Affiliate Disclosure

Plainly, and before anything else: Miami Night Tours may earn a commission when you book through a link on this site, at no extra cost to you.

What that means in practice

The tours listed here are sold through GetYourGuide and Viator. When you follow a link from one of these pages and go on to book, the platform pays us a share of its own commission. You pay the same fare either way; the price on the booking page is the operator's price, not a marked-up one.

What we are not

We are not a tour operator. We do not run any of these tours, employ any of these guides, captains or crews, or hold your booking. Your contract is with the operator, through the platform.

We have no connection with Bayside Marketplace, the City of Miami, the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, or any cruise, bus, ATV or nightlife company.

How tours get listed

Operators cannot pay for placement, position or a badge. A badge on a card is a measured claim: Top rated only on a tour rated 4.9 or higher, Best seller only on the tour with the most reviews, Best value only on the lowest fare that buys what the site is about. A platform's own badge is not shown.

Today Best seller sits on the private boat from the Miami River, which has the most reviews, and Top rated on Miami Aqua Tours' open-bar night cruise, rated 4.9 from hundreds of reviews. A few tours show 5.0 from a handful of reviews, which is not enough to measure. The lowest fare listed is an ATV park's $15, which buys park entry only, with $100 a person due at the gate, so nothing is marked Best value.

The featured tours at the top of the homepage are three different evenings from three different starts: the open-bar cruise from Bayside, the private boat from the Miami River, and the salsa night at Mango's on Ocean Drive.

Miami Aqua Tours sells both an open-bar night cruise and a skyline cruise from the same dock. They are different tours, never shown side by side, and each is described from its own page.

Prices, ratings and how current they are

Prices, star ratings and review counts belong to the operators and were taken from their own listings on 27 September 2026. They move, and the figure at checkout is the one that counts. Every fare is quoted in US dollars, the currency the listings were captured in. The fares are per person except the yacht, which is priced for a group of up to 13. Some listings showed a reduced price on that date, and it may not last.

Where a fare leaves out a charge that the listing itself names, such as a captain fee, a marina fee, fuel, a required tip or a balance at the gate, we print it beside the price. Sunset and dark times come from the U.S. Naval Observatory, the hurricane season from the National Hurricane Center, and Bayside's hours from its own visit page. Where a detail comes from a listing, such as a meeting point, a start time or what the fare covers, it belongs to that tour.

What we deliberately do not publish

• Time on the water we cannot confirm. The open-bar night cruise is sold as a 2-hour booking, and its operator says the regular sailings are shorter. We say "a 2-hour booking, boarding included", never "two hours on the water".
• A meeting point that disagrees with itself. The Big Bus listing and Big Bus's own page give different street numbers for Stop #1 at Bayside, so we print neither and ask you to check the stop on your ticket.
• A start time the listing does not give. The panoramic bus, the van tour and the pedal pub print none, so we do not supply one.
• Figures no official source settles. The Skyviews Miami wheel's hours and prices, the drive time to the ATV farms, and a glow on every quad: some quads carry a single glow stick.
• A service the fare excludes. The club night's page address mentions transport, but its listing excludes it, and so do we. The true-crime cruise tells documented history; its operator says it is not a haunted boat tour, and so do we.
