Itinerary

1. Day 1: Arrival

   Welcome to Orlando, the residence of Mickey Mouse, Epcot Center, Kennedy Space Center, and an array of entertainment parks. You should come a couple of days earlier if you want to take advantage of some of the attractions that Orlando has to offer.

2. Day 2: Orlando to Vero Beach (140 miles / 224 kilometers)

   After a good night’s rest, you'll pick up your motorcycle at Orlando Harley-Davidson. You'll then head for the Atlantic Ocean and pass the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral. You are recommended to arrive a day or 2 earlier if you intend to visit the Space Center as it takes all day to see everything. You cruise on down the coast and follow the inland passage in the afternoon through Melbourne and to Vero Beach.

3. Day 3: Vero Beach to South Beach in Miami (150 miles / 240 kilometers)

   Today, you will pass through some of the most famous vacation beach spots in the world such as West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, and Fort Lauderdale where you can visit the local Harley-Davidson dealership. Then, you will head on down into South Beach for sophisticated dinner and some hot nightlife in the middle of the famous Art Deco District. Maybe this night might just end the next morning for you. Enjoy it but please think about your upcoming ride down the Keys.

4. Day 4: Miami to Key West (165 miles / 264 kilometers)

   Say goodbye to Miami and hello to the Caribbean to your right and the Atlantic to your left as you split the 2 oceans with a 100-mile ride through the beautiful Florida Keys. You can make a dream come true and swim with dolphins on Islamorada at the “Theatre of the Sea”. You will ride your iron steed into Marathon Key for lunch at the water and then you will be off to Key West and the famous sunset celebration at Mallory Square.

5. Day 5: Key West

   Today, it’s all about discovering Key West. Visit “Sloppy Joe’s Bar”, the place where Ernest Hemmingway fabricated himself more than one hangover, take a tour on a glass bottom boat and watch tropical fish, explore downtown Key West on the Conch-Train-Tour, walk in the footsteps of Thomas Edison and Tennessee Williams, sail a catamaran around the island, or simply relax and sip a few cocktails on the beach until dusk.

6. Day 6: Key West to Fort Myers Beach (260 miles / 416 kilometers)

   You will get up very early and head to Everglades National Park. You'll enjoy the wildlife and watch wild alligators during an exciting airboat tour deep into the Everglades before roaring to Fort Myers to enjoy the sunset at the hotel’s beach bar with your bare feet in the sand.

7. Day 7: Fort Myers Beach to Clearwater Beach (150 miles / 240 kilometers)

   As you leave Fort Myers Beach, you will head north along Florida’s west coast and the Gulf of Mexico, passing through Sarasota and Saint Petersburg. There are several attractions along the way. One of them is the Manatee museum in Bradenton. As you sit at your beach hotel and enjoy a nice cool drink, you will let the day pass by watching the beautiful sunset.

8. Day 8: Clearwater Beach to Orlando (125 miles / 200 kilometers)

   It’s time to get back to Orlando. After a couple of hours at the beach, in the morning, you will head inland passing hundreds of lakes between Tampa and Orlando. As you return your motorcycle, it will feel as if you just left Orlando yesterday, but a week has already passed and it’s time to return to base camp.

9. Day 9: Departure

   Today is the day to pack your bags. You're filled with the experiences and memories of a great tour of Florida. Have a safe journey home.
