Incredible Tour

If you prefer an authentic and more intimate experience, this is the company for you. We had a fantastic trip! It was both exhilarating and educational. Our guide was very knowledgeable and keen to show off the Everglades for what it truly is – a wondrous ecosystem that we need to treasure and protect. We saw frogs, baby alligators, and birds. The scenery is breathtaking. Even our normally sulky teens were raving about it. An experience we’ll never forget, which was made all that more special by a considerate and professional guide. I recommend wholeheartedly!

-Georgina T. | TripAdvisor

Vacation Highlight

My wife, 8-year old daughter and I booked a 90-minute tour. Our guide was very engaging and knowledgable. Along the way, we stopped many times and saw all sorts of animals and plants up close including turtles and alligators (never felt dangerous). The whole experience from start to finish was stellar. Felt personal, ecologically focused, and loads of fun. It’s as wonderful as you’d expect zooming through the glorious Everglades. Will do again next time we visit and will be sure to book with these folks again. Highly recommended!

The best Miami boat tours

Cruise the coastline and weave through scenic Intracoastal waterways on one of these top Miami boat tours.

There are two types of people in Miami: the haves (a boat), and the have-nots ( sigh ). No one reading this is part of the first group, so we can all commiserate here. Yes, there’s plenty to see on land and lots of things to do in Miami , but the fact is if you’re not getting out on the water, you’re doing something wrong.

Best Miami boat tours

1.  Duck Tours South Beach

Duck Tours, like the mammals they’re named after, travel on land and water, which is the best way to experience South Beach. You’ll spend part of the 90-minute trip driving through South Beach and the Art Deco District. Then it’s wheels up and into Biscayne Bay for the amphibious vessel. A wise-cracking guide gives you the low-down along the way, including deets on Fisher Island and Millionaire’s Row. Even though food isn’t offered or permitted on board, passengers are allowed to carry on their own small alcoholic beverages.

2.  Speedboat Sightseeing Tour of Miami

Raise your hand if you like going fast on a boat? Ok, us, too. And this jet boat tour promises just that: 45 minutes of scenic cruising combined with pure adrenaline while you zip, spin and drift across blue coastal waters. You’ll take in the skyline, border the string of islands you’ve only seen from the highway till now and get back to shore faster than the time it’d take you to cross the causeway in a car.

3.  Fort Lauderdale Water Taxi

The Fort Lauderdale Water Taxi is not only a fun way to see the city, but it’s also a fairly practical transportation method to get around the so-called Venice of America. For a fun route, hop on at Oakland Park Boulevard and work your way to the historic Las Olas Boulevard, bar-hopping at waterfront eateries along the way. Your driver will point out the interesting bits as you pass them, like the Stranahan House, Broward County's oldest surviving structure, or Margaritaville, Jimmy Buffet's booze-themed resort. Since this is Fort Lauderdale, the boats have liquor licenses and will sell you cold, cheap beer along the way.

4.  Miami Millionaire’s Row Tour

Cruise through Biscayne Bay and experience Miami's water vibes. A local guide will take you along the turquoise water for you to marvel at vibrant architecture and see famous areas like the Port of Miami and Millionaire's Row - you'll see opulent celebrity mansions, too. The tour lasts 90-minutes and cocktails and snacks are available to purchase, too. Sounds incred. 

5.  Jungle Queen Riverboat Cruise

The Jungle Queen cruise has been operating since 1935, taking folks on a scenic tour of Fort Lauderdale’s winding waterways. And you can still book a trip on the Queen today, in all its original old Florida charm. Do some simple sightseeing or cruise to a private island and watch an alligator show. There’s a dinner cruise as well, featuring barbecue and a live variety show.

6.  Everglades Air Boat and Alligator Tour

Explore the Everglades’ vast and totally unique ecosystem while keeping a safe distance from the crocodiles, snakes and other creatures that inhabit the national park. These flat-bottom boats go fast, like hair-blowing-in-the-wind fast, but that’s part of the fun. Your tour along the River of Grass concludes with an alligator show on land, where you’ll get the chance to pose with a baby gator. We promise they’re totally adorable.

7.  Fort Lauderdale Cruisin’ Tikis Tour

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cruisin' Tikis™ (@cruisintikis)

Imagine a little island tiki hut that succumbed to a gnarly squall, got lost at sea and eventually floated its way up Fort Lauderdale’s New River. Cruisin’ Tikis tours launch from the Historic Downtowner bar and last anywhere from two to four hours. Why ride a boat to a bar when your boat can be the bar? Pack a cooler to bring aboard your private, petite tiki bar on the water. Partying with a larger group? Cruisin’ Tikis has a multi-boat fleet available so you can caravan up and down the river.

8.  Skyline Miami Cruise

Velvet ropes and bouncers can be a real buzzkill. Bypass the trappings of a night out in South Beach with a ride on this party cruise departing from Downtown Miami. The 80-minute cruise by Biscayne Bay and the Venetian Islands features a live DJ, a cash bar, snacks for purchase and plenty of neon lights to keep your lousy dance moves under wraps.

9.  Stiltsville Tour

Get a rare up-close view of Stiltsville, a curious Miami landmark of colorful, crumbling buildings originally built in the 1920s and '30s in the shallows on the northern end of Biscayne National Park. Available as part of a daily two-hour Biscayne Bay sightseeing tour or customizable as a private tour, you'll be treated to stunning views and authentic stories about the area’s history and culture by your captain, who is also a spirited local guide and longtime Miami resident. You might even spot a few dolphins while you’re out there.

10.  Pontoon Party Boat Tour

Pontoon boats aren’t just for relaxed afternoons on the lake, namely because South Florida doesn’t have many of those. But you can have your own adventure on the bay aboard a laidback vessel large enough for you and 9 friends. Your captained tour includes a large cooler containing soft drinks, speakers to connect to and snacks. You'll also have access to paddleboards, jet skis and a floating trampoline for maximum fun.

"Booked a three-hour trip for my 30th birthday trip with Aquarius Boat Rental and Tours Miami and it was beyond amazing! It was me and 7 of my friends. We fit perfectly in a boat that allows 10. We had Captain Fabian and he was awesome!

Super nice and took a million pictures for us! The views were beautiful. Highly recommend Aquarius Boat Rental and Tours! Will definitely use them again in the future"

Kathryn Rivera

"Captain Thibs did an incredible job piloting us on our charter. Captain Tibo greeted us 15 minutes before our charter. Went over some key safety information, then we began. He was very knowledgeable about navigating the route. Captain Tibo gave us valuable information on what we were looking at, including some cool history behind knowledge on how certain things came to be.

When the surf got a little rough he showed why you pay for a professional service. We were given detailed options on where we could go. My family and I chose what we believed to be the adventurous options and Captain Tibo delivered. Impressively enough we traveled a long distance within 3 hours including swimming off an island but yet returned to the dock precisely at our 3-hour mark.

Great experience. Inexpensive valet parking directly across the street at the Alexander Hotel. Short 3-minute walk to the dock. Thanks again Captain Tibo"

Andre Griffin

"We chose Aquarius boat tours during our stay in Miami and we absolutely do not regret our choice. We chose a 3-hour tour for 7 people.

Our captain Jon knew how to make us enjoy unforgettable moments! Jon was even able to find a place where we could see a dolphin up close!

Thanks also to Mylène who accompanied us during the online reservation as well as for the preparation of our tour. In short, I 100% recommend Aquarius Boat Tours!"

Miami Boat Tours: Biscayne Bay Cruises and More

• Attractions

Miami's majestic skyline, the homes of the rich and famous and beyond... A Biscayne Bay Cruise is an excellent way to enjoy some of the most spectacular views Miami has to offer.

Since the city is blessed with fabulous weather year-round, enjoying the sights from the water on a tropical sunny day is always a pleasant way specially for first-timers to discover our beautiful coastline and experience the pulse of the city, as this is one busy thouroughfare.

Huge cruise ships, speed boats, cargo containers, ferries, sail boats, jet skis, luxury yachts, all traverse the waters of the bay...

5 incredible day trips from Miami

Apr 26, 2024 • 6 min read

Miami may boast some of the best things to see and do in Florida , but it's also a great base for exploring some of the Sunshine State's other highlights.

Maybe a charming town and some unique experiences will take your fancy. Or you feel the need to get away from the hustle and bustle of Miami's busy streets (especially around spring break) to some wide open spaces.

While you may spot the occasional gator wandering out of a canal or have a muscovy duck come pester you at the local park, there much more impressive wildlife encounters beyond the city limits of Miami . No matter what you want out of a day trip from Magic City, we've got you covered.

1. Meet sea turtles in Juno Beach and Jupiter

Travel time: 1 hour and 30 minutes

For one of the best family day trips near Miami, venture north to Juno Beach and visit Loggerhead Marine Life Center , dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of local sea turtles. It's a great space for seeing these magnificent creatures up close.

For more adorable animal encounters, Jupiter's Loxahatchee River Center features interactive exhibits, touch tanks, and live aquatic tanks where visitors can view and learn about local marine ecosystems. You can also head to Blowing Rocks Preserve , where you can see the largest Anastasia limestone shoreline on the Atlantic, blasting saltwater upward of 50 feet into the air.

For family-friendly eats, stop in at Juno Beach Cafe or Jetty's Waterfront Restaurant (the latter of which has a fantastic view of the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse ), and Jupiter Donut Factory for a tasty treat.

How to get to Juno Beach and Jupiter from Miami:  It's possible to take the TriRail from Miami up to West Palm Beach and make the rest of the journey in a Lyft or cab. But the most convenient option is driving (yours or a rental).

2. Explore coral reefs in three ways in Key Largo

Travel time: 1 hour 30 minutes (driving), 3 hours (public transport)

Key Largo is home to John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park , a mostly underwater park home to brightly colored coral reefs that can be enjoyed in several ways. Get a glimpse via the underwater cam that live-streams into the nature center (and online) or book tickets for their renowned glass-bottom boat tours. Be aware these sell out quickly, but there are other glass-bottom boat tour providers near the park.

Those who prefer a closer look at the reefs are welcome to snorkel or even scuba dive in the park. You can easily spend a full day in Largo, and if you do, grab a seafood meal at a waterfront spot like Sundowners and Snooks, or something tucked away from the crowds like the quirky Mrs. Mac's.

How to get to Key Largo from Miami:  If you're anywhere near the Metrorail, it's possible to take it as far south as Dadeland, board the Route 38 bus further south and then transfer to the 301 (which can take you to Key Largo). If you're short on patience, shuttle buses like Greyhound and Flixbus can take you south slightly faster. Driving yourself is the quickest option for those short on time.

3. Have an all-day date in Fort Lauderdale

Travel time: 45 minutes

Less than an hour's journey north from Miami lies Fort Lauderdale – the perfect option for a quick romantic getaway.

Start with a stroll through the lush grounds of the Bonnet House , a quiet sanctuary complete with a butterfly garden. From there, whisper sweet nothings to your beau aboard the Las Olas Gondola  before sneaking in a romantic meal at Burlock Coast or The Katherine .

And finally, choose your own adventure: heart-pumping fun at Xtreme Action Park (complete with go-karts, laser tag and escape rooms), live entertainment at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts (musicals, plays, ballets and then some), or a bit of gambling, comedy and music at Seminole Hard Rock Casino .

How to get to Fort Lauderdale from Miami:  As is the case for most destinations in Florida, having your own vehicle gives you the best flexibility. However, you can visit Fort Lauderdale by booking a ticket on the Tri-Rail or Brightline train and then using a car-share service to get around town.

4. Get away from it all, Everglades style

Travel time: 60 to 90 minutes

This massive national park extends far beyond Miami-Dade County limits, and if you want to get the full experience, you'll need at least a day. Start your day at the Ernest F. Coe Visitor Center to learn about the park and then walk along some of their nearby paved trails (make sure to try a milkshake from Robert Is Here or some bites at Everglades Gator Grill along the way).

Shark Valley Visitor Center is another beginner-friendly spot – you can rest your legs on a tram tour, hire some bikes and explore the area on two wheels, or even opt for an airboat ride (try Miccosukee Airboats ).

You'll get plenty of opportunities to see alligators, anhingas, turtles and more at either center, but if you want a more immersive experience, drive south to Flamingo, where hiking trails, kayaking, boating, camping and even on-site dining and accommodations ( Flamingo Lodge and Restaurant , should you feel so inclined) can all be found.

How to get to Everglades National Park from Miami:  Unfortunately, there are no public transit options to get from Miami to any of the Everglades visitor centers. Depending on traffic, it's just over an hour's drive west of Miami.

5. Explore a Bahamian island via golf cart in Bimini

Travel time: 2 hours and 40 minutes

Whether you've lived in South Florida a while or are just visiting, you may have wondered, "Can I day trip to the Bahamas from Miami?" The answer is yes! The journey is a bit longer than the rest of these day trips, involving a quick journey north to Fort Lauderdale and hopping on a ferry to Bimini.

Once there, you can rent a golf cart to explore all you can during your full day on the island. Snorkel around the wreckage of the Sapona (a concrete ship built during WWI), dine on conch at Joe's Conch Shack or grab a slice at Edith's Pizza, snap photos of the art at the Dolphin House Museum, and bask in the sun at Radio Beach.

You can also rent a day pass at Resorts World Bimini to enjoy their casino and other on-site amenities (but be warned, this might make you want to extend your trip for another day or two).

How to get to Bimini from Miami:  If you own a boat (or know someone who does), it's possible to sail to Bimini. If not, take the Brightline train to reach Fort Lauderdale in 40 minutes and then board the  Balearia ferry service for quick and easy passage to the island (don't forget to pack your passport).

Absolutely amazing service the guy was super cool and let us switch on an as many times as we want couldn't have asked for a better time

Was a bit sketchy at first but they provided everything that we paid for. They will communicate via phone, and have you meet them for transport to jet ski site. Everything was on point and professional. The boat ride over was smooth and a great scenic ride. I would give them 5 stars, but the initial process gave me doubts, but they came through with the come through. The girls had a great time and the jet skis were in great condition. You can count on them.

Florida authorities warn of shark dangers along Gulf Coast beaches after 3 people are attacked

(AP) — Authorities are using boats to patrol the ocean and warning swimmers about sharks this weekend along Florida’s Gulf Coast, where a woman and two teenage girls were hurt in two separate shark attacks on Friday.

The attacks off beaches in the Florida Panhandle led authorities to temporarily close several beaches to swimmers on Friday. Beaches were reopened Saturday, with flags warning of high hazards.

“All I can say is that these incidents are very rare,” said Demian Chapman, a scientist and director of the Center for Shark Research at the Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium in Sarasota, Florida.

“It’s even more rare to have two events in one day involving three people,” he told The Associated Press on Saturday. “That’s astronomically low odds of that happening.”

In Walton County, the sheriff’s office, fire department and the state’s wildlife agency were working together to patrol the water with boats and the shore with vehicles, the South Walton Fire District said in an update Saturday. Both of Friday’s attacks happened in Walton County.

“Please swim carefully today, respect the Gulf, stay hydrated, and look out for your loved ones,” the fire department said on social media.

Red and purple flags were being used Saturday to warn swimmers of the dangers.

“Purple Flags indicate the presence of dangerous marine life and single red flags indicate high hazard conditions,” the Bay County Sheriff’s Office said in a social media post on Saturday.

Small fish are traveling in schools near the shore this time of year, which might have been a contributing factor in the attacks, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office said.

The first attack happened Friday afternoon when a woman was bitten by a shark near WaterSound Beach, the Walton County Sheriff’s Office said. She had critical injuries on her midsection and arm, and part of her arm had to be amputated, South Walton Fire Chief Ryan Crawford said at a news briefing. She was flown to a trauma center.

Less than two hours later, firefighters responded to another beach about 4 miles (6.4 kilometers) east of the first attack “following multiple reports of a teenager injured by a shark,” the sheriff’s office said.

Two teenage girls were in waist-deep water with a group of friends when they were attacked, the South Walton Fire District said.

“When lifeguards and deputies arrived on scene, they found one of the females had significant injuries to the upper leg and one hand,” fire officials said in an update. She was flown to a trauma center. The other teen had what officials described as minor injuries on one of her feet.

The two teenagers are from Mountain Brook, Alabama, a suburb of Birmingham, Mountain Brook City Manager Sam Gaston told the news site Al.com.

There’s no way of knowing whether it was one shark or two separate ones involved in Friday’s attacks, but there are more sharks in the Gulf of Mexico than in past years, Chapman said.

“There’s definitely been a recovery of sharks in the Gulf after many years of overfishing,” he said. “They’re sort of out there again after being depleted quite a bit.”

The time of the attacks — in the middle of the afternoon — was also an anomaly, Walton County Sheriff Michael Adkinson said. Sheriff’s officials often warn people to be aware of sharks early in the morning and at dusk, their typical feeding times, he noted.

On Saturday, Walton County sheriff’s deputies patrolling the waters in a boat spotted a 14-foot hammerhead shark near Santa Rosa Beach, which they said is not unusual. Sheriff’s officials say they don’t know what type of shark attacked the swimmers on Friday.

“We want to reiterate that sharks are always present in the Gulf,” the sheriff’s office said in a Saturday post on social media. “Swimmers and beachgoers should be cautious when swimming and stay aware of their surroundings.”

Also Friday, in Hawaii, a woman was seriously injured in an apparent shark attack in the waters off the island of Oahu, officials said.

Shark attacks are rare, according to experts. There were 69 unprovoked bites last year worldwide, and 10 of those were fatal, according to the University of Florida’s International Shark Attack File. That was higher than the recent average of six deaths per year.

Diddy gets loving shout-out from fans near miami home amid investigation, diddy loving shout-out from fans still the people's champ.

Diddy might be in the crosshairs of the feds right now -- and he may even be getting wrecked on social media -- but in real life ... it would appear the people still love him.

The hip-hop mogul has been laying low at his Star Island home in Miami ever since his two properties got raided -- stepping out here and there in public -- but on Sunday, there was yet another sign that folks still hold him in high regard ... at least in the Miami area anyway.

Take a look at this footage ... it was shot Sunday as a group of people were cruising by Diddy's estates there on the private island, and as you can see -- onlookers were starstruck.

Diddy could be seen strolling around outside of one of his homes there -- he owns two adjacent properties on Star Island, BTW -- and he was waving and smiling, not to mention interacting with the boat that was cruising by ... with each party exchanging pleasantries.

Just as we've seen for these past several days ... Diddy isn't really hiding right now, even though he's facing a very serious situation as the feds dig into heavy allegations against him. Remember ... just the other day, he went out for a bike ride in broad daylight by himself.

Even there ... he ran into a group of locals on the road, and they were singing his praises.

So the question ... what's the temperature on the Diddy sitch with the public right now? If you check X -- it would appear most people have turned on him ... that, or they're just down to mock and ridicule him, which has been happening ever since the raids 2 weeks ago.

When it comes to his A-list friends -- many of whom have partied with him and enjoyed his company during the good times -- they've by and large remained silent through all this .

On the ground, however, it seems he still has fans/defenders -- which is interesting. Time will tell if this changes as time goes on -- but for now, it feels like Diddy is beloved in FL.

The saga continues ...
