Day 1 - Miami - Florida
Miami is a city in Florida that offers a variety of attractions and activities for travelers. Whether you are looking for sun, sand, culture, or nightlife, Miami has something for you. Here are some of the things you can do in Miami:
- Visit Vizcaya Museum and Gardens. This is a stunning estate that was built in the early 20th century by James Deering, a wealthy industrialist. The estate features a lavish Italian Renaissance-style villa, surrounded by 10 acres of lush gardens and fountains. You can explore the villa's exquisite rooms and art collections, as well as the gardens' exotic plants and sculptures. Vizcaya Museum and Gardens is located at 3251 S Miami Ave, Miami, FL, 33129 and is open from Monday to Sunday, except Tuesdays.
- Explore Shark Valley. This is a part of the Everglades National Park that offers a unique opportunity to see the wildlife and natural beauty of this wetland ecosystem. You can take a tram tour, bike, or walk along a 15-mile loop trail that takes you through the habitats of alligators, birds, turtles, and more. You can also climb up a 65-foot observation tower that gives you a panoramic view of the landscape. Shark Valley is located at 36000 SW 8th St, Miami, FL, 33194 and is open from Monday to Sunday
- Enjoy the nightlife on Calle Ocho. This is the main street of Little Havana, a neighborhood that showcases the Cuban culture and heritage of Miami. You can find many restaurants, bars, clubs, and shops that offer authentic Cuban food, music, art, and cigars. You can also join the locals in playing dominoes at Domino Park, or watch the live performances at the Tower Theater. Calle Ocho is a lively and colorful place to experience the Cuban flavor of Miami.

Day 3 - George Town - Grand Cayman
Grand Cayman is where the high life meets island life. This international banking haven is as much known for award-winning beaches as for the flocks of celebrities and high rollers that frequent them. You can sip Cayman Mama’s while rubbing shoulders with the global glitterati. During your Grand Cayman cruise, you can snorkel with stingrays in Stingray City. Treat your inner foodie at eateries established by acclaimed top chefs like Michael Schwartz, or chow down on conch fritters by the seashore. You can even soak up some rays at one of the beaches voted best in the world, Seven Mile Beach. And do it all in the same day.
Day 4 - Falmouth - Jamaica
Nestled right between Montego Bay and Ocho Rios, Falmouth is the perfect backdrop for discovery in Jamaica during your cruise— but there’s lots to do right there. For a relaxing ride along the shoreline, hop on horseback in Chukkah Beach. Cruise to Falmouth and head to the Water Square and jam out with the locals to live reggae. Culture cravers can get their fix during high tea at the historical Good Hope Estate overlooking the Queen of Spain Valley. And a trip to Falmouth wouldn’t be complete without chowing down on fiery jerk chicken and rum cake, two local favorites.
