Miami Duck Tours a Fun Activity for All Ages

Recently my friends and I checked out Miami Duck Tours on a weekend trip to Miami. I was surprised to discover how many famous movies were shot in the South Beach area. From the club scene in the remake of Miami Vice, to the apartment scenes in Ace Ventura Pet Detective to the infamous chainsaw scene in Scarface, you’ll think you are in Hollywood!
Our tour guide, “Rodney Dangerduck,” kept things lively with his trivia facts, jokes, and the occasional quack. He also pointed out many architectural nuances of South Beach that I will always associate with Miami. For instance, did you know that the Art Deco colors of the buildings are meant to mimic the colors of coral? Or that most of the buildings were designed to look like cruise ships, with smoke stacks and round portal windows?
The Duck Tour was a great way to tour the city and get a better idea of what we should check out while in Miami. Although the tour mainly focuses on Miami Beach and South Beach (which I learned are technically the same thing), you’ll also go over the MacArthur Causeway that connects greater Miami to Miami beach. You will also zoom past other great attractions, including Jungle Island, Miami Children’s Museum, and the Wolfsonian Museum. Don’t forget your camera!
