Something genuinely different from the usual bay cruise. After dark you paddle along the Miami River in a clear kayak or on a stand-up paddleboard lit with LEDs, with the Downtown and Brickell towers reflected in the water around you. The operator says it's the only night-time paddle tour in Miami, and we haven't found another.
Good to know
