DAY 3: Orlando - St Augustine - Cocoa Beach.
This morning we head to picturesque St Augustine, the oldest European city in the United States, founded by Juan Ponce de Leon in his search for the legendary Fountain of Youth.

Today, head to Key Largo, where America's largest coral reef protects the shoreline.

The suggestion for this evening is a visit to Mallory Square to view the spectacular sunset and then a stroll on Duval Street with its colourful cafés.

A full day to explore the tropical island city of Key West, boasting Victorian homes, gingerbread conch houses and mansions on the National Register. You may want to see Ernest Hemingway's home, Harry Truman's Little Whitehouse, or the John Audubon House and Gardens. No trip would be complete without a visit to the Southernmost Point in the US, situated less than 90 miles north of Cuba.
DAY 8: Key West - Everglades - Naples.
Head back to the mainland and the subtropical wilderness of the Everglades, and board an airboat for your thrilling included ride through the extensive swamplands. Sleepy alligators basking on the banks of the waterways are a common sight. Overnight in Naples.
