Incredibilmente favoloso! Una giornata all’insegna del divertimento, scoperta e relax! Il viaggio purtroppo è lungo, ma ne vale la pena! All’andata anche una sosta per la colazione al McDonald. Dopo il giro il centro tra negozi, ci si imbarca per l’avvistamento dei delfini che si sono avvicinati alla barca, come per salutarci: FAVOLOSO. Poi siamo scesi dalla barca per un po’ di snorkeling e ci siamo divertiti anche lì a guardare il fondale della barriera corallina. Dopo essere risaliti in barca, un ottimo aperitivo offerto dai responsabili della barca che sono stati veramente eccezionali in tutto! Esperienza da fare assolutamente. Enjoy

Boat ride over was nice and relaxing. Once you get to the skis, it's a wild ride... in a good way. This was my wife's first time ever going out, and the laid back attitude of the crew was very calming. Perfect for both experienced riders or first timers because the free ride time allows you to be as cautious or as daring as you want to be (within the rules of course). Would definitely do this again.

An incredible tour in the bay of Miami, view of Miami Skyline, the islands, and Miami River... We even saw dolphins in the bay !!! The boat was very spacious and modern and the Capitaine Charlie was very nice with a lot of explanations! A great experience that I recommend to all those who want to mark their stay! Thanks again to our captain Charlie!

Der Bus hat uns leider erst nicht gefunden, doch als wir angerufen haben waren alle sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Uns wurde ein Uber geschickt, das uns zum Treffpunkt des Buses fuhr. Der Busfahrer war super nett, wir konnten noch die Schnorcheltour buchen, die absolut empfehlenswert ist! Insgesamt war es ein sehr schöner Tag mit holprigem Start.

We had so much fun. Would definitely recommend this tour to everyone
