What an amazing experience, I can not recommend this trip enough. One of the best things I did in Miami. The sailing was phenomenal, and so much fun ! We got to see so much wildlife: dolphins, manatees, iguanas and many birds. David brought excellent snacks and drinks and was a fountain of knowledge about the bay and Miami. If you’re in Miami, this adventure is a MUST!!!!

Bus arrived on time at starting point in Miami Beach. Driver was friendly and the ride was very smooth. It's a long drive to Key West, so pack some snacks and a hoodie because the bus runs colder. Otherwise, no complaints. Would do again and also refer a friend.
