Today’s Groupon gives you the opportunity to discover the Miami coastline the way Ponce de León did 500 years ago, when the mists of the open sea parted to reveal the glittering shores of Millionaire’s Row and Shaq's old mansion. For $13, you get to step aboard a 90-minute sightseeing cruise with Island Queen Cruises (up to a $26 value). The value of this Groupon is based on adult admission; children (ages 4–12) are normally $18, and children under 3 always cruise for free. Ships set sail from Bayside Marketplace from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day of the week and every week of the year. Available departure times are listed in the sidebar to the right.

The bi-level sea vessel provides 90 minutes of dolphin’s-eye views of the city. See the skyline, Fisher Island, Miami Beach, and Millionaire’s Row from the comforts of this floating chariot. Each boat features an air-conditioned lower deck to encapsulate heat-sensitive captivators and an open-air top deck to properly soak up some salty ocean air, also known as Sailor's Delight and Seal Brew. For more palpable procurement, the boat also hosts a full cash bar with a small number of snacks available.

Get a second Groupon for a date for two with your lover, spouse, or favorite football mascot. For additional eyeball exercise, bookend your excursion with some window shopping and indoor shopping at the outdoor Bayside Marketplace shopping mall.

This Groupon is valid for Island Queen Cruise's sightseeing cruises only. Reservations not accepted.

• A life-long Miamian I'd taken a similar tour once before and I strongly believe that everyone should take one of these once during their time in Miami, if for nothing more than fact learning and sight seeing. – Maria A., Yelp
