2. Go on a Bahamas day trip to swim with the Exuma pigs
Take one of the many day trips to Bahamas offered in South Florida to see the pigs in the Bahamas at Big Major Cay (Pig Island Bahamas).
Every Pig Island tour gives you a chance to swim with, feed, and play with the Bahamas swimming pigs which have quickly become the country’s top tourist attraction and one of the top things to do in South Florida.

Bahamas day trips are becoming popular Florida activities.
There are now flights from Florida to Bahamas leaving from Miami and Fort Lauderdale to supplement the ferry services which have not gotten great reviews in recent years.
Getting from Florida to Bahamas should be half the fun of your excursion — and by flying, you will see the most amazing views in your life of what astronauts call the most beautiful place on Earth from above; the Exuma Cays.
3. People watch at South Beach in Downtown Miami
One of the most underappreciated things to do in South Florida is some classic people watching on South Beach at sundown. Everyone comes out for the sunsets (though there isn’t much of a sunset to see on the east side of the peninsula). Though, what you should really be watching is all of the great entertainment which comes with the people of South Beach.
4. Explore South Florida’s most diverse ecosystem: the Everglades
Everglades National Park is among the most unique things to do in South Florida because of the exotic ecosystem which exists nowhere else in the United States but there.

Everglades tours are one of the popular things to do in South Florida.
5. Get a thrill at Orlando’s theme parks
If you are looking for fun things to do in Orlando, you won’t have to look long before you run into one of its many adventurous theme parks. Those looking for Florida attractions for families need not look further than the likes of Disney’s Magic Kingdom or Universal Studios where there is an adventure for the whole family!
An overlooked experience is Gatorland which, in our opinion, is one of the truly fun things to do in Orlando.
6. Take a road trip to Key West
South Florida is beautiful, but perhaps the most beautiful part of it is the Keys in the very southern part of the state. Taking a road trip down the ocean highway to Key West in the Florida Keys, is among the best things to do in South Florida.

7. Come swim with sharks in the out islands of the Bahamas
