BookingNo reservation needed for the visitor center or Convoy Point grounds. Boat tours are run by the concessioner Biscayne National Park Institute (BNPI); the NPS accessibility page advises: 'Book your tour in advance to guarantee a spot on the boat' (check-in at the Florida National Parks Association bookstore next to the visitor center).
