With various musical shows held back-to-back between the lasers, it's the perfect way for your travel party to enjoy a night out.
LED Paddleboarding
For a more adventurous night out, LED Paddleboarding fits the bill. You'll head off on a 90-minute tour across the waters, as you witness the sun set over the Miami skyline. As you glide through the waters, your special LED-lit paddle board guides you along the canals, all while a professional instructor is there for your safety. All in all, it’s an incredible way to see the city.
Parties
Miami is known for its active nightlight, so heading off to a party or two is almost tradition! First, there are plenty of adult-only pool parties to attend that are perfect under the Floridian sun.
