A day trip to Miami from New York
Why not make the most of your stay in New York with a day trip to Miami? Discover this original excursion that takes you to Florida's famous beach resort, just a short flight away.
New York offers easy access to other parts of America. Washington, Boston, and Philadelphia are nearby cities worth visiting. Niagara Falls, often overlooked, straddles the border between Canada and New York State. For more information, see our page on day trips from New York.
But here’s a chance to explore a very different American destination, a bit farther south: Miami, Florida’s famous beach resort, about 1,800 km (1,120 mi) south of New York.
This day trip is by plane. You’ll depart early from New York, fly for about 3 hours, and arrive in Downtown Miami between 10 am and 11 am.
Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour
To make the most of your time, the excursion includes tickets for a Hop-On Hop-Off bus tour, just like in New York. You can choose a route through Downtown, or one to Miami Beach, or both. Don’t skip the Miami Beach route—that’s the real highlight of a Miami day trip. You’ll see the stunning Art Deco waterfront along Ocean Drive. Get off the bus and stroll at your own pace.
The excursion also includes lunch at Hard Rock Miami, with priority access so you won’t wait in line.
It’s a great way to see one of America’s most iconic cities in a single day. You’ll likely want to come back.
