The city lights of Miami bend and blur as you push off from the sandy edge, the hull of a clear kayak cutting a fluorescent path through calm water. Night amplifies the small things: bioluminescent glows under your paddle, a heron freezing on a posts, distant traffic humming over Collins Avenue. In a 90-minute loop from the kiosk at South Beach, the tour threads waterfront homes, bridges and the low-rise faces of Miami’s mid‑century districts.
