- Day 2
Miami to Florida Keys (365 km)
Start your morning exploring Miami before driving south on the Overseas Highway. The drive to Key West is about 4 hours, but set aside 6 hours for stops.

- Day 3
Everglades and Fort Myers (365 km)

- Day 4
Gulf Coast to Crystal River (330 km)
Drive across the Sunshine Skyway Bridge (toll: $1.50) to Crystal River. Book an afternoon boat tour for better chances of seeing manatees. If you plan to swim with manatees tomorrow, arrange your wetsuit rental today.
- Day 5
Crystal River to Orlando via St. Augustine (380 km)
Start early for manatee swimming at 6:30 AM when the water is calmest. Visit St. Augustine next. Park at the Visitor Center ($15/day) to easily walk the historic district. Head to Orlando for the evening.
- Day 6
Orlando Activities
Choose between Kennedy Space Center or Disney/Universal parks. Kennedy Space Center opens at 9 AM. If you pick Magic Kingdom, arrive early because the park often reaches capacity by midday.
- Day 7
Orlando to Miami (370 km)
Take I-95 South back to Miami. Take an evening boat tour through Millionaire's Row from Bayside Marketplace. The 6:30 PM tour offers great sunset views of celebrity homes.

A captivating Florida circuit spans 2,100 km through Keys, Orlando, St. Augustine, and Everglades, with 7 hotel nights and around 300 km daily travel.
- Day 1
Miami Arrival
Land at Miami International Airport and use the free hotel shuttle running every 30 minutes. Book a mid-afternoon arrival to avoid rush hour traffic. Your evening orientation meeting helps you plan the week and meet other travelers.
- Day 2
Miami Beach to Florida Keys (200 km)
Take an early morning drive down US-1 to Key West. The trip takes about 3.5 hours not counting stops. Make time for photos at Seven Mile Bridge and Key Deer refuge. Get to Duval Street for lunch before it gets too crowded. "The sunset catamaran cruise was worth every penny - just bring a light jacket as it gets breezy on the water."
- Day 3
Fort Myers (348 km)
Drive to St. Petersburg's waterfront district in the morning before it heats up. Then head to Fort Myers with its beautiful royal palms and historic estates. Visit the Edison & Ford Winter Estates after 3 PM when it's less crowded.

Orlando via Kennedy Space Center (436 km)
Get an early start to Cape Canaveral. Arrive at Kennedy Space Center right at 9 AM opening to avoid crowds. You'll want 4-5 hours to see everything. Reach Orlando by afternoon and check out International Drive's shops and restaurants.
- Day 5
Orlando
Take a full day to explore Orlando. The Rosen Inn puts you right near Pointe Orlando and major attractions. Buy theme park tickets ahead of time to skip long lines at the gates.
- Day 6
Orlando
Another day for Orlando attractions. The I-RIDE trolley is a good way to get around. It runs every 20 minutes on International Drive and costs less than parking. Visit Disney Springs in early evening after the crowds thin out.
- Day 7
St. Augustine & Cocoa Beach (367 km)
Head to St. Augustine early. See Castillo de San Marco first before it gets too hot. Save St. George Street walking for late afternoon when it's cooler. End your day watching the sunset from Cocoa Beach Pier.
- Day 8
Miami Beach (268 km)
Take Highway A1A back to Miami for great ocean views. Tour South Beach's Art Deco district and Little Havana. If you're flying out next day, stay near the airport since morning traffic can be heavy.
8 Days in Florida, incl. Orlando and the Keys
An immersive route from Orlando to Miami unfolds over eight days. Two nights each in Orlando, Naples/Bonita Springs, and Florida Keys, plus Clearwater stay, perfectly blend theme parks, beaches, and nature reserves.
- Days 1-2
Orlando:
Start your Florida trip in Orlando. Pick up your rental car at MCO airport in the afternoon to avoid morning crowds. For Universal Studios, get there 30 minutes before opening at 9 AM to beat the rush at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Magic Kingdom needs a full day. Start with popular rides like Space Mountain early when lines are shorter. Book your hotel near Universal Boulevard for easy access to parks and restaurants.
- Day 3
Gulf Coast:
Take a 2.5-hour drive west to St. Petersburg. Visit the Salvador Dali Museum right when it opens at 10 AM to avoid the busy midday period. Spend your afternoon at Clearwater Beach with its soft white sand. The beach is quietest before 11 AM or after 4 PM once most tourists leave.
- Days 4-5
Naples & Everglades:
Drive south across the Sunshine Skyway Bridge (toll: $1.50) to Naples. Walk down 5th Avenue South at sunset when restaurants fill their outdoor tables. Book an Everglades airboat tour for early morning when animals are out and the temperature is cooler. Pack bug spray, especially if you're visiting in summer.
- Days 6-7
Florida Keys:
Drive to Key West early. It's about 4 hours from Naples. Stop at Bahia Honda State Park at mile marker 37 for amazing beach views. Once in Key West, leave your car parked. The historic area is perfect for walking or biking. Watch the sunset at Mallory Square but get there 45 minutes early for a good spot.
- Day 8
Miami Finale:
The Key West to Miami drive takes about 3.5 hours. If you're flying out, drop your bags at your hotel first. Airport car returns can take extra time.
