Ride Biscayne Bay on a guided Miami jet ski tour, with skyline views and chances to spot dolphins, sea turtles, and manatees.

About this tour

Set out from Bayside Marketplace and trade Miami’s busy streets for the open water of Biscayne Bay. On this 60-minute guided Miami jet ski tour, ride a Yamaha VX Deluxe and take in sweeping views of the Venetian Islands, the downtown skyline, and South Beach.

A professional guide and safety expert provides instruction before you ride, and life jackets are supplied. The route may include stops at islands, sandbars, or beaches, depending on conditions. Keep your eyes on the water: dolphins, manta rays, sea turtles, and manatees may appear along the way. Each jet ski can carry one or two riders, subject to a 350-pound total weight limit. A second passenger costs an additional $30.

This Miami jet ski tour is a guided sightseeing experience, not a freestyle rental. Drivers must meet Florida’s age and boating-license requirements, and all participants must wear life jackets. Call the local operator for exact meeting instructions at Bayside Marketplace. Book your ride and see Miami from the bay.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. 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 7.1. Top 41% in Miami means it ranks in the top 41% of tours in Miami by this score.
