Scooter Rentals
The wind in your hair, the sun on your shoulders and the freedom to come and go as you please - there's no better way to see the Beach. South Florida has a lot to offer those who want to see the city during daylight hours, but traveling via car can definitely put a damper in your sightseeing. Traffic and limited parking make car travel less than ideal. If you're craving a taste of Miami Beach's sites, hop on a scooter and go. Scooters offer the ease of bicycle traveling with the speed of a motorized vehicle. Rental shops like Beach Scooter make motoring around Miami as smooth as a day at the beach. With three locations, there are always plenty of scooters to rent and a wide variety to choose from. Brands like Malaguti, TBG, Kymco and Kasea fill the 5,000-foot showroom at Beach Scooter. Zip around on a one-seater or grab a friend and rent a two-seater for your tour.

Jet-Ski Rentals
If your South Florida daytime to do list involves swimming alongside dolphin, spying manatee in the wild and racing against your best friend in a Yamaha Wave Runner, then a Jet-Ski rental is in order. And if you are going to ride the waves, why not enjoy Miami's sites along the way? Be the captain of your own ship as you see Miami through its waterways. Rental companies like Jet-Ski Tours of Miami Inc. offer a six-island tour with highlights such as a trip through the Port of Miami. Here, riders can bid farewell to the cruise ships. Next, ride through the posh Star Island, South Florida's celebrity retreat. On your wet and wild journey, visit the monument at Sir Flagler Island and take a spin around Bayside's Hard Rock Cafe.

Biscayne Bay and Star Island Boat Tours

With close proximity to International Waterways, the roll of the die is just minutes away. One of Miami's most popular cruises, Casino Princesa, offers slot machines, black jack, craps, poker and roulette aboard its state-of-the-art mega yacht. The Princesa sets sail for its four-and-a-half-hour cruises twice every day. And if you happen to spend all of your cash in the first hour, don't fret; the ship also boasts a buffet, as well as dancing.

Miami Duck Tours
Despite what you may think, Miami's famous Duck Tour doesn't actually have any ducks involved. Instead of spotting wild animals in their natural habitat, you'll actually get to see Miami in a cruiser built for both land and sea. The 90-minute narrated adventure begins on Ocean Drive and 10th Street, as the duck mobile makes its way to famous sites like Ocean Drive and the historical Art Deco District and then, before you know it, the amphibious vehicle dives to the waters of Biscayne Bay. Floating down the waterway, you'll see the celebrity hotspots on Millionaires Row and experience Miami's famous islands. The Duck Tour offers a rich history of Miami in a creative way - a tour unlike any other in South Florida. The Duck Tour also leaves daily from Bayside Marketplace.

Segway HT Rentals
It may look like something straight out of the Jetsons, but the Segway HT is actually the first and only electric transporter that mimics human balance. Used by celebrities and even the president, the Segway is quickly becoming the most popular form of leisurely travel. Topping off at 12 and a half miles and hour, the Segway lets riders take to the sidewalks with ease, and its definitely more eye catching and fun then walking. If you are looking to zip about South Beach and want to be as much of an attraction as the Historic Art Deco District, Electric Rentals offers a tour of South Beach Segway style. Each tour lasts about an hour and includes a short training course of how to operate your human transporter.

Pirate Ships
Miami's El Loro Pirate Ship offers the same glamorous sightseeing tours of Biscayne Bay as many other cruise ships only with the novelty of an old-fashioned pirate ship. Onboard the classic-looking ship, mates dress in full pirate gear as they pillage through Biscayne Bay and the Venetian Islands, narrating the history of the South Florida destinations. From the full sails to the black cross-bones flag, the trip is truly original, not to mention whimsically different from other tours. Docked at Bayside Marketplace, El Loro sails four times a day and starts its tours at 12:30 p.m.

If it's a pirate's life you're interested in experiencing in Miami's sizzling sun, call 305.860.8854 for more information.

Parasailing
For those more adventurous Miami Beach visitors who would like to try parasailing over the Atlantic or Biscayne Bay, there are three options to choose from - Pinky's Parasail, Boucher Brothers and Parasail Miami Beach.
With Boucher Brothers and Parasail Miami Beach a shuttle boat takes you right from the beach to one of their new 28-foot, 230-horsepower crafts designed specifically for Parasailing. The Captain will explain all the necessary safety procedures and once you feel comfortable, you gently ascend as high as 800 feet above the water, then descend directly to the rear Parasailing platform, all while cradled in a sitting harness that holds you securely. You can even ride with a partner.
