Whether you are planning a solo trip or a family trip, Miami has some unique experiences in store for you. However, to enjoy the experience, you need to be aware of some common mistakes that Miami tourists suffer for.

Booking Tours Without Comparing Packages

From water sports tours to Miami jet helicopter tours, there are a plethora of tours to choose from. Book a city tour for city sightseeing. Book a speedboat sightseeing tour, to enjoy the coastline. Book Miami jet helicopter tours to get an aerial view of both the city and the coast. When you book any tour, you should compare the tour packages of all the tour providers offering similar services. Check out their websites and book the tours in advance to get the best price. If you do not compare packages then you might be stuck with an underwhelming experience.

Sticking to South Beach

South Beach is where hordes of people go to sunbathe and enjoy beach activities. While you can enjoy activities at South Beach, you should also venture to other parts of the city. You can leave the beaches to visit Little Havana, the Art Deco District, and the Wynwood neighborhood and many more parts of the city.

Remaining in the City

While Miami city has its share of exciting places to visit, experiences are awaiting beyond city limits. You can visit the Venetian pools to enjoy the beautifully designed water park. A short helicopter ride can take you to the Bahamas for a day trip as well. Look for day trip options from Miami.

Depending on Public Transport

There are busses and a Metrorail system in Miami but counting on them can be dicey. The routes of the Metrorail are limited, and the busses are sporadic. Do not count on public transport, rent a car or hire taxis instead.

Tipping

When you pay your bill at a bar or restaurant an 18% gratuity is added to the bill. Most tourists remain unaware of the tip being included in the bill and proceed to tip their servers and bartenders twice. Always ask for a bill to check if you have already paid the gratuity or whether you need to tip separately.

Underestimating Costs

A night out in Miami can take a big chunk out of your budget. When you visit a bar or restaurant, you need to be prepared with extra cash. For a modest dinner, you need to budget $60-$70 per person. So, even with a well-planned holiday do not expect your vacation in Miami to be a cheap one.

Trying to Enter Famous Clubs

If you want to party at popular Miami clubs, then you might be in for a tough night. Getting into the hottest clubs in Miami can be an impossible task. If any famous DJ is playing at the club that night, then you might as well skip the club. Even if you do manage to get into the clubs, you will experience horrible service and a messy crowd.

Not Taking Enough Sun Protection

Whether you are chilling at the beach or taking Miami jet helicopter tours, sun protection is essential. Take the strongest sunscreen available and keep reapplying. Carry sunglasses, hats, and umbrellas to save your body from getting damaged by the sun.
