We saw this boat on a trip to the mall and thought it would be interesting to ride . All time slots were sold out so we were initially bummed about that but was able to get the last time slot at 7:30 on the next day . When I tell you we could have not picked a better time as we were able to see the sunset and also the Miami skyline and Ferris wheel lit up . This speedboat tour was exciting and amazing at the same time . I have never had sooooo much fun and it’s actually fun for people of all ages. I was so upset as I was leaving Miami the next day and would have definitely paid to do it again without the tour but just the speedboat ride . It was amazing and I definitely recommend. I will never visit Miami without booking this activity again ! .

We were in Miami for our honeymoon and wanted to be on a boat and do sightseeing. Thriller Miami delivered and then some. It was SO fun, so fast, and our tourguide was funny and friendly. Definitely make your reservation in advance - we went on a Friday at the last ride of the eve (7 pm) and people were being turned away for walk-up tickets. We got in line early so we were at the front of the queue and got seats right near the front. Would absolutely go again!

We had a fun time and got our money's worth - we were able to see much of Miami from the water and got some funny narration from the tour guide in the process. The check-in booth is a little hard to find and the day we were there that part of the waterfront park had lots of construction going on making it even more difficult. Once you're there though the process was easy.

I picked this tour for our family because it was quick and got us a view of Miami from the water (not so much for the speedboat part of it). The trip was awesome; our really entertaining guide briefed us on all the houses of the rich and famous and did a great job engaging and making us all laugh bit. Both teenage daughters loved the tour.. We got everything we wanted out of the tour.

There were 8 of us in our group and thought this would be amazing. Save your money or go on another boat ride. First, the lady taking our tickets and checking us in was the rudest person we encountered on our entire week's trip. Then when we went to get on the boat, the guy was really rude. You would think they would appreciate business, but they are just collecting their paycheck and obviously not people persons. The cost of this ride is way too much for what you get. The driver of the boat was fun and funny. It gets overcrowded and you can't see anything in front of you.. only what's beside you. I would not recommend this or do it again. We were all highly disappointed. I never leave negative feedback, but I felt it necessary in this case.

So to start off the captain and his assistant were awesome they kept us laughing the entire ride very amusing, now the speed and the way the captain was rolling that boat it was a definite adrenaline rush!!! I wanted to go again lol. This is a must if you’re ever in Miami. A plus you can bring your drink alcohol on but I wouldn’t recommend because he rolls and whips that boat.

Very exciting and fun. We went at 7pm, perfect time because the weather was cool and the city lights were starting to light up the area and boat lights lit up the harbor. Lots of action, very funny and safe conscious crew. We wanted to see more famous stars mansions and perhaps if possible circle the islands.

Ive been to miami many times and never did this. It was great! Me and my boyfriend loved it. They played up beat music and the tour guide had a lot of jokes which added to the experience. The location the port is in is a very good area as well with bars, stores, and places to eat. I highly recommend doing this if you’re in the miami area.

I am a Miami resident. I have done this tour dozens of times a year b/c my child used to love it.
It used to be good.
Now they sell you a 45min tour and in less than 30mins they have you back on the dock. You spent more time waiting to board, posing for their pics, loading and unloading than on the actual ride.
They got rid of the good tour guides. The tour narrations were good before, they were even timed with the music they were playing in the boat.
Now the tour narrators are terrible. They don’t care about what they are doing to even learn any of the information. Most of the little they say now its made up. They are basically there to ask for tips.
Prices went up and instead of quality at least staying the same, it went way down. I don’t know if it is unsupervised employees cutting all corners to do the minimum w/o the owner knowing or if the changes are management driven . Either way It’s a shame . I won’t do the Tour again nor recommend it.

Are the Thriller and Hurricane tours the same? Is the boat and departure times the only difference? Or do they take different routes and see different sights?

Both boats offer same tour and experience.
Written April 19, 2023
If you sit towards the front of the boat, normally no, towards the back you will get more splashed.
Written January 13, 2020
No there's no weight limit. It's a speed boat with rows of bench-like seating.
Hope this helps

Hola, en este paseo nos mojaremos mucho? Debemos ir con ropa de playa o llevar ropa seca? Realizamos un paseo similar en el caribe pero salimos chorreando agua..!! Gracias
Written February 14, 2019
Hola,
Todo depende de donde te sientes y de las condiciones del mar. Por lo general en las 3-4 primeras filas no te mojas, hacia atras si pues la estela del agua, con la brisa y velocidad se devuelve hacia el bote roseando agua a los que estan sentados en las ultimas filas.

The best time to go - early afternoon or later?
Written February 1, 2019
I would say get the latest tour that includes the sunset. There is no sight like the Miami downtown skyline as the sun sets between the buildings. You start off in the light so get great shots there and you also reach the stars houses as the light just begins to fade. Then the sun set starts as you head back towards Bayside. I took the 5.15 tour a couple of weeks ago and it was awesome. No matter what tour you take you'll have a blast. Enjoy!

I am going to miami via a rcl cruise ship, how would i get to the attraction?
Written July 28, 2018
My brother and I rented a car for the week.I am not that familiar with the area. You would probably have to take a taxi or Uber to get there once the ship docked. I hope this helps.

Can you drink beer on boat ride?
Written June 20, 2018
Not Shure if it's allowed, but you can bring a drink (ie water). I suggest you do so, salt water might hit you in the face. It's an adventurous ride. Not a ride to sip a beer...
So take some water and have the beer(s) afterwards!
