After touching down at Miami International Airport, you\u2019ll pick up your hire car and head off down to the electrifying Miami Beach.

If Cuba has been on your bucket list, you\u2019re in luck. Without even having to get your passport out, you can immerse yourself in real Cuban culture. Nestled within the glitz of Miami, lies the Little Havana Food Tour where you\u2019ll be sure to get a true taste of Havana, quite literally.

With five restaurants to choose from, push your palette to the extreme by indulging in the finest Cuban foods. Whether you want to have breakfast, lunch or dinner, or even all three (don\u2019t worry, we don\u2019t judge), this is Miami\u2019s finest Cuban cuisine. Admire the art of the \u2018Cubano\u2019 hand-rolled cigar, and sip on Cuba\u2019s most famous cocktails whilst dancing the day away listening to traditional Cuban music.<\/p>\n
Later, drive your way to Downtown Miami and find yourself in the heart of\u00a0the Wynwood Art District. Rent a bike or take a stroll down the graffiti-filled streets for an eye full of the most vibrant street art. Flooded with colour and life, the Wynwood walls have welcomed some of the greatest artists from all over the world. Take your creativity to the next level and work alongside some of these artists to create your very own masterpiece. Who knows, you may unearth a hidden skill in the art of graffiti.<\/p>\n
Your next stop will be the Everglades National Park, a place that is home to some rare and endangered species. Filled with thick forests and grasslands, experience marine life in a whole new way and catch a glimpse of the enormous alligators \u2013 or, if you\u2019re lucky, you may even see the elusive Florida panther. Your tour ends by speed riding through the swamps with a serene view of the wetland.<\/p>\n

Return to the hotel for a restful sleep as you\u2019ll be up early tomorrow \u2013 trust us though, it will be totally worth it. Here at Black Tomato, we love to go above and beyond, so just a few hours before sunrise, awaken those sleepy eyes and head down to the launch site of your next adventure. The roaring of the burners and explosion of colours will no doubt have you fully awake and bursting with excitement for your hot air balloon ride. As you float up into the air and watch the gorgeous sunrise in total tranquillity, take a moment to yourself and soak in the beautiful surroundings. You\u2019ll want to bring your camera to snap this unforgettable moment – and obviously to make your family and friends back at home totally jealous.<\/p>\n
After your early start, we figured a jungle trek may be too tiring \u2013 but don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ll still be sure to squeeze this into your trip. Instead, we thought there could be no better way to spend the rest of your day than by relaxing on a beautiful Italian yacht. Step onboard and sink into ultimate relaxation mode. Walk on down to the deck and recline on the leather sofas, as you sail away into the distance feeling the ocean breeze against you.<\/p>\n
Prepare to ditch the phones as you’re\u00a0whisked off to a secret island escape. Discreetly hidden just off the Florida Keys coastline, start your journey in ultimate style by arriving either by sea-plane or boat. For the next three nights, indulge in an exclusive slice of paradise at Little Palm Island, a best-kept secret amongst celebrities.<\/p>\n
With the island as your home, it\u2019s entirely up to you how to spend your days. Why not have champagne flowing by mid-morning and spend the day lounging around the island, gazing out at the glistening sea? If you fancy something a bit more exciting though, you will find yourself spoilt for choice by the range of activities. Conveniently close to Little Palm Island, dive down amongst the colourful reef in Looe Key, renowned as one of the best places in the US to scuba dive. Or if you prefer being up in the air, hop in a helicopter and sight-see your way around the island from above \u2013 or even go skydiving for the most spectacular views of Florida Keys.<\/p>\n
Hold back the tears as you wave goodbye to the heavenly Palm Island; we have another resort waiting for you that simply defines luxury. Just seven minutes from Key West lies Sunset Key Cottages, a secluded 27-acre island full of gorgeous cottages surrounded by pure white sand. Over the next few days you\u2019ll be waking up to the calming sound of the waves with a gorgeous view of the never-ending ocean. Bliss.<\/p>\n
Your adventure at Key West starts on board a seaplane for the Dry Tortugas Tour where your pilot and personal tour guide will fly you over the Gulf of Mexico, the ending point of the Keys. As you soar over the incredible views, you\u2019ll be flying at a close distance to the blue and green waters where you\u2019ll have front row seats to the sharks, dolphins and turtles below. After circling the air, you\u2019ll hit the waters at the Dolphin Research Center. Made up of a large series of saltwater lagoons, this is home to a family of dolphins and Californian Sea Lions. Later, you\u2019ll get the chance to enjoy the water, and these intelligent creatures, as you swim with the dolphins.<\/p>\n
As your last few days come to an end, you may think that you\u2019ve experienced it all. Well, we thought we\u2019d throw in a little something extra for you as the cherry on top of this fab trip. If you\u2019ve always wanted to make a grand entrance in pure style, you can finally tick that off your list. Board a Havilland plane and fly to lunch on a private island and dine in ultimate luxury. How\u2019s that for experiencing it all?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
