Florida travel FAQs

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 travelers 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 travelers 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.

But, oh, Florida is so much more.  Shopping , museum-going, tropical rambles, historic stops and all manner of water sports showcase the state's versatility from big-city experiences and small-town fun to the planet's most beautiful landscapes. There are more than 1,000  golf courses , too. 

Florida has more than 1,300 miles of coastline, and much of that is made up of sugar-sand beaches. Each region's  beaches   have their own personality. The laid-back  Keys   are often called America's Caribbean and the azure water surrounding the string of islands certainly backs up that claim. South Florida's beaches dance to a Latin beat and the Space Coast offers wide, packed sand that is perfect for bike riding or perching to watch surfers and rocket launches. The  Gulf Coast beaches  are among the nation's most lauded with unparalleled sunset views. The  Northwest beaches  are deep and inviting, playing host to visitors from far and wide, all on the hunt for things to do in Florida. 

Visitors looking for fun water things to do in Florida's interior will find it at various lakes and tributaries just as good for fishing as they are for kayaking and canoeing. The natural attributes of Florida attract thrill-seekers as well as those who want to kick back. Some 20  state parks  are a draw for campers and hikers to diverse locations around the state. 

The state's natural wonders are complemented by family-friendly fantasy at Florida's theme parks and attractions. From the Walt Disney World and Universal complexes in  Orlando   to Busch Gardens in  Tampa , and many more zoos and botanical gardens, there is no end of ways to entertain the family (and adults who act like kids) north to south, east to west. 

The fun activities and things to do in Florida continue into the night with the pulsating clubs of  South Beach ,  Orlando  and  Jacksonville   and at concert venues around the state. Florida is a major stop on the concert circuit and acts such as Beyonce, Justin Bieber and Bruce Springsteen make the Sunshine State a destination, too. 

For many travelers, dining out and sampling authentic local cuisine is high on their to-do list. Florida doesn't disappoint with its wide array of local seafood, including grouper, shrimp and the legendary stone crab, available from mid-May to mid-October. Even the locals rejoice when the hard-shelled crabs show up on menus in the spring. Key lime pie, Cuban delicacies and even Greek food, a specialty of Tarpon Springs, are just some of the popular food choices. The craft beer movement has exploded in Florida and visitors will find local brew in most cities with names like Crooked Can, Cigar City, Funky Budha, Oyster City, and Veterans United. A brewery tour is a delicious way to cool off on a hot day.
