Great tour operator, couldn't have asked for better!
The beach is beautiful with lots of shops and restaurants nearby, so there are lots of things to do.

The two day tour to miami is well worth doing and was a high-light for our holiday, the everglade air boat ride is great but is over too soon, the small animal park is fun to look around and is educational. We did not do the dolphin swim as we did discovery cove, this allowed us to fully explore miami beach, the old fashioned diner on 11 th street is a must, food was great. At rhe end of the beach is south point, this is very scenic and has a small park for the kids. The star boat tour is worth doing, you get to see how the other half live and we saw a number of dolphins in the bay area. Over all you are well looked after, the tour guide gave us loads of useful info and made the trip memorable. My advise, is do this trip, you will not regret it, its a great way to chill whilst away from the theme parks

Loved this tour. We were staying in Orlando but also wanted to experience Miami without a lengthy expensive hotel stay. Our tour guide (Madeline)and driver (Herman) were polite, friendly and entertaining. The drive there was enjoyable, with a rest stop and inboard movie provided. The airboat ride was a lot of fun even in unfavourable weather. We were also given a brief history on both Orlando and Miami and had important/interesting land marks pointed out along the way. The hotel we stayed at "The Catalina" was comfortable and surpassed my expectations (knowing the cost of the tour vs Miami hotel rates). The location of the hotel was great (close to the beach) and allowed us to maximise the short stay. The tour also coincided with a NBA game we wanted to see which was fantastic. We didn't do the optional Dolphin swim part of this tour, but those who did on our bus said they thoroughly enjoyed it.

The tour guide was great. Fantastic value for money. had a wonderful time.

Thanks to everyone for the best event of our holiday. We recommend this highly.

excellent two day trip with friendly and knowledgeable guides. Everything organised and went like clockwork. Would highly recommend. Swimming with dolphins was awesome.

It was a very nice day. Great

The trip was flawless, our guide Dennis was awesome, and lunch was delicious.

Fantastic two days but not advisable for people with young children as it is a long coach journey.

Our trip started off in Orlando when the bus picked us up - we travelled down to Miami via the airboat ride with a couple of comfort break stops along the way unfortunately it was pouring with rain but we went out on the airboats anyway was fun but we were soaked through. The hotel in Miami was lovely and well situated.close to the beach. The dolphin trip was great fun I had expected loads of people to be there and it to be very busy but we were the only coach party there. Swimming with the dolphins was a one in a lifetime experience someone from the dolphin centre took loads of photos that you can view after your swim you can purchase individual photos or a cd - although the cd seemed pricey at $79 + tax for 2 people swimming there were over 100 photos on it and well worth the money - would definately recommend trip

we had a wonderful time on this excursion. the dolphins were obviously amazing. the airboat ride was so good we just wished it could have lasted a little longer. out guide Madeline was fantastic full of knowledge of the area it's history and people; nothing was too much trouble for her.

The Orlando crowds were wearing me out. This day trip was such a great getaway for a day. I was worried we'd get bored having so many hours at the beach as we did not do any of the activities but we had no trouble using them up. Our driver was very professional and courteous, and the motorcoach was right on time and had comfortable seating and was nice and cool. We got to listen to a light rock/pop station on the way and back. When we got to the beach, driver instructions to everyone were very clear on when and where to meet back up. He dropped us off at the restaurant, so we could see where it was. By the way, it says a picnic lunch is included on some of the descriptions, but it is actually a voucher to go to a restaurant across the street from the beach. They have a shortened version of the menu with sandwiches, burgers, salads, pastas, etc that you can choose from. There are several souvenir shops near the restaurant if you are looking for shirts, postcards, or other souvenirs. This is not the best shelling beach, but the sand is so white and soft. We enjoyed walking down Pier 60 and taking pics of the pelicans. There is a marina across the street from the beach that is interesting to walk along as in the afternoon you can watch some of the fishermen cutting up their catches as the pelicans crowd around wanting some scraps. There is also a store and playground next to Pier 60 where kids can play and you can get a drink and other souvenirs and convenience type items. So glad we did the day trip. It was worth every penny.

Relax on the bus, have no hustle, relax from Disney. Really good lunch at the restaurant. Weather was bad, red flags, could not go swimming or go to the gulf of Mexico because of high winds and strong current (unusual). Still went to see some dolphins on the boat, just not on the Gulf of Mexico. And also saw some celebritiy houses. Still enjoyed ourselves, hadf a great time. Workers on boat - nice and funny!

Fantastic, loved it, this is a must :-)

One word...... Fantastic....... would definitely book with this company. we had no problems and for value for money was 10/10. we would book this trip again when we are next out there.
