Top 10 Day Trips from in Miami, Florida (FL)

March 6, 2022 Enriqueta Cusson

Miami is hot hot hot! And it’s not just the sultry weather. Here, the nightlife is scorching, thanks to a strong Latin influence and spicy salsa culture. Dance the noche away in a nightclub, or indulge in a fancy meal at one of the city’s celebrity-owned restaurants. By day, hit the beach of course, or have yourself a walkabout, taking in Miami’s colorful art deco architecture. Grab a Cuban sandwich in Little Havana, then ride the vintage carousel at Virginia Key Beach Park.

Thoroughly enjoyed the half day tour with Ben. After being picked up from our hotel, we drove ~45 minutes out to the Everglades for a nature walk followed by the airboat ride. Ben was very knowledgeable, funny, and accommodating, even providing some snacks and drinks throughout the day. We look forward to booking another tour with Wild Lime when we come back to the area, and would definitely recommend to friends.

This tour was INCREDIBLE. Our tour guide José was very knowledgeable, personable, and genuine- he greatly enhanced our time. We felt like we had enough time at every stop to enjoy the scenery and were able to experience many different things in one day. From Coconut groove, to little Havana, to Wynwood walls, to a boat tour, we really saw a lot of what Miami has to offer. 100% would recommend this tour to anyone, our family was in great hands with José!

Used Miami Tour Company to go down to the Everglades. The ticket includes the airboat ride and an animal show afterwards. We got the combo that includes sailing around Star Island right after we're back from the Everglades. It was fun-- got to see a National wonder and got to explore another part of Miami afterwards before leaving the next day. After the Start Island sailing tour you get to explore the Bayside Marketplace, with lots of cute little shops and bars. When you first board the bus they give you a map of all their tours and a mini bio of their employees. Michelle, the owner, is cool, we had been emailing for a while. I wanted to do a city tour on our first full day there but that day they did not offer hotel pickup so we ended up just kind of exploring on our own. Also, I got sick on our original day that we were supposed to go to the Everglades and since I was trying to cancel with less than 24 hours in advance they weren't going to give my husband his whole money back; only partial. I really did want to go to the Everglades so we ended up rescheduling it was a blast! It's a good company, just beware that you might not get your money back if something happens last minute. And honestly it's fair because they do have that disclaimer, and there are no exceptions. ‍

Everything on this tour was done right! The hikes, the airboat venture, the island cruise and the museums were well coordinated and fact filled. Not only did we get to see nature up close and personal, we got a good glimpse of the history of the native Americans.
