I'll be travelling to Miami from Singapore for a cruise to Bahamas and will be extending 4 days in Miami after my cruise in Feb 2011, but I didn't really want to just spend 4 days shopping with my mates. I am hoping to travel up north to visit the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) but after some searching online, I can't find a suitable route there. I don't drive, that's the thing. The bus that goes from Miami to Orlando takes 3 hours and with that I won't be able to catch those tour buses (I see those on Viator or GoOrlando) that goes to KSC. Those tour buses departs from Orlando at 7:30am and the tours takes 11 hours. I am hoping to do KSC in 1 day including the 3 hour ride up and down Orlando. Is it possible? I really need help and advice on this please!!! Thanks!
It is over 200 miles from Miami to Titusville which is about the closest to KSC. There is a bus that goes to Titusville from Miami, but it takes 5 hours, so I don't think that's a viable option for a day trip. I think if you want to do the GoOrlando or some similar tour it would be best to take a really early flight from Miami to Orlando. It will be a LONG day.

Here are two other options for getting from Miami to Orlando/KSC. Like the last person noted, it is a long drive, so you may want to consider staying the night in Orlando, but it can be done in a day (you can sleep on the bus :) ). cheapfloridabus.com/kennedy.... floridasunshineshuttle.com/k... You mentioned taking the "official" tour, which is 11 hours, but the last time I did KSC my friends and I did the general admission tour and it was much shorter than 11 hours. There are guided tours of the facilities that depart every 15 minutes and take you around the grounds. When you finish that, you can check out the museums and exhibits they have in the main visitors center. That may help you make more efficient use of your time. Here's the info on the facilities tour: kennedyspacecenter.com/ksc-t...

Actually I also wish to just cover KSC within half a day. But being a non-driver, the transportation is a headache. Only these tour buses get into the facility (correct me if I am wrong) and majority the buses have an itinerary. If so, anyone knows how I can get there on my own then? I am considering the overnight option as so far there is no way I can just cover KSC and get back to Miami within a day.
