Paddle Biscayne Bay by kayak or paddleboard, take in Miami’s skyline, and enjoy sunset views from Virginia Key’s beach.

About this tour

Trade Miami’s busy streets for the open water on a 120-minute paddle across Biscayne Bay. From the bay, Downtown Miami’s iconic skyline rises above the water, creating a striking contrast with the surrounding natural scenery. The launch point is on Virginia Key, home to a beach with sunset views.

Choose a paddleboard or kayak, then get set up with paddles, a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket, and a waterproof bag for your phone, wallet, or car keys. A paddle instruction session and safety briefing help you prepare before heading out. The experience suits a range of fitness levels, though it is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, or who are pregnant.

Find the white beach club on the bay side of the Rickenbacker Causeway; parking is available on site. Set out for a fresh perspective on Miami and enjoy the skyline and bay at your own pace. Book your Miami Biscayne Bay paddle and make time for the water.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 8 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

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 7.5. Top 21% in Miami means it ranks in the top 21% of tours in Miami by this score.
