Thinking about booking a Miami party bus for your next big day out? It can be a great transportation option or even be your group’s main source of entertainment for the entire day! Are you unsure on pricing, vehicle types, potential stops, activities and company options? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! This guide will cover all of that and more so you can ensure you book the right party bus at the right price for your next day out in Miami.
Set Your Budget
Going out on the town can be as cheap or as expensive as your group wants, as long as you plan accordingly. Otherwise, you might spend more than you anticipated once the drinks are a flowin’. Pro Tip: Get all of your shopping out of the way before you start drinking, otherwise you might have some buyer's remorse!
Also, if you make sure to stock the party bus with plenty of alcohol you can reduce the number of drinks you have to buy at the bar, these quickly add up with drinks in the Magic City averaging over 15 dollars.
One of the best ways to save money on a party bus is by booking a round-trip discounted rate. On a round-trip service, you will only have access to the vehicle at the beginning and end of your reservation but it will save you a lot of money. Take advantage of this service by booking a lunch reservation near all of the bars and shops on Miami Beach and plan on walking to your various stops throughout the day. This is a favorite of clients who stay in Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Coconut Grove.
Another key part of your day's budget will be what activities you decide on. Will you walk on the beach for free or hire a private tour guide for the afternoon?


Decide on Your Vehicle
No two party buses are the same and finding the right one for you is crucial to your day's success. We recommend only true party buses, outfitted with wraparound seating, surround sound speakers, LED mood lighting and bars. Check out our 6 things to look for in a Miami party bus article for more precise information. You will also want to make sure your party bus is big enough for your entire party plus a few extra spots in case you meet any fun locals!

Build an Itinerary
Creating the perfect itinerary for your night out is just as important as finding the right vehicle! We’d love to tell you the exact route you should take, but everyone has their own preferences. Whether that’s dive bars, retail shops, breweries, a boat tour, rooftop lounges or pool clubs. Personally, we recommend a little bit of everything!

Lunch
You’re going to want to eat before you start ripping polar bear fights at Strawberry Moon, luckily Miami has one of the most diverse food scenes in the country. Miami specialties include crab claws at Joe’s Stone Crab, tortas at Versailles Cuban and empanadas at Graziano’s Market. If you’re trying to utilize the day as much as possible we recommend hitting up a counter-service spot, saving you time for activities. Also you’ll need to stop at Icebox Cafe in Miami Beach for their famous key lime pie!
Get on the Water
A trip to Miami is not complete without getting out on the water! Most people assume that is going to cost a lot of money, which it can if you want to rent a private boat or yacht. But those are not the only options! You can jetski, parasail, swim or hop on a boat tour. The sightseeing cruise of Biscayne bay is only $30 and offers a chance to see the Miami skyline, Venetian Islands and celebrity mansions. You will also learn quite a bit from the tour guide and have the opportunity to purchase drinks on the boat.


Shop
Miami has several great shopping areas spread out all over the County, so you’ll want to make sure you go to the right one for your taste/budget. The Miami Design District has all of the luxury brands and is located just north of Downtown. Miracle Mile is located in the Coral Gables neighborhood and is know for its independent boutiques and specialist stores. Tropicana Flea Market is one of the most popular destinations on the weekends and has over 200 vendors!
Pro Tip: Meet up with your Miami party bus to drop off all of your purchases so you don't have to lug them around all day (or accidentally leave them at a bar).
Hire a Tour Guide
While you can find out most information online these days, there's nothing quite like the perfect tour guide. They know all of the local secrets and can you tell information that is simply not on Google. Some of our favorites include food tours, celebrity home tours and Everglades Swamp boat tours. We recommend Private Tours of Miami, who specializes in custom tours. This way you can pick the appropriate amount of time and stops for your group!


Drink
There are hundreds of drinking establishments in Miami and far too many great ones to list in this article. We recommend starting off the day with a cabana at either Strawberry moon or the 1 Hotel’s pool & bar. Then check out Weekends at the Wharf. Oasis Wynwood is also a good spot for evening concerts and delicious bites.
Take Pictures
Want memorable pictures from your unforgettable day out in Miami? Have your party bus take you down to the Wynwood Walls or South Beach, preferably after lunch and before the bars. You can time it up with golden hour for some great pics on the water. It’s also a great time to dance around the party bus a little longer and put back a couple more shots before you go out for the night.

Bonus: 4:20 Yoga at Club Space
Miami’s favorite (or 2nd favorite after E11even) club known for their 24-hour partying also offers yoga at 4:20 pm everyday. This is a great way to gain some clarity and break up your day and evening. Come out from their beautiful terrace feeling recharged and ready to tackle Miam’s bustling nightlife.
