  • Use a Miami Sightseeing pass .

Without question, the best way to save money on these services is by using a Miami tourist pass.

Depending on which one you choose and how you use it, you could save 50% or more on all these activities!

If you’re looking for a different kind of cruise that doubles as a bus tour, this is an excellent option.

These amphibious vehicles take you around the city and out on the water.

In addition to seeing a lot of notable sites in the area, you’ll also enjoy some great music and commentary about the city.

  • $48.15/Adults |  $29.96/Youths (4-12) | $10.70/Children (3 and under)
  • Hours: 11 am, 2 pm, 4 pm, 6 pm

Reviews for Duck Tours are very good, and they have an overall rating of about 4 ½ out of 5 stars ( read reviews here ).

Most customers enjoy the tour, reporting their local guide is fun and knowledgeable.

The only complaints focus on the fact that this service is more about having fun than learning about the city.

If you’re looking for a more informative outing, consider another type of boat tour.

  • $37.45 off for kids under 3.
  • $18.19 off for youth between the age of 4-12.
  • 10% off when you purchase tickets on their website.

There are a lot of different ways to save money on tickets for the South Beach Duck Tour, but using a tourist pass will give you the best chance at saving up to 50% or more.

Alternatively, discount sites also offer pretty good rates on this tour, and they often provide additional coupon codes for 10% - 20% off.

Water Taxi Miami

Although this isn’t exactly a tour, it is absolutely worth mentioning.

Miami can have some gridlock when it comes to traditional transportation, so it’s nice to be able to get around in a Water Taxi.

Instead of driving and getting stuck in traffic, you can use these little boats to get from one point to another without any hassle.

Sometimes your captain will even point out a few notable locations in the city, so it’s definitely a great value if you’re looking for an alternative form of transportation in Miami.

  • One Way Tickets: $15 and up
  • All-Day Pass: $30/Adults | $15/Children

With a 4 star rating on TripAdvisor , it’s safe to say that this is a fairly decent service.

Most reviewers report that the Water Taxi can actually be a lot faster during heavy traffic hours.

If you’re planning on taking a self-guided tour that spans across the city, you might want to consider using the Water Taxi to get around.

  • Free for kids 4 and under.
  • Children's tickets (for age 4-12) are discounted.

If you're just looking for a quick trip across the water, the best way to save money will be the fact that their children's tickets cost less than an adult fare.

However, if you plan to charter a boat, this company does offer charter services on discount sites which allow you to save 50% or more off the regular price for this service.

Yes, you can take a private boat or yacht from Miami to the Bahamas.

The travel time will depend on the vessel's speed and the route chosen.

Typically, it takes between 2 to 6 hours to sail from Miami to the Bahamas by private boat, depending on factors such as sea conditions, boat speed, and the specific destination in the Bahamas.

Ferries prioritize safety with experienced operators and regular inspections, ensuring a secure journey.
