What to Expect on Your Miami Snorkeling Tour

Get ready to experience the best snorkeling in Miami.

We offer two unique ways to explore the waters of South Florida:
➤ A classic Miami snorkeling tour by boat to offshore reef sites, and
➤ A beginner-friendly, shallow-water snorkeling trip by kayak or paddleboard through calm mangrove channels.

For guests joining our offshore trip, your tour begins at the Bayside Marketplace Marina, where you’ll board our spacious Newton 46′ dive boat. As we cruise through the calm waters of Biscayne Bay, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of downtown Miami, the Port of Miami, and the surrounding skyline before reaching your snorkeling destinations.

After a scenic ride across the bay, we visit two outstanding snorkeling locations known for their marine life and water clarity:

Neptune Memorial Reef

A unique artificial reef about 3.5 miles offshore. Resting at around 40 feet deep, this underwater site features coral-covered sculptures, tropical fish, sea sponges, and the occasional lobster hiding in reef crevices.

Natural Reef (Shallow Water Site)

Our second stop is a natural reef closer to shore, about 15 feet deep. Perfect for snorkeling in Miami FL, this location offers great light conditions for spotting angelfish, parrotfish, sea fans, and soft coral gardens.

If you’re looking for a slower-paced option, our guided beginner snorkeling trip takes place in shallow, protected waters and is ideal for non-swimmers or first-timers. You’ll choose between a kayak or stand-up paddleboard and explore a mangrove jungle on your way to a calm island. Once there, you’ll snorkel in waist-deep, crystal-clear water — with flotation gear provided and plenty of time to relax. It’s a completely different way to enjoy snorkeling in Miami Beach, with zero pressure.
