Things to Do During Your Weekend Getaway in Florida

Things to Do During Your Weekend Getaway in Florida

The sun-kissed state is a natural playground beckoning you to explore it. Whether you head to the glistening coastline or the lush Everglades, you’ll find something for the whole family. Start your excursion with the following activities.

  • 1. Parks

    Hop on a boat and head to the Everglades National Park, the only place on earth where salt-water crocodiles and freshwater-loving alligators co-exist. Paddle quietly through the clear waters to view manatees and rare tropical birds.

  • 2. Diving

    A scuba-diving or snorkeling adventure lets you discover Florida’s underwater riches. Explore the reefs in the Florida Keys, or encounter amazing coral and some of the marine animals that call Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary home. If you’re visiting between May and September, be sure to swim alongside turtles at West Palm Beach.

  • 3. Horseback riding

    Want to see Florida’s spectacular coastline from a different perspective? A horse ride takes you through the rolling dunes and along the coastline of Amelia Island. Cape San Blas is the perfect place for a sunrise or sunset ride on the beach.

  • 4. Biking

    Make tracks on two wheels through old logging and farm roads to enjoy the hidden treasures of Everglades. These historic routes form a network of magnificent trails that will bring you closer to all sorts of birds, including herons and flamingoes.

  • 5. Hiking

    Adventures in Florida go beyond the coastline and waterways. Discover plenty of sights by trekking. Hike the Florida National Scenic Trail and enjoy the dramatic Floridian scenery amid the Big Cypress National Preserve and the Gulf Islands National Seashore.
