About This Adventure

See the jaw-dropping homes of the rich and famous and take in the stunning views of Miami’s American Airlines Arena (Home of the Miami Heat), Star Island, Fisher Island and The Venetian Islands, a chain of man-made islands in Biscayne Bay, originally built in 1920 as a memorial to railroad pioneer Henry Flagler. These include Biscayne Island and San Marco Island, among the most well known, whereas Flagler Monument Island remains uninhabited and serves mainly as a picnic spot.
