Millionaire's Row Cruise

There are many options available for the tourist ve wants to go sightseeing on a boat in Biscayne Bay. We chose the Island Queen for $27 a head, which offered a 90-minute mini cruise of the bay, with views of the famous houses of millionaires. It's very touristy, but all in all, it was a lovely experience, with stunning views of the bay and the Miami skyline from the sea. Departures take place every hour, and are more frequent on the weekends, and the guide on board will point out the attractions that are worth seeing.

Along the way you'll see Star Island, with a villa that once belonged to Elizabeth Taylor, and another where a German architect has spent thousands of dollars installing air conditioning in the garden (!).
