Did you know that Miami Beach is mostly man-made? And that Biscayne Bay used to be a swamp? And that Muhammad Ali became a champion here in South Beach? This is a guided bicycle tour from southernmost tip of Miami Beach all the way to the top of Bal Harbour which is the northern tip of the 10 miles long island. Along the tour you will learn history, culture, and scandals of the 3 cities we visit. Halfway through our trip we will stop and have a quick picnic in the park, each guest gets a complimentary fruit bowl. You will get a chance to experience Miami Beach outside of the tourist ridden path. It's a bike ride most travelers wouldn't take on by themselves. This coastal bicycle ride is one of the most scenic bike rides in the world. Other things to note: The bicycle trip is 20 miles long, and takes around 5 hours to complete. With plenty of stops and steady slow pace it’s moderate in difficulty. Electric bicycle is available for additional fee (contact us for that).
