Excellent two hours spent on the water with Captain Louis who was very knowledgable about the Miami waterway and area and provided us with a history of how Miami came to be and the islands built. The tour did have to be changed due to the weather and fortunately we could accommodate a different date. We wholly recommend this tour.
Our Guide was wonderful, funny but not annoying. Knowledgeable to the right degree, drove fast and safe, but took his time when needed. We felt very comfortable, enjoyed the total time we were on the boat and would do it again! Make sure to wear proper clothing so you don't get burnt and can fully focus on your tour:)
