#3 - Everglades Experience
Venture aboard a private airboat. Propelled by a powerful fan, you’ll find yourself skimming atop the “Sea of Grass” to encounter unusual plants, birds and other animals indigenous to this area. This tour offers a front row seat to one of the world’s most unique ecosystems, and what initially seemed to be a mass of water and overgrowth is soon recognized as an intricate balance of nature crucial to the entire state. And don’t think we forgot about the alligators! You’ll see plenty of these “Kings & Queens” of the Everglades as your guide points them out in their natural habitat. In addition to your tour, you’ll be treated to a 30-minute gator show, a fun, up-close look at these cantankerous creatures!
TIME: 1:30-5:00pm
COST: $75 per person.

#4 - Art Deco Tour in South Beach
The historic Art Deco District in Miami Beach is a must for every visitor. Miami Beach has a history of architectural excellence. From the early vernacular detail of the 1915 Brown’s Hotel, to the Retro Deco design of the Loews Hotel and contemporary lines of the Publix Market on the Bay, Miami Beach has always told its story through its buildings, a story of a glamorous past and current revitalization. A tour guide will lead you through the smooth stucco, clean lines, terrazzo floors, nautical motifs and neon lights, and explain how Miami Beach combined old materials with creative designs to craft the seaside marvels that we enjoy today.
TIME: 1:30-5:00pm
COST: $55 per person.
