Miami. It’s a great activity to spend time with family and kinda love it!

Great way to experience the bay and surrounding islands and the architecture of Miami. Tour in Spanish and English and well done.

Adventures by land and by sea in one ride! Unique experience that was enjoyed by adults and children in the group.
