Miami Biscayne Bay Historical Wildlife Tour

Join us as we journey across Biscayne Bay and back through time to tell you the stories of the people whose influence shaped Biscayne National Park and its surrounding Miami and Florida Keys areas into what they are today.
Summertime special: During the Summer this trip will be extended with no extra cost to include an introductory snorkel and dip in the calm waters of Biscayne Bay.

You will be snorkeling over seagrass or sand and will not likely see much in the way of wildlife. Book one of our other snorkel trips if you wish to snorkel at the reef or mangroves.

While you listen to the stories of Biscayne’s past, you will have the opportunity to see some of the extraordinary wildlife that inhabits the protected Mangroves and Seagrass meadows as you cruise along.

This activity is great for all ages! There is no snorkeling or paddling during this experience. We recommend you wear clothes that could potentially get wet from water splashing onto the boat.
