Getting To: South Florida (Airport Review)

Want to visit South Florida? While Miami International Airport is likely your first choice, you should consider an arrival into Ft. Lauderdale International Airport (FLL) or Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) (West Palm) instead. Both FLL and PBI are smaller, with less waiting time making it easier for you to get to your departure.

For those traveling from Europe of abroad, you have a number of alternatives to a direct flight into MIA. Consider flying into one of the New York City airports (JFK, LGA, Newark). From there, hop on Jet Blue, Virgin America, or another quality carrier that offers direct flights into Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach.

If you reserved an adventure tour with us, Florida Adventure Treks, Ft. Lauderdale is a great option. The taxi costs might be a bit more than from Miami, but the cost of the flight could be less.

The best part of arriving in South Florida? Once you get to the tour departure hotel, you can sit back and relax. We’ll take care of everything else for you – transportation, accommodations, activities, and a most adventurous trip through Florida. Florida Adventure Treks is Florida’s ONLY small group adventure tour specialist.

Florida on a Budget?

CampfireBudget travel is an art form – it is all about exploring a new land, learning about its people, and experiencing a destination as if you lived there. There is no better way to travel. But sometimes, traveling on a budget isn’t easy. The United States doesn’t have a rail system that even closely rivals Europe. Given how big our country is, buses are a distant second to plane hopping. And, the time and effort to check-in at an airport every few days is not exactly our idea of a holiday.Tour Vehicle

Florida boasts so many great destinations – major cities, national and state parks, and quaint towns located off-the-beaten path. But getting to and from each destination isn’t that easy without your own car. And more importantly, knowing where to go except for only the most popular tourist destinations is not printed in any tour book. At Florida Adventure Treks, we combine local experience with budget-friendly travel tours. We are Florida’s ONLY small group tour company. With us, you can visit all the best of Florida, including many local destinations.

Our tours are budget tours. We believe, however, that a budget tour shouldn’t have to sacrifice quality for costs. For the past five years, we have been delivering the highest quality vacation holidays to travelers on a budget. Our accommodations have you staying right in the center of town (or within walking distance) or a stone’s throw from the beach every night. And, all of our adventure tours include local transportation, accommodations (camping on our Adventure Tours) and equipment, lots of included activities (airboat tour, snorkeling trip, Orlando theme park ticket), the services of a professional tour guide, and much much more.

Setting Up TentEven food costs are reasonable – each group contributes $40 per week towards a food kitty. We then use this money to purchase groceries and make stops at farmer’s markets; and we have picnic lunches en route to our destinations, dinners over a campfire, and breakfasts at camp before heading to our next stop. We carry all of our camping and cooking equipment on the roof of the tour vehicle.
