Tips

To extend the trip, add a full day to explore the Florida Keys or schedule a private sailing excursion from Miami Beach. If you need to shorten the itinerary, combine Day 4’s wildlife activities with Day 6’s cultural attractions by visiting the Seaquarium and the Frost Museum on the same day, allowing an early departure. Adjusting meal times or choosing fewer paid attractions (e.g., skipping the Seaquarium) can reduce overall cost while still enjoying Miami’s highlights.
