Itinerary - Florida 360°: Orlando, Miami and Key West

Round trip flights are not included in the package, so you can choose from where and when you want to fly. This is to give you maximum freedom of choice!

Check-in at the hotel in Miami, and meet the rest of your group! Let's head out together to explore the city and find somewhere nice to grab some food. Here, let's cheers to the beginning of our adventure!

We won't be in Miami for long (but don’t worry, we'll be back very soon!). We'll grab our rental cars and hit the road. Let's make sure we have the perfect playlist for our 4-hour drive to our destination today: the beautiful Key West! This drive will be anything but boring; we'll be traveling on the Overseas Highway, a stunning route that stretches over the sea with a series of bridges connecting the Keys and leading us to the southernmost point of the United States!

We'll arrive just in time for lunch, where we can eat whatever we want, but for dessert, we can't miss out on Key Lime Pie, the signature treat of Key West. With our bellies full, we'll head to the beach for an afternoon of our choice: water sports, relaxation, or starting early with some cocktails! In the evening, we'll enjoy a nice dinner and toast to our adventure. After dinner... how about we kick off the night with some dancing?

We'll take a stroll through the centre of Key West to soak in the spirit of this charming island, located just 170 km from Cuba - it already feels like the Caribbean! We'll visit Hemingway's house, where he lived for ten years, and explore the museum to discover what inspired the famous author to write his works. After our visit, we'll head to the Southernmost Point for the customary photo at the buoy marking the southernmost point in the United States.

Before lunch, we’ll carve out an hour to rent kayaks and paddle through the waves, exploring Key West from the sea. After returning to the mainland, we'll grab a bite to eat and then set off. Our first stop is Honda Bay for a quick dip, and then we continue to Marathon via the Seven Mile Bridge, a spectacular stretch spanning the sea. This evening, we'll unwind in some of Marathon's bars: beer in hand and good music will be the perfect accompaniment!

Rise and shine! We have many kilometers ahead of us. We'll reluctantly say goodbye to the Keys and head into Everglades National Park, a vast region of swamps, mangroves, subtropical flora, and wildlife. Keep an eye out for alligators, crocodiles, herons, ibis, storks, and the inevitable mosquitoes (don't forget the insect repellent!). We'll arrive by lunchtime and board an airboat for an excursion through the park, aiming to spot at least one crocodile.

In this part of Florida, some places serve fried alligator meat, so it's up to us to decide if we're brave enough to try it! After lunch, we'll hit the road again, and in a couple of hours, we'll arrive in Naples, our final stop for the day. We'll unwind for a bit and then pick a restaurant for dinner. Maybe tonight we'll go for a hamburger, a favourite here in the States!

This morning, we'll set off again, reaching Tampa by mid-morning, but we won't stop in the city. Instead, we'll head straight to Clearwater Beach, where we'll spend a couple of hours enjoying the sun and sea, just enough to recharge our batteries. We'll grab something to eat on the way and then get back on the road. Today's final destination is the capital of Florida!

Orlando is famous for its amusement parks. Tomorrow, we'll have plenty of time to explore them (choosing between Universal Studios and Disneyland will definitely test the group's unity!). This evening, we'll take a stroll around the city, enjoying its relaxed atmosphere and the palm trees that remind us of the beaches we've seen in the past few days. We'll find a restaurant that catches our eye and enjoy a lovely evening in Orlando!

As we planned yesterday, today is all about having fun! We'll pick our favourite park to spend the day: Disneyland will transport us back to childhood, with princesses wandering through castles and beloved cartoon characters greeting us along the way. At Universal Studios, we'll dive into the iconic sets of Marvel's blockbuster films and step into the enchanting realm of Harry Potter—fans will be thrilled by the sight of Hogwarts and the adventure of boarding the Hogwarts Express!

After coming back to Earth, we’ll set off again and return to base camp: the compass this afternoon is pointed towards Miami! We’ll arrive in the late afternoon, put down our backpacks and go straight to the beach: we’ll enjoy the last hours of the day, when the sun is gentler and the tan turns golden! We’ll wait here for the sunset: the sun is not swallowed by the sea but by the city skyline and the view is really impressive!

Today we finally enjoy the sea of ​​Miami : the beach of Miami Beach is infinite and we can decide where to lie down in the sun - let's not forget the sun cream, the rays are unforgiving here! This morning we'll take it easy: we can take a long walk along the seafront , rent a bike and cycle or dive into the waves - the water here is inviting so saying no will be almost impossible! For lunch we find a stall where we can try street food - here the fish tacos are amazing!

The fun doesn't end here, this afternoon we're taking a one-hour tour to see the city from another point of view... from the sea aboard a speedboat: the most exciting way to combine the thrill of speed with beach life vibes.

After last night's party, this morning we'll take it easy: we'll get up at an easy pace and then head for the centre of Miami. Once here we'll decide how to spend the morning: there are many districts worth visiting but two are a must-do! The first one is Little Havana, where you can already breathe the Cuban air and the Latin rhythm, the second one is Wynwood, the heart of Miami street art, where we can walk through the streets and see graffiti by some of the best artists in the world.

After lunch we are free for the afternoon : we can continue exploring the city, perhaps doing a pre-departure shopping session, or we can return to Miami Beach to enjoy the last hours at the beach .

In the evening we can have an aperitif in the heart of Miami Beach in a chic place, but let's not relax too much, tonight we have a salsa lesson to recall the Cuban vibes of this morning. To let us go to the rhythm a bit, there will be an excellent mojito waiting for us and, after having learned the first steps, we can throw ourselves on the dance floor all evening long! What better way to say goodbye than by getting involved on the last evening too?!

Time to go back home: see you again on your next WeRoad adventure!
