22. Ultimate Miami and Beaches Seaplane Tour

If you want to catch that beautiful aerial shot that you always see in movies set in Miami, why not try a seaplane tour? During this one-hour flight operated by Miami Seaplane Tours , you’ll get a bird’s eye view of the city skyline, Key Biscayne, the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, and Stiltsville. In certain areas, the pilot can even fly low enough to see marine animals swimming down below. 

Depending on the weather, planes take off multiple times a day. If you’re short on time, they also offer a 30-minute flight, which still offers some wonderful views of the city skyline. Alternatively, you can opt for a day tour to Key West. This eight-hour tour is pretty pricey though, so you may want to save it for a special event.
