From the team behind the small-group Everglades tours, this combines a city tour with a speedboat ride. They pitch it against the big bus tours: a guide with more than ten years in Miami, small to medium groups, and stops you won't get on a cheap tour.
Good to know
Hotel pickup, air-conditioned transport and all fees and taxes are included. About five hours. Rated 4.6 from about 35 reviews.
