About this tour

The shallow water, about waist to chest deep, makes this outing welcoming for beginners as well as experienced snorkelers and paddlers. Guides stay nearby to help you feel comfortable, and you can stand up if you feel nervous.

Snorkeling equipment, bottled water, Gatorade, and sodas are provided.

Meet at Bill Bird Marina and arrive 30 minutes early to find the floating dock. There are no bathrooms during the paddle, though facilities are available before and after.

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 5.3.
