We had an awesome experience!! It was a very big ship, nice and clean with food and drink to buy. We were able to go out on the deck and to the back of the ship. Amazing price and really worth it the experience! Very friendly narrator. He was humorous and very informative.

We had a terrific time on the water, it was our first time jet skiing as well and our guide was very professional and courteous to walk us through everything.

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

Highly recommended! Great and interesting information about Miami. Nice views of the city.

Great experience for sure. Can’t wait to bring my other family and friends.
