Miami has recently become an art hub, but its thrilling water sports and activities will always be important to its character. Climb aboard a Jet Ski or cast off a rod to begin your adventure.

Bordered by Biscayne Bay and the Everglades, Miami’s breathtaking skyline and beaches are best enjoyed at a distance. You can fly above in a helicopter or seaplane and take in the views or zoom around Fisher Island on a speedboat or airboat to see some gators. The adventurous opportunities abound, with some tours offered here adding hands-on thrills such as fishing and parasailing.
