Are you ready to let your adventurous side shine? A trip to Miami is not complete without seeing the Magic City in all its glory—dazzling above the iconic sands of Miami Beach—while cruising the warm waters of Biscayne Bay.
Known for its beauty, this South Florida tropical gem is as stunning as it is vibrant with a Latin-inspired lust for life. Tourists and locals alike explore the rich environment in various ways, taking in all the sights and sounds from the land, sea, and air.
Whether you are an avid outdoor explorer, a serious photographer, or simply looking for a unique way to see the city and more, taking a Miami Biscayne Bay Boat Tour is one of the best ways to see the Sunshine City.
An Incredible Way to Start the Day: Cruising at Dawn
This memorable experience begins in downtown Miami where you depart before circling around the Port of Miami and cruise the Bay. With the sun gradually rising above the horizon, it paints the sky pink, orange and crimson hues, offering a stunning view you won’t soon forget.
Additionally, a wide diversity of species can be found in the calm, protected waters of Biscayne Bay. If you’ve got a camera, make sure the battery is charged and the memory card is empty so you can fully capture the incredible natural beauty.
If you’re lucky, you may see the unofficial mascot of Miami: a dolphin! Wildlife abounds in the subtropical lagoon, providing cruisers the chance to make lasting memories with sights of diverse animals from manatees to pelicans. There’s really no better way to start your day in Miami than a sunrise cruise down the Bay.
An Enchanting Experience: Sunset Dinner Cruise
If you’re not much of a morning person, and would rather enjoy the Cruise Capital of the World with the lights of downtown Miami dazzling on the darkening waters, then a Sunset Dinner Cruise is the way to go.
Let your worries drift away like the coastline as you speed past Fisher Island and Millionaire’s Row, where some of Miami’s most famous residents, including Shaquille O’Neal, reside.
All you have to do is embrace the adventure and best of all, dinner is included. Delectable Latin-inspired cuisine is served and cocktails are available that perfectly complement the spectacular views as you breathe in the invigorating ocean air.
Live Music on the Water: Bay Cruising Sunset Serenade
For music lovers, it doesn’t get much better than floating along the beautiful Biscayne Bay with the sights of Miami as the backdrop and a live band providing the night’s enchanting soundtrack.
Certain sunset serenade trips feature excellent musicians who put on outstanding performances, adding a special charm to the experience. Check with the tour operator for an upcoming schedule of tours that feature live music.
No matter the time of day or night, cruising the shallow subtropical waters of Biscayne Bay is an unforgettable experience. Whether you strive to catch the morning’s first light on a sunrise tour or want to see the city lights sparkling from the water at night, you are sure to make memories you will treasure forever.
