Best boat tour - Kim was the best tour guide, chockfull of all the good stories you want to hear—some history, some celebrity info…and she stopped to watch a dolphin pod. Get there early and you may see a manatee or other cool sea life. In 10 minutes, we also saw a lobster, parrot fish, tarpon, and iguana. She talked about the city history and skyscrapers and yachts and amazing mansions and all kinds of fun stuff as we zipped along in a zodiac boat. Stiltsville was very cool, but really just a single part of the whole experience. It was a blast. Just do it!

Dolphins galore! - We were able to book two for the next day and then my husband found out that evening that he could join us. I emailed and it was a simple process to add him. Kim was so informative and the trip was great. The rain kept us from seeing Stiltsville, but Kim made up for it by showing us additional attractions. We saw so many dolphins as well. Great trip and value.

Informative captain, great views - Stiltsville was our focus and we were not disappointed! Captain Colin gave us a great tour on a beautiful, hot day. Only one elusive dolphin on our tour, but I was there to see the weird buildings standing in the ocean, a relic of a former era. Also, we were scheduled to do the tour on the morning that Tropical Storm (soon to be Hurricane) Debby was due to hit Miami. Kim emailed us back and forth to work on rescheduling it for later in our trip so that we didn't have to worry about a cancellation the morning of--and also gave us some other local tips for our trip! Overall a great tour, the boat is easy to ride in and when Colin was going fast, it was a beautiful breezy day in the bay.

Zodiac boat tour of Miami - A fantastic trip with Captain Colin, whizzing around Miami bay seeing the incredible houses and learning about the history of the area as well. Colin was a great skipper, very knowledgable and answering our many questions. Great fun and the kids loved it.

Amazing trip in Biscayne Bay.. - Hello. We came from Spain. It was an amazing experience. We like too much Stiltsville and Biscayne Bay. Captain Colin explained us interesting things about Stiltsville, film locations, Miami City and Fisher Island. We recommend this tour.

Best Miami boat tour! - Our group had a fantastic experience! This is a boutique boat tour and our group of six had the craft to ourselves which added to the pleasure of the cruise . Our captain, Kim Falconer, was very accommodating and knowledgeable of Miami waters surroundings and their history, outgoing and warm and a crafty pilot who maneuvered the boat with obvious confidence. Can't recommend this boat tour and its boat captain enough. Excellent boat tour! Go Kim!

Good tour, uncomfortable seats - The views are neat. We saw a few dolphins. Nice to be close to the waters. My main reasons for the 4 stars are that 1) The seats on the boat were uncomfortable to sit for 2 hrs. You sit on the seat like you ride on a horse. If you have back problems, this may be an issue. 2) the tour price is a bit high.
