THE NEED FOR SPEED

If you ever felt the urge to don a pastel blazer and Aviators, get ready because this tour is for you. Not only will participants get close to the life of a celebrity, they’ll get the added bonus of enjoying the experience with the wind in their hair.

During the private 1 hour 15-minute Speedboat tour, participants will enjoy an ultimate sightseeing experience of Biscayne Bay, City of Miami Beach, Fisher Island, and a tour of the Mansions on Star Island.  Be ready to take pictures of the beautiful Downtown Miami Skyline.

Star Island is an artificial island located in Miami, Florida. This small, gated community is filled with glorious homes and lavish lifestyles. Many athletes and celebrities live on Star Island due to its luxurious yet private location near Miami Beach.  The occupants of Star Island are just as lavish as the homes they occupy including residents Gloria Estefan, Jennifer Lopez, and Sean (Puffy) Combs, among others.

This 1 hour 15-minute tour cruises the Port of Miami, Biscayne Bay and Star Island, where the tour slows down for local stories about some of the multi-million mansions; from there the tour hits top speed (40 mph) and as it travels out past Fisher Island into the Atlantic Ocean along South Beach and then adventures through the beautiful waters of Biscayne Bay, before heading back to Bayside Marketplace.

FOOD FOR THE SOUL

Little Havana - the heart of Miami's Cuban diaspora - is part of what makes Miami such a dynamic cultural destination. The neighborhood is centered around Calle Ocho (Southwest Eighth Street), a vibrant thoroughfare lined with Latin inspired restaurants, bakeries, fruit stands, cigar shops, rum bars, art galleries, and music venues. It's also where Towne Park guests will find the famed Maximo Gomez Park (known as Domino Park), where locals gather to talk politics over heated games of dominoes.

The street is lined with murals and other artwork, from the mosaic tiles near Domino Park depicting classic symbols of Cuban heritage - cigars, musical instruments and tropical fruit - to walls covered with portraits of Cuban legends, including revolutionary poet Jose Marti and beloved singer Celia Cruz.

THINGS TO KNOW

  • 4-hour excursion including 50-minute one-way transfer time.
  • Ground Transportation is included. 
  • Tour requires at least 10 participants.
  • Bring sunglasses, hat, sunscreen, camera.
  • Wear comfortable clothes and shoes.
  • Lunch will be provided.

One of the best ways to dig into Cuban culture is through its food. Whether it is a pilgrimage to the classic, family owned Versailles or paying a visit to one of Little Havana's other top Cuban restaurants, participants are going to want to sample everything from strong, sweet Cuban coffee to the savory Cuban sandwich.

After lunch, Towne Park guests will head over to view the iconic Wynwood Walls. Since opening in 2009, Wynwood Walls has evolved into a globally renowned street art museum whose impact will be felt for generations. These remarkable walls have transformed the definition of modern art and become a career defining moment for contributing artists, all while helping to make Wynwood one of the world's most celebrated urban revitalization projects and an oasis for cutting edge creativity.
