Miami as a Whole.
Damion_C, Mar 2023
I wanted to get a good glimpse of Miami and was able to. It was a very fun and exciting experience. I wanted to see why everyone loves Miami and was left speechless. It is and would be a good experience for anyone who may have similar thoughts.
The most amazing time of my life
Casey_W, Mar 2023
This was the most fun adventure I had in Miami. The staff were super nice and flexible. Riding the jet ski was exciting and liberating. We got to see all of the bay and drive really fast! I was really surprised at how much fun they let us have while using the ski, and I have never ridden a jet ski before. An instructor guides the tour and rides with you, so you are always safe. The team is bilingual, which was perfect for my partner who only speaks Spanish. An absolutely amazing experience!
Must Experience

Worth it.
Nina_T, Mar 2023
It exceeded our expectations. It was fun and fast. Five high school boys and my husband-two thumbs up! for sure- hold tight to your phones and sunglasses or stick them in your pocket or fanny pack. Bring some cash for tipping driver and tour guide. I do wish for more of the tour guide pointing out sites to us. More history the better! And I couldn’t really tell if he was pulling our legs about celebrity homes or not. We are doing this again!!

Terrible customer service
Jenny_C, Mar 2023
Tried ringing to say we were going to be literally 2 mins late and they said it was okay ans promised they would wait until 7:05, when we arrived at 7:02 they had just left the pier and told us No after telling us it was okay. They then refused to help us reschedule at a time which suited us and gave us one option which was no good as we were not going to be in Miami.
Amazing
