Banana boating with Joel
The captain was funny and made sure we were comfortable.
Response from the operator: We love to hear this and are so happy our crew made you felt comfortable. We hope to see you again soon!
via Tripadvisor
Its $80 each person “hidden fees”
You pay $30 here and $50 each when u get there for “fuel” so just be aware. Everything else was great. Second time getting on it. Last time was 5 years ago and i did not pay that much.

False advertising not $39 per person for Banada rides $89 was the real price
Online it says 39 dollars per person when we arrived they said it was 89 per person, thats false advertising so we decide to go somewhere else.
Response from the operator: Thanks for your feedback. Our listings show “starting at $39” to reflect weekday or early-day promotional rates. Pricing may vary depending on time, date, and availability, and all final totals are clearly shown before booking is completed. We’re sorry for any confusion and are happy to clarify any questions by email.

Never booking again
Ride was cancelled citing high wind. Miami watersports is refusing to refund money. Will never book again.

Bad Banana tubing
I give 2 stars only because it took us a quick ride. Minus 3 stars because the price was listed as $29, when we called, they also told us it would only cost $29, but when we arrived, it had already become $89, when we started asking why, they told us: "Okay, we can give you a discount and charge you only $69." They said they would take us on a ride for 30 minutes, but in fact they took us on a boat for 5 minutes and only took us on a ride for 15 minutes.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for any confusion during your booking. Next time, we recommend contacting Miami Watersports directly for a smoother booking process and clearer communication. We’re always here to assist!

Tubing/Banana Boat with Miami Watersports: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Miami.
How much does Tubing/Banana Boat with Miami Watersports cost?
+
Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Miami usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tubing/Banana Boat with Miami Watersports take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Miami is not rushed.
Is Tubing/Banana Boat with Miami Watersports worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 76 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Miami, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tubing/Banana Boat with Miami Watersports?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Tubing/Banana Boat with Miami Watersports suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tubing/Banana Boat with Miami Watersports?
+
Around 27 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Miami can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Miami and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tubing/Banana Boat with Miami Watersports start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Miami within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Miami?
+
Miami splits between the water and the neighbourhoods. Biscayne Bay boat tours, Key Biscayne snorkelling and Everglades airboats cover the first, while Wynwood mural walks, Little Havana food crawls and South Beach deco tours cover the second. We rank Everglades operators carefully: many depart from Miami but the good ones run their own boats rather than reselling seats. On Outty we rank every Miami experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2-Hour Miami Private Boat Tour: Skyline & Star Island, The Official Art Deco Walking Tour by The Miami Design Preservation League, Little Havana Food and Walking Tour in Miami. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Miami?
+
November to April, dry season, before hurricane and humidity months. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Miami?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Tubing/Banana Boat with Miami Watersports?
+

Not included: Add Passenger/Rider (Extra cost at check-in); Waterproof phone case (optional at check-in); and Photo Package (optional at check-in only for certain activities). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Tubing/Banana Boat with Miami Watersports?
+
