More About Florida

There is an abundance of things to do, see and enjoy in Florida; there are fun-packed theme parks, glorious beaches, year-round sunshine and fabulous shopping opportunities. Of course, you can choose simply to stay in Orlando for a holiday to remember but combining resorts give you the best of both worlds. Head South for the Keys, try windsurfing on Miami‘s beaches or hop over on a short flight to Mexico or the Bahamas. Florida is a great choice of holiday destination for young and old. Attractions include Busch Gardens Tampa Bay where there is a zoo, rides and show to enjoy, Disney's Magic Kingdom which is the attraction that Florida is most famous for, Legoland which is great for younger children and Universal's island of Adventure where Harry Potter springs to life and Spiderman embarks on epic adventures. There are so many attractions it would take too long to list them all but one very popular place, and therefore one you will need to book well in advance is Discovery Cove where you can swim with the dolphins, discover more about these marvellous creatures and do much, much more. For somewhere more adult-focused, try the Florida Keys which is a perfect escape for couples. Here you'll find secluded beaches, turquoise waters and coral reefs. By contrast, Miami is best suited for those seeking a more lively environment as it has plenty of shops, bars, restaurants and nightlife plus fabulous beaches too. The Everglades National Park is a wonderful 1.5 million-acre wetland preserve made up of pine flatwoods, sawgrass marshes and coastal mangroves. It is a natural habitat for a wealth of endangered and rare species including the manatee, American crocodile and the elusive Florida panther. Exploring the park with one of the experienced guides is the best way to get the most out of your time here. There are canoe and kayak tours, eco-tours, fishing guides, photography tours and more.

Leisure Activities

Everglades

Situated at the southern tip of Florida, the Everglades is a 1.5 million acre wetland national park. They consist of coastal mangroves, pine flatwoods and sawgrass marshes. Rare leatherback turtles make their home here as well as Florida panthers, alligators, snakes and many more animal species. There are numerous ways to experience the Everglades, from boat rides to hiking trails plus canoe and cycle trails.

Theme Parks

Florida, and particularly Orlando, is the world’s capital when it comes to theme parks. The choice and options are just overwhelming. Disney, Universal, Legoland and Sea World are just a few that are available. Disney itself has many different options including Walt Disney World, The Epcot Centre and Animal Kingdom.

Kennedy Space Centre

Situated just over an hour away from Orlando, the Kennedy Space Centre is a great day out for the whole family. You can take a bus tour of the complex, try your hand at piloting a space shuttle simulator, and you can even meet an astronaut during a live presentation of an Astronaut Encounter.
