South Beach salsa and bachata lessons with mojitos, Cuban bites, and live music, plus a VIP nightclub pass for late hours.
“Carlos was an excellent instructor! My wife and I had so much fun dancing. The mojito was weak and the food was unpalatable. But the dance lessons made up for the food and drink short comings.”

A hands-on Wynwood graffiti master class with a Miami artist, tool tips, techniques, and time to spray a wall, in about one hour.
“Beware, arrive 1/2 hour early. They where no longer at the address specified online. Tried calling and they didn't get back to me till over an hour went by, 40 minutes past the appointment we set up. Telling us they where at a different location if we where still interested. Asked for our money back, and they refused. Stay away is my experience, there a few others offering the same service who actually followed through and we had a great experience.”
2-hour private surf lesson in Miami Beach with an included board, certified English instructors, and coaching for beginners to intermediates.
“Onze gids heeft zich niet voorgesteld. Moest op de parkeerplaats wachten tot overige lesgenoten kwamen, terwijl we een privé les hadden en de uiteindelijk ook niemand meer aansloot. Erg lange ‘warming up’, op en neer rennen met surfboard over strand was achteraf onnodig zwaar, krachten al verspeeld voor we het water ingingen. In totaal 1,5u bezig geweest ipv 2 uur, waarvan de warming up de helft van de tijd was! Na 1.5u moest hij nieuwe klanten gaan ophalen op de parkeerplaats. Het was heel cool en leuk, maar niet de prijs waard voor ‘twee uur privéles surfen’ in mijn ogen! Aan het eind van de les werd er erg op…”
60-minute Miami flight lesson with an FAA-qualified instructor, headsets, and hands-on maneuvers over Miami Beach.
“It was a little mixup with the reservation BUT Sebastian got right on top of things and got everything straighten out. It was a surprise adventure for my boyfriend’s 50th birthday. Flying a plane was on his bucket list. He absolutely loved it. He was like a big kid. I scored major girlfriend points. The staff and pilot at Elevate Aviation Academy was able to accommodate the last minute change. And they did it with a smile. It was an amazing experiencing. I highly recommend it.”

Cook Cuban classics in a Miami home, make appetizer, ropa vieja, dessert, and mojitos, then eat dinner with recipes to take home.
“My husband and I loved this class! Our hosts were so welcoming; we felt right at home in no time. The food was delicious, the sangria was the best we've ever had, and we are so excited to have all these recipes now and the confidence to execute them. It was wonderful to switch up date night and learn so much in the process! Highly recommend.”
Private 2-hour Miami Beach surf lesson with board included, sand coaching first, then ocean practice for beginners and beyond.
“My session was canceled three minutes before it was supposed to start (7:57 AM) because there were no waves—which I completely understand, nature is unpredictable. The issue is that they canceled so late that I had already paid $30 for parking, which was a total waste of money. Their website also states that on no-wave days, you’d still get the land portion of the class and be offered a paddleboard instead of a surfboard. However, they neither had nor offered any paddleboards. I had to remind them about this option, and they told me they couldn’t fulfill it for at least another two or three hours. We had other plans…”
VIP South Beach bachelorette salsa night with salsa and bachata lessons, mojitos, appetizers, and club dancing all night at 900 Ocean Drive.
“This was so excellent. Let's start with the staff, which was excellent starting with the staff at the club entrance, they greeted us immediately and took us to where we were suppose to be. After that the dance teachers, the waiters, bartenders were excellent. We enjoyed the lesson, and the refreshments were so good. We particularly liked that the room was turned into a hip-hop club later on, we stayed on and danced. 10/10 experience, would definitely recommend it.”
Private 3-hour kiteboarding lesson in Miami at Stiltsville, with IKO instructor, boat ride, gear, setup, and refreshments.
