Helicopter Tours
A helicopter ride from Tamiami Airport will take you high above the Florida Keys, the Everglades, Biscayne Bay, Viscaya, South Beach and the canals and beaches that make up the cities of Miami and Miami Beach. Everywhere you look, there’s water. It’s only from the air that you realize just how much water there is in this part of South Florida. Highway 27, which is within 20 miles of the coast, is the western boundary of man’s encroachment into the Everglades, and from this point there is nothing but protected marsh and wetland stretching untouched to the horizon and beyond. To the South the islands of Key Largo, Islamorada, Matacombe, Marathon and Key West stretch like the pearls of a fine necklace to the horizon. The shallow water is the bluest water you’ll ever see, and pods of manatees, and schools of dolphins can often be seen from the air as they migrate southwards searching for food. It’s no wonder they call this area ‘Paradise’, and remember Miami has more days of sunshine than any other city in the United States.

A helicopter ride anywhere in the world is nothing short of spectacular, but a ride over South Florida is simply breathtaking.

Miami Food Tours
Much has been written about South Beach, but for the first time Miami Food Tours has devised a unique walking tour of this Historic section of Miami Beach that highlights not only its Art Deco architecture, but samples the tasty food from several of the wonderful bistros and cafes that have helped to make this area so popular. The tour guides are multi lingual and entertaining, the food and drinks which you sip and nibble on are a great substitute for lunch, and in a district known for its 'people-watching', you may become the focus of some of the other watchers. South Beach, as the name implies, is the southern most part of Miami Beach stretching south from Lincoln Road to the Cut. In the early part of the 20th century it was home to winter vacationers from New York and Boston, who came South to get away from the cold weather. They found cheap hotels and boarding houses along the Miami waterfront and created a home-from-home atmosphere that lasted well into the 60's. As the character of the area changed property developers were quick to realize the potential of the district, and South Beach was born.

Fish Jumanji
The sport fishing boat Jumanji has earned its enviable reputation as the best boat in the offshore fishing business in Miami. The best can mean many things, but with charter fishing boats it adds up to the most and largest catches, the superlative knowledge and expertise of the crew, and the safety and consideration offered to the customers. Fishing is weather dependent both for comfort and for the specie of fish that can be caught. During the autumn and winter months the cool breeze brings game fish such as sailfish, marlin and wahoo close to shore, while during the sultry spring and summer seasons the ocean yields up dolphin, tuna, kingfish, mackerel and snapper. Knowing what bait to use, what size of rod and reel, and how deep to fish is often termed as local knowledge and it is this information that keeps Jumanji ahead of its competitors. Miami's fishing boats are located close to the ocean, unlike many other cities on the East coast, and this means that very little time is wasted getting to the fishing grounds. Fishing is a combination of patience, time and commitment, and many people are short on all three counts, but the crew is on board to ensure that everyone has a good time.

Miami Catamarans
Biscayne Bay is a well-protected body of water that stretches southward from the Rickenbacker Causeway to the Upper Florida Keys, a distance of 35 miles, and at its widest point the bay is about 8 miles from East to West. It is at this perfect location that you'll find Sea Sun Sports charters. The Bay is always calm and protected from heavy winds, which makes for safe sailing for sailors of diverse ability. The water is home to a number of sea creatures, who seem to prefer the quiet of a Hobie Cat to the noise of a powerboat, and you'll get a chance to see turtles, dolphins, rays and manatees. The water here is quite shallow with numerous sand bars exposed at low tide; many of these make good spots to pull the boat up and take a rest. On most days the prevailing wind blows from the East providing perfect, and relatively easy conditions for broad reach sailing. From Biscayne Bay you have a different view of both Miami Beach and the City of Miami, and as any sailor will tell you, the best way to see Miami is from the deck of a boat.

There are two cities that are commonly lumped together and referred to as Miami: Miami Beach and Miami. The district bordering the Atlantic Ocean is Miami Beach; it occupies the barrier island that stretches from the entrance to the Port of Miami northwards. It’s home to South Beach, the Art Deco district, the Convention Center, many famous hotels, and has been the backdrop for several television series. The City of Miami, on the other hand, is the cruise capital of the world, it is also the gateway to Central and South America, and its large Spanish speaking population reflects this influence. It is a city with a rich culture and is proud of its world class Symphony orchestras, its opera company, its ballet company and its major league sports teams. While Miami Beach is a Mecca for sun-seeking tourists, the City of Miami remains as Florida’s most dominant and influential city, both politically and economically.
