See Miami’s shoreline light up from South Pointe Park to the Skyviews Miami Wheel on this small-group night tour. Expect narrated causeway drives, photo stops, and a 200-foot gondola ride over Biscayne Bay.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The van pulls away from a South Beach hotel and the city’s lights begin to edge the horizon—neon reflections breaking across Biscayne Bay as you slide toward downtown. By the time you reach South Pointe Park, the Atlantic’s breath cools your face and the skyline looms like a row of lit glass. The final act is a climb into a climate-controlled gondola on the Skyviews Miami Wheel, nearly 200 feet above the water, where the grid of lights and bay surface compete for attention.
