From $340 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Falling Waters Beach Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Falling Waters Beach Resort sits in Naples, over on Florida’s Gulf coast — the opposite side of the peninsula from the cruise piers you just left behind. The drive trades the Atlantic-facing bustle of the port for the calmer, powder-soft sand this stretch of the coast is known for. It is a change of pace as much as a change of address: warm water, broad beaches, and a town built for slowing down once your ship has done its part.
The town around the resort gives you ample to fill the hours. The Naples Pier is the local landmark, a simple walk out over the Gulf, and Fifth Avenue South lines up galleries, shops, and places to eat within the same few blocks. Third Street South sits neighboring with more of the same unhurried browsing, while the Naples Botanical Garden trades pavement for planted paths a short distance away. None of it asks you to rush.
For the resort itself — the amenities on site, whether the front desk can hold your bags, and how early a room might open — the property’s own page is the place to confirm the current details. Your part is simpler: offer us the address once, and the vehicle brings you and your luggage to the door. After a morning of disembarkation lines, arriving in Naples with the driving already handled is the simple half of the day.
Once your group clears the terminal on Dodge Island, the chauffeur is already staged and meets you at the curb — no parking lot, no line, no scramble with the bags on the sidewalk. The luggage goes straight into the vehicle, and from there it is one direct leg to Falling Waters Beach Resort by way of Southwest 8th Street and US-41, roughly 126.9 miles across the peninsula.
Cruise mornings never release everyone at once, so a 60-minute courtesy wait is built into the pickup — the driver absorbs customs and the luggage hall while you walk out at your own pace. Plan on 124 to 135 minutes on the road, depending on the hour, and the same private vehicle stays yours the whole way, one group only, door to door.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
