What you'll do:

You'll cruise out of Bayside Marketplace on a pontoon boat, soaking in skyline views of Miami before dropping anchor at a secluded island in Biscayne Bay, mask on, fins ready.

• Snorkel the Bay – Spend about an hour exploring the warm, clear waters around a private island, guided by your captain at a pace that works for first-timers and experienced swimmers alike.

• Cruise the Miami skyline – On the way out and back, you get panoramic views of the Miami waterfront, including the waterfront estates of Star and Hibiscus Islands.

• Play on the water – Jump on the floating mat or grab a water tube while Miami-style music plays from the boat.

• Relax on the island – Step onto a sandy beach and take in the calm of a spot most visitors never reach.

• Gear up with everything provided – Snorkel masks, life jackets, and eco-friendly sunscreen are all included so you show up ready to go.

Whether you're a total beginner or just haven't snorkeled in years, this tour is designed for people who want a real water experience, not a crowded tourist shuttle.

Why we love it for your group:

• Beginner-friendly setup – A professional captain leads the snorkeling, so no experience or certification is needed.

• Iconic departure point – Leaving from Bayside Marketplace means easy parking, nearby dining, and a central Miami location everyone can find.

• Private island access – The boat takes you to a secluded spot in Biscayne Bay that's not reachable on foot or by kayak.

• Everything included – Snorkel gear, eco-friendly sunscreen, life jackets, and water toys are all on board; nothing to rent separately.

• Miami vibes on the water – Live music, open water, and Miami's skyline in the background make this feel like a full experience, not just a swim.
