From $365 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Lahaina Inn 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.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Lahaina Inn Resort sits on Estero Island in Fort Myers Beach, with its front door at 5580 Estero Boulevard, 33931. This is the barrier-island stretch of Florida’s Gulf coast, a long ribbon of sand where the beach and the boulevard run side by side. The resort keeps you within reach of the water on one side and the island’s shops and cafes on the other, so most of what you came for is a short walk from where you are staying.
Estero Island is built for bare feet. The sand is broad and soft, the kind you sink into on a slow morning, and the passes at either end of the island are known for the dolphins that work the tide. At the island’s heart is the Times Square pier district, the walkable core where the fishing pier meets a cluster of open-air spots to eat and watch the Gulf. It is a compact, easygoing place, and the resort puts you close to all of it.
When you reach, you step into a beach town rather than a city, and the pace is unhurried, the day shaping itself around the tide and the light. If you are planning extra days here, the official Fort Myers Islands & Beaches visitor guide is a solid starting point for what is open and what is worth the walk. For now, the resort is merely the quiet end of a long journey day, waiting at the far side of your ride from the port.
Your ride begins right at the ship’s terminal at Port of Miami, not in a distant parking lot. Once you clear customs, your chauffeur meets you curbside, takes the bags, and loads them while you settle in. Terminal pickups feature an hour of free waiting, so the disembarkation lines never cost you the ride within that time. From there it is one direct leg to Lahaina Inn Resort, with no stops and no shared seats, the vehicle reserved for your group alone.
The route runs by way of I-595 and covers roughly 144.7 miles, which takes about 155 to 167 minutes depending on the hour and the traffic. Your luggage stays in the vehicle the whole way, and the driver handles it again at the resort. It is a long stretch of road, so having your own car means you set the departure time and the pace, straight from the terminal to the door.
