If you want to take a tour in Miami, then I recommend Thriller Miami. It's short but really fun. The tour guides are really fun, humorous, and knowledgeable. They point out many famous people's home and they also try to get the crowd amp. Along with the houses you get to see a great view of the Miami Skyline. At... More

Words cannot express the fun we had on the thriller boat tour. The guys that run it are excellent and when your done you just want to tip them so much,maybe because i've never been on a speed boat before. The tour is so BOMB... They take u to star island and breakdown all the famous owners of the most... More

This ride was surprisingly interesting and fun. The fast ride around the bay wasn't too fast or bumpy, and the guided tour around the island of celebrity homes was terrific. Everyone involved is very friendly and helpful, especially the tour guide who is extremely entertaining. I definitely recommend holding out for a special rate (Groupon, Travelzoo, etc)...

Without a doubt, the best boat tour in Miami. Great sights and speed. Our 4 year loved the speed! Tour guides were very friendly and funny too. Don't doubt that you'll have a great time! Ignore the slow boats... Go for speed! More

I have heard so much about thriller from others that have done touristy things in miami. I saw the deal on groupon for $22 and i bought it immediately. It was definitely worth that. The ride was about 45 minutes long. gave about a 15 min history of some celebrity homes and the rest of the time was riding on... More

This boat tour gives a quick bit of history of some of the area, but it's main focus is ripping around the water in the speedboat. I guess I would have preferred more history, but maybe I should have taken one of those slow boats! Glad I only paid $22 through Groupon - I don't think it's worth it's full... More

Quite a mild speed boat ride around the harbour of Miami. Nice to sit in the sun, you will get wet wherever you sit. Guide was fairly informative, took photos of us 'driving the boat', pleasant. Went a little faster in the open sea. It is a good way to view the island with the homes of the rich and... More

If you want to see the Miami Bay and get good info on what you are seeing I highly recommend this boat. It goes around 50 mph so they reach the points of interest very quickly and can stay longer explaining each house or building. Weather permitting they go out to the sea if not (my case) they do some... More

This is not a 100MPH boat ride, but is much more thrilling than the slow moving tour boats! Nice trip out in the ocean to see SoBe (try and do Sunset tour - so worth it). Its $25 per person, get in line to get on about 15 minutes at least before boat is due to leave (if you are... More
