A great way to orient yourself to a new place or expand on knowledge you might already have about a city is to take one of its sight seeing tours.  Almost every major city in the world has a tour, and Miami, Florida, is no different in that regard:  In fact, you’ll find a number of ways to see and explore inside and outside this South Florida beachside metropolis, some of which are pretty unusual.

First, there’s the Duck Tour, which is the only way to see Miami from the land and sea in the same vehicle.  You will actually be seated inside an amphibious car and, after you’ve hit the landmarks of South Beach, you’ll roll on into the Biscayne Bay for a cruise.  If you’d just like to take some time out on the water, there’s the Island Queen, which offers ninety minutes of narrated cruise on the Biscayne Bay, where you’ll be able to take in the sight of downtown Miami, Fisher Island, Millionaires’ Row, and the Port of Miami.  If these first two options are too high tech for you, then consider an Eco-adventure Tour by exploring Miami in a canoe. You’ll be able to paddle your way through the Coral Gables waterway, or even take a canoe trip at night around Vizcaya Mansion, the Deering Estate.

On dry land, there’s a number of places to go, such as the Art Deco Tour, where you get to see the architectural interests of South Beach, inside and outside.  Miami City Tours will take you to South Beach, Bayside, Coconut Grove and Little Havana, as well as a Biscayne Bay Boat tour.
But if the city gets to be too much, there’s always the Wooten’s Airboat Rides in the Everglades, which are located thirty-five miles to the west of Miami.  No matter which tour you decide upon, you’ll need a place to stay.  Check out this site, and you’ll find a great place that meets your needs after a hard day of exploration.
