Things to Do in Sunny Isles Beach

After a short introduction, lessons from one of WaterSports Miami’s experienced pro kiteboarding instructors turn ground-dwellers into high-flying thrill-seekers. The knowledgeable instructors can introduce newcomers to the excitement of kiteboarding, paddleboarding, and yachting. Kiteboarding lessons and paddleboarding yoga also add an element of adventure to beach excursions, without inevitably digging through sandcastles in search of lost car keys.

Miami’s azure beaches and kaleidoscopic cityscapes beckon eyes downward as Miami Seaplane Tours’ Cessna 172 Seahawk skirts across the horizon. With more than 30 years of experience, pilot Tony Anderson flies jet-setting adventurers above Miami in the renovated interior of his ultralight Cessna, which accommodates up to three passengers. The aerodynamically enhanced craft now offers four distinct seaplane tours, ranging in length from 30 minutes to two hours. Passengers soak in panoramic views of downtown Miami’s hotels, beaches, and mansions, or sail over the soiree of Fort Lauderdale. Tours can also glide north of the city, all the while dodging clouds and errant beach frisbees thrown by Dan Marino.
