Paddle from Crandon Park to a Biscayne Bay sandbar, then swim and snorkel over seagrass beds on a guided Key Biscayne adventure.

About this tour

Paddle out from Crandon Park and discover Key Biscayne from two perspectives: gliding across Biscayne Bay and snorkeling beneath its clear, shallow waters. This guided Key Biscayne paddle and snorkel tour pairs an offshore sandbar stop with time to explore the bay’s marine habitats.

Choose a kayak or paddleboard, then follow your guide across the water toward a shallow sandbar where you can swim and cool off. Continue paddling and pause to snorkel over healthy seagrass beds, patches of coral, and other underwater habitats. Tropical fish and local wildlife may appear, though sightings are not guaranteed. The route is flexible, shaped by conditions such as wind, waves, currents, tides, and visibility, as well as the group’s ability. When conditions allow, your guide may take the group farther offshore or to other snorkeling spots.

With equipment and a safety briefing provided, you can focus on the water, the shoreline, and sweeping views near Crandon Park. Join this Key Biscayne paddle and snorkel tour for an active outing that blends paddling, swimming, and underwater discovery. Come ready to explore Key Biscayne by kayak or paddleboard.

How this score is calculated

This tour scores 5.00 on Viator (GetYourGuide shows no usable rating). Ratings on these sites cluster near the top of the 5-star scale, so we compare each one with all other ratings on the same site before combining them.

How the score works and rating distribution in Miami
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.3. Top 32% in Miami means it ranks in the top 32% of tours in Miami by this score.
