7 nights. Bahamas, Mexico, Cayman Islands, Jamaica

Day 1

miami, florida

Departure: 16:00

Miami Beach is everything you've heard about, but you have to see it for yourself. Take an Art Deco tour of Miami Beach to fully appreciate the area's signature architecture. The South Beach Art Deco District is a whimsical collection of more than 800 architecturally protected buildings in Miami Beach from the 1930s and 1940s – a definite must-see. Stay in one of its boutique or throwback hotels – you'll also find some of Miami Beach's finest dining, nightlife and spas here. North Beach's Ocean Terrace is fast becoming a smaller version of South Beach, with inviting oceanfront hotels and cafés. Regardless, be sure to go for a beachside stroll or to Haulover Park for fishing, bike rides, tennis or golf. And, of course, Miami Beach’s nightlife always concludes an unforgettable vacation day.

Day 2

bimini, bahamas

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 17:00

Bimini is the westernmost district of the Bahamas, made up of a chain of islands about 80 kilometres due east of Miami. It’s the closest point in the Bahamas to the mainland United States, lying roughly 210 kilometres west‑northwest of Nassau. As of the 2010 census, the population is 1,988. Bimini has three islands: North Bimini, South Bimini and East Bimini. The largest are North and South Bimini. The main settlement is Alice Town, a cluster of shops, restaurants and bars along a road known as the King’s Highway. A second main road, Queen’s Highway, runs almost the length of the island parallel to King’s Highway. South Bimini has an airstrip, South Bimini Airport, and offers a quieter alternative to the gentle bustle of North Bimini. There’s a small residential community on South Bimini called Port Royale. For many years, visitors to South Bimini were mostly boaters, as there were few places to stay apart from private homes. Because Bimini is close to Miami, Florida, many American anglers come over by boat to fish or enjoy the local nightlife. Scuba diving and snorkelling are also popular, with many shipwrecks in the area, including the wreck of the SS Sapona, which ran aground during a hurricane in 1926. The top of the ship remains above water while the lower half is submerged. Parts of the wreck have been salvaged over the years, and some of the timber was used in building the Compleat Angler Hotel and bar on North Bimini.

Another site is located near the village of El Cedral, inland from the Carretera Costera Sur highway. In Punta Sur Park, at the southern tip of the island, you’ll find the El Caracol temple, believed to have been used as a lighthouse by the Mayans.
