    UK - Miami

    Welcome to Miami! Upon arrival at Miami International Airport, you will be warmly welcomed and whisked off to the sunny shores of Miami Beach by your driver. Check into your intimate beachfront hotel overlooking white sands and crystal blue waters. Take the rest of the day to relax and explore the shoreline or boutiques and restaurants downtown.

    Miami - Everglades

    Join your driver guide and head to Everglades National Park. The day begins with an exhilarating airboat ride. As you glide over the water look out for the resident alligators. Back on land take part in a naturalist-led hike along a swamp trail. Lunch is taken in Everglades City, dubbed the ‘Stone Crab Capital of the World’. Afterwards, look out for bottleneck dolphins and manatees during a guided boat trip through Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge taking you through intricate mangrove forests.

    Miami - Florida Keys

    Leave the ‘Magic City’ behind this morning as you make your way south to the Florida Keys after picking up your rental vehicle. City lights give way to expansive mangrove forests as you approach ‘the stretch’ the famous road 29-kilometre road which links the archipelago to the mainland. Travelling along the Overseas Highway – widely considered one of America’s most scenic routes – admire views of the turquoise waters that surround you before arriving at your hotel in Key Largo.

    Florida Keys

    Today, take a private boat charter with your dedicated captain. You may opt to snorkel over coral reefs and underwater statues or take a stand-up paddleboard to make your way into a mangrove forest. As the Florida Keys is one of the world’s best sport fishing destinations; both backcountry and deep-sea options are available. Alternatively, you may decide to spend your day visiting uninhabited islands to swim in crystal-clear waters. A delicious picnic lunch will be served on an idyllic off-the-beaten-path sandbar. 

    Key West

    Today, your Florida Keys adventure takes you to the southernmost point in the continental United States. Key West is a particularly laid-back destination, full of alfresco restaurants and street performers. We suggest a trip to the Ernest Hemingway House. The author lived here for more than a decade, sharing it with six-toed cats, whose descendants can be seen today. In the evening, visit Mallory Square for the nightly Sunset Celebration.

    Key West

    Today, discover the beauty of Key West during a private bike ride along hidden lanes. Follow your private guide on a hands-on journey through the island, sampling tropical fruit right off the tree, stopping to smell the frangipani flowers and breezing by the historic homes of Tennessee Williams, Judy Blume, and Ernest Hemingway. Round off the day with a visit a wildlife reserve, explore a botanical garden and enjoy expansive views of the surrounding waters.

    Key West

    It’s your last day, so spend some time at Fort Zachary Taylor State Park and its adjacent beach. Set near the southernmost tip of Key West, the Civil War fort is an atmospheric relic and is often used for special events. Bag one of the picnic tables and settle in for an afternoon’s swimming, snorkelling and sunbathing. If you’re interested in Civil War history, there are daily tours of the site.

    Key West - Miami - UK

    Head to Key West Airport for your flight to Miami and connection back home. Alternatively, add a few days on to the end of your stay in the cosmopolitan city of Miami. Stay on South Beach and explore one of the most impressive art deco districts in the world. It’s fronted by lively Ocean Drive, where you can grab an early breakfast and watch the sun rise over the Atlantic.
