Florida and Bahamas Cruises _ The Perfect Combination *

FLORIDA

We meet at the O’Hare airport in Chicago at the checkpoint with a guide/pilot. After checking our passports and luggage, we are on a flight to Miami.
Upon arrival, the first steps are directed to Little Havana. It’s a vibrant Cuban neighborhood of Miami. Thanks to the music, the noisy restaurant and the specific atmosphere, we will move, though for a moment, to the country of aromatic cigars, rum and beautiful classic cars. We will taste Cuban food here to fully experience the Caribbean climate.
In the evening we will walk around Miami, a city famous for its numerous hotels and restaurants on South Beach Miami and Ocean Drive, a street gathering nightlife enthusiasts. The city never falls asleep, there are numerous events here until white morning. Exclusive nightclubs attract visitors and tourists, and the evening streets illuminated by colourful neons are filled with expensive cars from which music resounds.
Accommodation at the hotel.

EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK

After breakfast we will visit the alligator, crocodile and cayman farm to the Everglades National Park. The Everglades swamps have become home to birds and wildlife, mainly because humans have not interfered in these areas. It is not possible to explore Florida and not sail the Airboat through wetlands, where we will be waiting for a close encounter with alligators. During the boat trip, the park guides will inform us more about the park and the animals that live there.
We will also stay at the Big Cypress National Preserve, a reserve adjacent to Everglades Park. It protects more than 700,000 acres of vast basins covered by Cypriot forests. It was established as the first national reserve in the country. It is now visited by almost a million tourists annually.
