The idea is a fun one: a pontoon boat from Miami Beach Marina past Star and Fisher islands to a secluded island in Biscayne Bay, with music, water toys, snorkel gear and time to swim.
Honest take
Reviews average just 2.3 from about 15, the lowest of any tour on our site. Biscayne Bay isn't known for reef snorkeling. For real snorkeling, Key Largo's reef trips (about an hour's drive) are far better. For a bay swim, try a private boat or the Key Biscayne paddle and snorkel tour.
