Florida and Arizona as a Winter Destination
Escape the grey skies and winter blues with a trip to Florida and Southern Arizona. In the former you can take a trip out on Wild Florida airboats in the headwaters of the Everglades and have great fun out there in the primeval landscape, plus it’s just a 45 minute drive from Central Florida’s major theme parks at Orlando. Or try out the paradise that is Fort Myers and Sanibel in the southwest made up of 100 islands with white-sand beaches and turquoise waters strung along the Gulf of Mexico and known as Florida’s unspoiled island sanctuary.
For a winter destination from the UK though many of us think it’s hard to beat the Florida Keys. Stretching out in a gentle arc south-southwest and then westward to Key West and finally onto the The Dry Tortugas, still uninhabited and a wildlife paradise.
Not everyone wants beaches and marine life however and that’s why Southern Arizona is becoming so popular in the winter months.
The area has some of the most awesome attractions on the American continent. The stark beauty of the desert, (You can take a motorcycle or fly drive through it too!) the giant cacti of the Saguaro National Park and the world-class resorts of Tuscon, Phoenix, Scottsdale are also on offer with some great winter sun, hiking, ATVs, horse riding, high end shopping and dining, and also warm weather.
We can even organise a flight over the Grand Canyon. If that’s not enough adrenaline for you take the ultimate thrill, The Grand Canyon Skywalk!
