“This itinerary offers the best of
both worlds: a week of full-on
family fun amid the theme parks
of Orlando, followed by some
well-deserved downtime relaxing
on Florida's incredible beaches."
DAYS 8-11 NAPLES
Drive south to Naples and check in for four nights at Naples Bay Resort. Located close to downtown, the
resort offers almost every amenity under the sun, including a tennis club, fitness centre, full-service spa and a
number of great restaurants. It’s also the only hotel in Naples with a marina offering direct access to the Gulf
of Mexico, making it perfect for boat trips and watersports enthusiasts. Naples itself is a stylish, upmarket
town known for its white-sand beaches, championship golf courses, good selection of restaurants and highquality
boutiques. It also makes a great base from which to explore the Everglades.
MULTI-CENTRE ITINERARY
Magic of Florida
Proving that there’s more to Florida than just the House of Mouse, this 15-day self-drive
takes you from the theme parks of Orlando to cultured, sophisticated and stylish Naples before
ending amid the white-sand beaches and endlessly sunny days of the glorious Gulf Coast.
DAY 1 ORLANDO
Arrive at Orlando Airport, collect your hire car and make your way to the luxurious Loews Portofino Bay
Hotel at Universal Orlando for a seven-night stay.
DAYS 2-7 ORLANDO
The next week has been left free for the child in you to enjoy the many theme parks and attractions that
Orlando has to offer. A stone's throw from the hotel, Universal Orlando Resort boasts two theme parks,
Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure, as well as a water park and the shops and restaurants of
Universal CityWalk. Disney choices range from Disney’s Magic Kingdom Park – with Cinderella Castle at its
heart – to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park and the two family friendly waterparks, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon
and Disney’s Blizzard Beach. Other options include LEGOLAND Florida and, slightly further afield, the
Kennedy Space Center. Just be sure to ask your travel agent about booking multi-day passes in advance as
this can often save you time and money.
In the evenings – or if you want a day off from park-based amusement – you’ll find plenty elsewhere to
entertain you in Orlando, including trendy craft breweries, eclectic shops and cutting-edge restaurants. The
Milk District and Mills 50 are two especially up-and-coming neighbourhoods that really come alive after dark.

DAYS 12-14 ST. PETE BEACH
Take a leisurely drive up the Gulf Coast to St. Pete Beach and The Don CeSar hotel, affectionately known
as the ‘Pink Palace’, where you’ll stay for the next three nights. Home to glorious white-sand beaches,
including the longest undeveloped stretch of public beach in the county, clear gulf waters and 361 days of
sunshine a year, St. Pete Beach is a coastal delight. Get out on the water by glass-bottom kayak or stand-up
paddleboard. Visit the nearby Salvador Dali Museum, the 26-acre St. Pete Pier or the award-winning Fort
De Soto Park. Head to the Corey Avenue shopping district to browse speciality shops and unique boutiques.
Or plan a day out in Tampa at another of Florida’s most beloved theme parks, Busch Gardens, famous for its
heart-racing rollercoasters and animal encounters.
DAY 15 TAMPA
Say a final goodbye to the deep blues of the Gulf of Mexico before returning your hire car to the airport in
Tampa in time to catch your flight home.

The Kennedy Space Center brings the epic
story of the US space programme to life. Not

and relive the final moments leading up to the
moon landing, we can even arrange for you to
chat with a real astronaut and hear exactly what
it’s like to live and work in space.
Join an experienced airboat captain for a private
tour through the Florida Everglades, the only
subtropical preserve in North America. Enjoy
speeding through the sawgrass as you look out
for alligators, turtles, snakes, birds and even
manatees. Night-time tours are also available,
when the guides use torches to find the telltale
glow of alligators’ eyes.
Take a short boat ride from Key Largo to
explore the shallow reefs of the Florida Keys
National Marine Sanctuary with a master diver
or certified snorkel guide. The reefs off Key
Largo have been protected by the state for
over four decades and are home to a multitude
of sea life, several historic shipwrecks and the
iconic bronze statue, Christ of the Abyss.
