Florida tours & vacations

At this stage we don't have any organized trips to Florida.

That said, Intrepid can create tailor-made tours to many destinations, including Florida. Our fully customized trips still offer the same small group experiences with local leaders, but made just the way you want it. Simply fill out your details on our  Tailor-Made  page and one of our travel specialists will be in touch.

It's true when they say summer and adventures never end in Florida. From world-famous theme parks and exhilarating sporting events to tropical islands and city streets filled with Latin and Caribbean sights, sounds and smells, Florida has it all. Follow your Intrepid leader as you wander the vibrant streets of Little Havana using all five senses as your compass. Zip through Everglades National Park on an airboat in search of alligators and manatees. Or eat and drink your way through the historic Española Way. More adventures are waiting for you off the mainland in the Florida Keys , from kayaking in coastal mangrove forests to exploring colorful coral reefs and uncovering the history of Key West.

Florida travel FAQs

Do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

How to get to the Florida Keys

If you’re traveling to Florida from other states or overseas, the main airports are Orlando, Miami, Tampa, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Jacksonville. These airports are serviced by most major commercial US airlines. Orlando and Miami have regular flights from the UK and Europe. You may also be able to take a train interstate with companies like   Amtrak   and   Brightline , depending on where you’re coming from. 

If you're driving to Florida, you can take one of three interstate highways: I-95 or I-75 from the north and the I-10 from the west. 

How do I get around Florida?

Mainland Florida is well connected and easy to get around by car or public transport. Bus companies like   Megabus   and   Greyhound   offer daily services to popular cities around Florida including Orlando, Miami and West Palm Beach. It's an affordable and comfortable way to get around.

If you're planning on traveling in the north and south or to the Florida Keys archipelago, you might be better off renting a car if you're not traveling as part of a tour. Although there are good public transport networks, having a car allows you to travel around with ease and you won't have to rely on buses or trains.

What is the weather like in Florida?

Northern parts of Florida such as Jacksonville and Tallahassee have a temperate climate with seasonal weather variation, including below-freezing temperatures and a chance of snow in winter. Central and southern areas like Miami and the Florida Keys have a tropical maritime climate and only two seasons: wet (summer/fall) and dry (winter/spring). Florida summers are generally very hot and humid with daily highs often reaching the mid-90s (°F). 

The wet season is hot and human with average daytime highs hovering around 91°F. Thunderstorms are common, as well as the occasional hurricane, between June and September when it’s particularly muggy. The dry season starts in December through May; it's dry and sunny throughout most parts of the state with daytime highs averaging a pleasant 75°F in the south, and a cooler 64°F in the north.

When is the best time to visit the Florida Keys?

Because of its sub-tropical climate, you can have an amazing vacation in Florida any time of year. March to August is the busiest time of year, especially down south around Miami when throngs of students head down for spring break.

If you don’t handle the heat too well, avoid going between June and September as this is when it’s most humid. Hurricane season peaks from mid-August to mid-October. 

The low season is from October to January and it’s much easier (and often cheaper) to book accommodation and activities. The coldest months are November through January, and although it’s never freezing, if you want to make the most of Florida’s beaches and turquoise waters, the warmer months may be best.

The shoulder months of February, March and September offer a good balance of warm weather and smaller crowds.

What are the best annual events in Florida?

There is so much to see and do in Florida including attending these epic and fun-filled annual events: 

• Florida Folk Festival 
• Miami F1 Grand Prix  
• Winterfest Boat Parade 
• Jazz in the Gardens Music Festival 
• Sugar Sand Festival

What should I pack for a trip to Florida?

What to pack for Florida really depends on the type of vacation you want to have. 

Weather-wise, summer in Florida is hot, wet and humid so pack plenty of t-shirts, shorts, skirts and tank tops, as well as a lightweight waterproof jacket or poncho.

Winter is mild so pack similar items, plus a couple of warm layers such as jeans or sweat pants and a sweater for when the temperature drops in the evening.

Regardless of when you visit, you’ll want to bring a comfy pair of shoes to explore on foot, a bathing suit, a day pack and a reusable water bottle.

Are Intrepid trips accessible for travellers with disabilities?

We are committed to making travel widely  accessible , regardless of ability or disability. We do our best to help you see the world, regardless of physical or mental limitations. 

We are always happy to talk to travellers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them toward the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

Exciting nightlife that goes well into the next day, a multitude of amusement parks and nationally protected tropical wetlands - these are all a part of the fun and frolic you enjoy on Florida tours . Not to be left out are its beckoning serene beaches along the longest coastline of any state in the continental U.S.

Here in Key West you can visit Southernmost Point or take a tour of Ernest Hemmingway’s former residence.

Take An Unforgettable Tour Of This Dreamy, Historic Lighthouse In Florida

By: Author David Reeve

Posted on July 16, 2024

Standing tall and proud on the Anastasia Island horizon, the St. Augustine Lighthouse in Florida lures visitors with its timeless charm and breathtaking views.

This iconic beacon, with its black-and-white stripes, is not just a piece of maritime history but a gateway to an adventure packed with stories, scenic vistas, and a fair share of ghostly legends.

As you set foot on the grounds, the salty breeze and the distant call of seagulls instantly transport you to a different era, where lighthouse keepers tended the light with unwavering dedication.

Ready to discover the secrets this historic lighthouse holds?

The first thing grabbing your attention is the impressive height of the St. Augustine Lighthouse, built way back in 1874.

It’s a whopping 165 feet tall, standing there like a monument to human ingenuity and, let’s be honest, a bit of stubbornness.

Each brick in this structure seems to whisper tales from the past, and each step on that spiral staircase is like taking a mini-history lesson, except with cardio.

As you ascend, you might find yourself questioning those extra slices of pizza, but trust me, it’s worth every bead of sweat.

Reaching the top feels like winning a prize at a carnival.

Your reward is a jaw-dropping, panoramic view of St. Augustine, the Atlantic Ocean, and the surrounding marshlands.

It’s the kind of view that makes you want to break into song, or at least take a deep, contented sigh.

Up there, everything seems smaller, quieter, and just a bit more magical.

At the base of the lighthouse, the Maritime Museum is like a little treasure chest waiting to be opened.

Nestled in the lovingly restored quarters where the lighthouse keepers once lived, this museum is a delightful mix of history, artifacts, and fun.

As you walk in, you’re greeted by the rich scent of old wood and the sight of nautical artifacts that tell tales of the sea.

The exhibits dive into the lives of the lighthouse keepers and those of their families, painting a vivid picture of their daily routines, challenges, and triumphs.

Interactive displays mean you’re not just reading about history—you’re experiencing it.

There are tales of shipwrecks that dot the coastline, each with its own dramatic story, and you’ll learn about the crucial role the lighthouse played in guiding ships safely to shore.

It’s like stepping back in time, but without the risk of scurvy.

Outside the museum, the grounds resemble a postcard come to life.

Picture well-maintained, lush greenery inviting you to take a leisurely stroll.

The gardens burst with native plants, their vibrant colors so vivid they seem almost unreal.

It’s a tranquil haven where every flower and shrub adds to the serene atmosphere.

Benches are thoughtfully placed, offering perfect spots to sit, take a deep breath, and simply exist in the moment.

The air is filled with the subtle fragrance of blooming flora, enhancing the sense of peace.

This picturesque setting is a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle, allowing visitors to connect with nature and find a moment of quiet reflection amidst stunning beauty.

But wait, there’s more!

For those who crave a bit of the supernatural, the St. Augustine Lighthouse is also famous for its ghostly residents.

The lighthouse has been featured on several ghost-hunting shows, and the stories of paranormal activity are enough to send shivers down your spine.

Join one of the evening ghost tours, where experienced guides share spine-tingling tales of the spirits that are said to haunt the grounds.

Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, the ghost tour is an exhilarating way to experience the lighthouse after dark.

If visiting with family, the lighthouse offers plenty of activities to keep the little ones entertained.

The interactive exhibits in the museum are designed to be both fun and educational, ensuring that kids learn while they play.

The playground is a hit with younger visitors.

The St. Augustine Lighthouse also hosts a variety of events throughout the year.

From summer camps to holiday celebrations, there’s always something happening at this historic site.

Check their calendar before your visit to see if any special events coincide with your trip.

These events offer a unique way to experience the lighthouse and its rich history.

Food enthusiasts will be delighted to know that the lighthouse is located near some fantastic dining options.

After a day of exploration, treat yourself to a meal at one of the nearby seafood restaurants, where you can enjoy fresh, local catch.

From casual eateries to fine dining establishments, the culinary scene around the lighthouse is sure to satisfy any palate.

When planning your visit, consider the best time to go.

Early mornings and late afternoons offer the most pleasant weather and the best lighting for photography.

The lighthouse is open year-round, but visiting during the off-season can provide a more intimate experience, as you’ll likely encounter fewer crowds.

Accessibility is another important factor to consider.

While the climb to the top of the lighthouse may be challenging for some, the museum and grounds are wheelchair accessible.

The staff at the lighthouse are friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist visitors with any special needs.

The St. Augustine Lighthouse is more than just a historic landmark.

It’s a journey through time, a celebration of maritime heritage, and a source of endless stories and adventures.

Whether you’re a history buff, a thrill-seeker, or simply looking for a beautiful spot to relax and take in the views, this lighthouse has something for everyone.

To plan your visit, make sure to visit St. Augustine Lighthouse’s website or Facebook page for more information.

Tonite was awesome and the green flash sunset was fantastic. I’m so happy you chose to spend time with me on a Salty Adventure. Next time we will hunt for shark teeth!

Sunset cruise for a friends birthday. Beautiful sunset and dolphins and baby ospreys in nests were so cute. Can't wait to go for my anniversary! Captain Danielle has such a clean boat and she drives the boat so smooth you don't even feel the waves.

Beautiful sunset cruise with Captain Danielle!

Weekend Adventures: Florida Stops That Bypass Tourist Traps Plus Thanksgiving Getaways

Avoid theme park madness by exploring art, the everglades and island life in the sunshine state, or spice up your holiday with a trip to kentucky or the yucatan peninsula..

Columbus Monthly ’s Weekend Adventures feature highlights 30 travel ideas to fill your calendar from June to December.  

This installment features ideas ideally suited for November: three Florida destinations that eschew tourist traps, plus two unique Thanksgiving trips to shake up your usual holiday routine.  

Three Florida Destinations That Showcase a Different Side of the Sunshine State

St. Petersburg: Dali, Crafts and Native Art  

Direct flights via Southwest, Breeze (seasonal), Spirit (seasonal); visitstpeteclearwater.com  

Once you have seen enough Florida palm trees and flamingos, upgrade your vacation with a visit to three fascinating St. Petersburg art museums. St. Pete has a free trolley that transports visitors around downtown. First, hop off at the very fine Dali Museum. One of the world’s best collections of Salvador Dali artwork is displayed in roughly chronological order, tracing the genius Spanish painter’s art from conventional to sublimely surreal. The museum, with 2,400 works, is based on the collection of the late A. Reynolds and Eleanor Morse. Before leaving, have a cool drink at the peaceful outdoor patio next to the café and sit on the “melting bench.”   

Next, visit the James Museum of Western and Wildlife Art, created by local businessman Tom James and his wife, Mary. Paintings of the historical West, gorgeous native jewelry and art, bronze sculpture and wildlife paintings immerse visitors in what is or was real, not surreal.   

Finally, visit the 3-year-old Museum of the American Arts and Crafts Movement. This is the only museum in the world devoted specifically to the American Arts and Crafts period of the late 1890s-1930s. See furniture, tile, pottery, stained glass, art and textiles. Local collector Rudy Ciccarello’s personal hobby just kept growing until he had to build a museum to display everything.  Ohioans will appreciate the Cincinnati-made Rookwood pottery featured in the collection.

Orlando: Say No to Theme Parks  

Direct flights via Frontier, Southwest, Spirit, Allegiant; visitorlando.com  

Move over, Mickey—there’s plenty to see and do outside of Orlando’s theme parks. Book an airboat tour of the Florida Everglades’ headwaters through a company that caters to smaller groups, versus those that seat a dozen-plus, for a more personal experience. Marsh Landing Adventures takes small groups out on Lake Tohopekaliga just south of downtown to spot alligators and other wildlife. And if fishing is your game, Lake Toho, as it’s known, is among the country’s best bass spots. 

Another option, Capt Duke’s Airboat Rides, offers scenic tours on St. Johns River about a half-hour east of the city. Expect dark waters, prehistoric-looking forests, gators of course and even free-range cattle. Afterward, check out nearby Manatee Sanctuary Park in Cape Canaveral. 

There are plenty of opportunities to paddle, too. King’s Landing on the north side of greater Orlando is billed as “nature’s theme park” and offers kayak and SUP (stand-up paddleboard) rentals, tours and camping. Back out along the Space Coast, you can rent a clear kayak with companies like BK Adventure and Florida Bioluminescence Tours for an otherworldly evening experience paddling through glowing plankton. Book early for trips around the new and crescent moons, and keep an eye out for dolphins, manatees and more.

Anna Maria Island: Old Florida Charm  

Direct flights via Allegiant, Southwest; bradentongulfislands.com  

If you’re craving a getaway where all effort goes toward relaxation, you couldn’t find a better retreat than Anna Maria Island. While beaches like nearby Clearwater and Siesta Key steal all the thunder, Anna Maria flies under the radar, and its visitors benefit. The 7-mile Gulf Shore barrier isle is an oasis void of Florida’s standard chaos and tourist traps. There are no high-rise hotels, chain restaurants or wax museums. Save for a wave of newly built modern homes, Anna Maria exudes “Old Florida” charm in its focus on white sandy beaches, kitschy ranches and local color.  

Time can stand still when vacationing on Anna Maria, especially at its northern point, where Pine Avenue runs from the city pier, overlooking Tampa Bay, to the blue waters of the Gulf. Along the way, small boutiques, art galleries, a community theater and ice cream parlors dot the landscape. Eat at the Rod and Reel Pier for a classic vacation vibe, then take a sunset walk among the dunes at Bean Point. Venture far south to the historic Cortez fishing village for a lunch at Starfish, the quintessential seafood shack, or legendary burgers at the open-air Skinny’s Place. A nightcap at the Doctor’s Office, a pricey cocktail lounge in a retired doctor’s office, is worth making an appointment.  

But Anna Maria’s star attraction is the ocean, of course. Your priority should be to log off and maximize your time in the sun and water.

Alt-Thanksgiving Trips: How About Horses or the Yucatan Peninsula?

Georgetown, Kentucky: Foals Instead of Football  

2.75-hour drive, oldfriendsequine.org  

The sweet stallion Silver Charm won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness back in 1997, but today he is relaxing down on the farm. So are 164 other retired thoroughbreds lucky enough to live at the Old Friends Equine retirement facility in Georgetown, Kentucky. Open year-round for visitors, the farm gives tours of the barns and paddocks, introducing the public to some famous racehorses and other not-so-famous racehorses who just needed a home. 

Old Friends was started by journalist Michael Blowen in 2003. Today, it receives incredible support from the racing community, so it keeps expanding. Each retiree horse is beloved here. Walking tours take you through the working farm and into barns, so wear sensible shoes. Tours go rain or shine, and a golf cart is available for those with mobility issues. Children under age 10 are allowed only on private tours. The farm also has a nice little gift shop. And yes, tour guides let you pet some of the horses.

Yucatan Peninsula: Tortillas Instead of Turkey  

Direct seasonal flights via American, Southwest, Vacation Express; yucatan.travel/en  

Quintana Roo, Mexico, is a perfect option for eschewing the traditional dry and boring Thanksgiving turkey. To truly get a taste of the area’s offerings, venturing from your resort (which probably offers equally boring cuisine) is essential. The best way to experience the food of the Yucatan Peninsula is to explore local eateries, where the cost-to-taste ratio is definitely in your favor.  

Yucatan cuisine expertly uses acidic ingredients to bring a pop to its dishes. Start with cochinita pibil, a traditional Mayan slow-roasted pork dish served with bright pickled red onions and tortillas originating from the area. The penchant for tang carries over into sopa de lima, a simple soup boasting shredded chicken, tortilla strips and its namesake lime, a regional crop. Begin the day with huevos motunleños, a Yucatan breakfast staple of corn tortillas topped with fried eggs, black beans, cheese and tomato sauce. With these options, you may develop a new Thanksgiving tradition.
