Select participants and date
You step off the shuttle into humid blue air and Miami’s skyline hums behind you—glass towers catching the low sun while palms clap overhead. The tour van folds a small group into a comfortable bubble: luggage stowed, map apps checked, a guide with a practiced grin. For the next four days you’ll move from city grit to salt-slick keys, from everglade sawgrass to million-dollar lawns, and every transfer feels like turning a page in a fast, cinematic travelogue.

Adventure Tips
Pack sun-first
Florida sun is strong year-round—bring broad-spectrum sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and UV sunglasses for long highway and harbor exposure.
Hydration and refillable bottle
Carry a reusable water bottle and refill at hotels; bottled water is available but staying hydrated keeps you energized for airboat and walking stops.
Watch the pickup windows
Airport and port pickups are at fixed times—arrive to the meeting point 10 minutes early to avoid missing the shuttle and losing your spot.
Leave valuables in the hotel
With multiple stops and optional excursions, minimize what you carry during island and safari visits to reduce loss risk and keep moving light.

History
Key developments—Flagler’s railroad and Cuban migration—shaped South Florida’s urban and cultural geography; Key West’s seafaring economy and wrecking past explain much of its architecture and lore.
Conservation
The Everglades and Florida Reef Tract are ecologically fragile—stay on designated paths, avoid feeding wildlife, and use reef-safe sunscreen near coral habitats.
