Tour Overview
If you've got a taste for the USA but time is in short supply then our 4 day Everglades & Florida Keys tour is just the ticket. Journey from vibrant Miami with its Hispanic scene and beautiful people to the Everglades area, where alligators are king. Snorkel the stunning Biscayne National Park coral reef and drop in on Key West, the southernmost tip of the USA which at only 90 miles from Cuba has a decidedly Caribbean vibe.

Day 1: Miami & Everglades
Cruise out of Miami and head towards the Everglades area, famous for close encounters with alligators! Skim over the 'River of Grass' on an airboat river trip and splash through swamps on a buggy tour where you'll come face to face with gators, birds, fish and snakes. Then huddle around the evening campfire before spending the night in your 'chickee' - a native-style thatched roof dwelling. The 'chickees' are a wonderful experience, but basic in nature with no electricity and a shared bathroom.
Accommodation: Budget Lodging included | Meals: Paid locally
-
Day 2: Biscayne National Park & Key West
A top snorkelling and scuba diving destination, Biscayne National Park is 95% water and is the largest marine park in the USA. It's the perfect place to spend a lazy afternoon snorkelling (gear included) amongst the coral reefs! Next up, cross the famous long bridges to Key West ready for an action packed evening tasting the beach front bars and clubs.
Accommodation: Budget Lodging included | Meals: Paid locally

Day 3: Key West
Key West is a magical place and without doubt, the pearl of Florida, with an average temperature of 26 degrees. Enjoy the laid back Caribbean vibe which Ernest Hemingway took so much solace in; he lived and wrote here for over 10 years. Numerous dive and snorkel boats will show you the underwater coral reef with world famous fishing opportunities or simply laze on idyllic beaches, wander the shops or people-watch from a local café. Feast on fresh seafood at fine restaurants and make sure you finish off with a slice of Key Lime Pie.
Accommodation: Budget Lodging included | Meals: Paid locally
