South Beach is the southern end of Miami Beach: a long run of pale sand and blue-green water, with hotels and apartment towers lined up behind it and South Pointe Park at the tip. From the sidewalk you see one block at a time. From a helicopter just offshore, the whole shoreline reads as a single curve, with the shipping channel at one end and the towers of Miami Beach running north. Three of the four private flights on the Miami<\/a> hub include it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Miami South Beach, Downtown and Islands 30-Minute Helicopter Tour<\/a> is the natural choice. It spends about 30 minutes in the air, about 40 minutes in total, and costs from US$299 per person with a minimum of 2, so two people pay from US$598 together. The route takes in the Downtown skyline, Brickell, South Beach and Miami Beach, Fisher Island<\/a>, Key Biscayne<\/a>, the Venetian Islands<\/a>, Palm Island, the Port of Miami<\/a>, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove and Vizcaya. It is the broadest half-hour on the hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two other flights reach the beach. The South Beach Sunset tour<\/a> is also about 30 minutes but flies in the early evening, from US$349 per person, minimum 2, and passes South Pointe Park and South Beach between Fisher Island and the Venetian Islands. The Miami Ultimate tour<\/a> gives you about 50 minutes, from US$499 per person, minimum 2, and follows Miami Beach north past Surfside and Bal Harbour to Sunny Isles Beach<\/a>. The 20-minute South Miami flight does not reach South Beach, so skip it if the beach is the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every flight here is private. Only your group flies, and one helicopter takes 2 or 3 guests. The price is still per person: a couple pays for two seats, and a third guest adds a third seat to the same flight. There is no landing on the beach and no set number of minutes over it; South Beach is one named sight on a route that keeps moving. Flights need good weather, and if one is cancelled for bad weather you can choose another date or a full refund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Beach sits between two other highlights. To the south, across the channel, is Fisher Island<\/a>. To the west, the causeways lead past the Venetian Islands<\/a> and the cruise ships of the Port of Miami<\/a> towards the Downtown and Brickell skyline<\/a>. On the 30-minute flights you see all of them in one loop, which is why most visitors start there rather than on the longer tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flights leave from the CR Aviation building at Miami Executive Airport (Kendall-Tamiami), 14359 SW 127th St, where parking is free. Arrive 30 minutes before your flight to check in, sign the waiver and show photo ID; the person who paid must also bring the card used. Flights leave on time, and arriving late counts as a no-show with no refund. A US$19 per person airport fee, paid at check-in, comes on top of the tour price. Cancel at least 24 hours before for a full refund. For South Beach with the islands and skyline in half an hour, book the South Beach, Downtown and Islands tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"class_list":["post-8498","highlights","type-highlights","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"sub_title":"","location":8444},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flyovertheworld.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/highlights\/8498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flyovertheworld.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/highlights"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flyovertheworld.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/highlights"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flyovertheworld.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8444"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flyovertheworld.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
