100 Great Things to do in Miami
Party in the city where the heat is on all night, on the beach till the break of dawn
Welcome to Miami
Miami is one of the state’s – and the world’s – most popular vacation spots. Though destinations often are said to offer something for everyone, the Miami area does indeed offer multiple enticements for everyone: from the nightlife at South Beach and the highly caffeinated energy of Little Havana and the seemingly endless shopping opportunities in Coconut Grove to the lures of deep-sea fishing and golf and tennis. And not to forget: it’s the busiest cruise port in the world!
Must do Attractions in Miami
Sightseeing Hurricane Speedboat Tour
Buckle your seatbelts for a jet-fueled tour of Miami on a superfast speedboat. Those hungry for adventure will prefer this tour to those on traditional cruise boats. Listen to your guide’s narration about the waterfront sights between spins and tricks.
Banana Boat Ride
Take to the water for your adrenaline fix while in Miami with this fun banana boat ride.
