Miami is an international city at Florida’s south-eastern tip. Its Cuban influence is reflected in the cafes and cigar shops that line Calle Ocho in Little Havana.

On barrier islands across the turquoise waters of Biscayne Bay is Miami Beach, home to South Beach. This glamorous neighbourhood is famed for its colourful art deco buildings, white sand, surfside hotels and trendsetting nightclubs.

Below we have detailed just a few of the things you can do while in Miami, but please Contact Us with your exact needs.
