Ride Fort Lauderdale’s waterways all day, with live commentary, 20 stops, beach access, dining, shopping, and a Hollywood connection.

“We had a fantastic day on the water taxi! It’s a great way to enjoy a day on the water for a reasonable price. We learned a little about the area, had a couple of beverages, and enjoyed the beautiful weather and scenery. If you want to do all three sections of the route, get an early start. We left Hollywood at 10am on the first boat, stopped at Las Olas for an hour for lunch, then continued all the way to Pompano Beach, making the required boat changes. We stopped at Bokampers for an hour for dinner on the way back at returned to Hollywood by 8pm. The evening…”

Miami: Hop-on Hop-off Open-top Bus Tour and Optional Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 3,077 reviews · from $45

Explore Miami by open-top bus, cruise Millionaires Row, and see South Beach, Little Havana, Wynwood, and downtown by day and night.

“The activity was ok. There was a lot of confusion related to starting hours, place to be etc. I had a 2 days ticket and maybe this made it a bit more complicated. But the person from the bus station was totally unprepared and unwilling to clarify for us the answer to a simple question, that would have probably taken a few seconds max… So, except for the confusion created by the people from the stations who gave us different answers to the same questions, the tour was ok.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,968 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $65

See Miami by private boat at night, with skyline views, your own music, drinks on ice, and a captain-led route through the bay.

“Really cool to explore Miami! Private Boat Tour on New Years Eve. Walter was a great captain and our family really enjoyed ourselves cruising the harbour at night time. Top tip: If going in December, bring a blanket or really warm practical clothes. It gets quite cold. I would also opt for a sunset time or midnight if I had a preference. It also doesn't include the the Captains Fee of $70 plus tip, just be mindful of that. There's also quite a bit of paperwork to fill in beforehand.”

“An interesting tour with entertaining and enthusiastic guide. Saw some good sights. For us stopping at a cigar shop and being left in the vicinity for lunch in an area where we needed to get an Uber to get somewhere more central was not ideal. That was to us, a waste of time. The tour…recommended.”

Review of Miami’s 3-in-1 tour with a city bus ride, Biscayne Bay cruise, and Everglades airboat adventure, including honest planning tips.

“The location where tour starts is an unorganized mess! No one is really in charge. They’d rather be snacking on food and talking! They never clearly explained how we were doing all three tours. It was piecemeal information and all tours started late. We did not see any alligators on Everglades ride except the caged ones! Bus tour was hard to understand guide as she had three different languages she was using and had a strong accent herself. Besides having 30 kids on bus yelling and screaming to people on the street! Boat tour was ok but didn’t show much! Boat was playing rap music so loud!! Get a different…”

“I had a wonderful time in Key West. My 1st time ever going and the the tour company made my experience very pleasant. I was picked up & dropped off at my hotel for a small fee (well worth it). You some for a quick breakfast that you can bring on the bus. The driver stayed on schedule & the guide was really cool & told us about landmarks as we drove past the areas. The island was amazing; so much to do & see in 6 hours. Leaving made me wanting more & wanting to go back to learn more about the historic ppl, places or things. The food…”
