Top Ten Things to Do on a Miami Hop-On-Hop off Bus Tour

The hop-on-hop-off bus tours are one of the best ways to get through your excursions in Miami. The best part of these Miami bus tours are that you can get off the tour bus at any given point of time if you choose.

Here are the top ten things to do while you're in Miami on a hop-on-hop-off bus tour.

1. Catch a spectacular sunset over the Atlantic Ocean as you stroll down the world famous South Beach, or SoBe as the locals call it. It's the perfect way to begin or wind up your day of excursions in Miami.



2. Take a dip in the pristine, blue waters of Miami Beach. Lounge under a beach umbrella and get a tan.

3. Sample the famous Cuban cuisine that Miami is famous for. Try the Cuban sandwich, fish croquetas, shrimp tortillas, boliche, cubanos, lechonasado, chicharrĂ³n and fritas. Wash it all down with a syrupy Cuban espresso called a cafecito.

4. Visit the many bars, pubs, and nightclubs that pepper the Miami skyline. Miami has always had a rocking party scene and there are many great clubs and bars for tourists who want to let their hair down for the evening and just a have a wild night.



5. Sample one of Miami's legendary fruity, tropical concoctions. As you relax on the beach sample a Mojito, an Atlantico, a White Cosmopolitan, the English Rose, A Cherry Red Carpet or the fantastic Smoking Maguey.

6. Dine at the many iconic seafood restaurants in Miami that serve up delicious specialities like conch fritters, baked fish, grilled fish, fried fish, bisque, chowders, and so much more. Try Garcia's Seafood Grille & Fish Market and Captain Tavern's Restaurant.

7. Visit Matheson Hammock Park which spans over 600 acres of land. It has a 45-minute nature trail that allows tourists to encounter the park's native creatures like the Everglades foxes, squirrels, skunks, opossums and butterflies. The park has many old hardwood trees like the West Indian cherry, Gumbo Limbo, Wild Coffee, Jamaica Dogwood, Live Oak, and Stoppers to name a few.

8. Head to the Art Deco District which houses over 800 buildings, one more outstanding that the next. The architecture of the district is characterised by colourful, bold geometric shapes and is something to behold especially at night.

9. Head to Domino Park play board games like chess and dominos in the afternoon.  Visit the mural in the park dedicated to the Summit of the Americas which took place in 1993. Don't miss the Little Havana Paseo de lasEstrellas, where you can see tributes to Latin American stars.

10. Visit the underwater wonderland of Biscayne Bay, right in Downtown Miami. Its emerald islands, clear aquamarine waters and coral reefs bejewelled with marine life of every imaginable species holds the key to 10,000 years of pirate history, shipwrecks, presidents, and pineapple farmers alike.
