Let us know if you need help with that!

Key West

After your 3 days in Miami it's time to pack your car and start exploring Florida. First stop is Key West, which is connected with no less than 42 bridges. Here you'll get a great view of both the Mexican Gulf and the Atlantic Ocean when you drive southwards from Miami. Key West is famous for the nice beaches and some amazing sunsets. If you stop in Key Largo on the way to Key West, you'll get a chance to enjoy possibly the best snorkeling area in the entire country.

Napels

From Everglades you travel along Florida's west coast and the first stop here is Naples, which is also known as the city of millionaires. A big portion of USA's richest people live here, so if you're a sucker for fancy cars and huge villas, you can look forward to strolling around the streets of this city. If you pay a visit to the old part of the city, you'll find many art galleries and charming small shops.

Sarasota & Siesta Key

From Napels you move up the west coast of Florida until you reach Sarasota. A nice and cozy place by the beach. Myakka River State Park is worth a visit. This park protects one of the state's most diverse natural areas. You'll find Siesta Key only a short drive south of Sarasota, and this is probably the best place for surfing in the entire Florida state. Enjoy the great vibes and the small surf shops and bars.

Tampa og Clearwater

Tampa is located in Tampa Bay and is a historic harbor city. There's plenty of outdoor life and lots of cool cultural events going on. We recommend that you pay a visit to Clearwater which hosts a lot of cool festivals. Strawberry Festival and The Hispanic Heritage Festival are among the better ones! If you have time, then check out St. Petersburg peninsular where you'll find the Salvador Dali museum as well as some cool art exhibitions.

Miami

Your road trip ends where it all started, back in Miami. You'll get a chance to explore all the things you didn't have time to when you arrived here. Check out the cool Art Deco-district at South Beach and visit the Venetian Pool which is home to both corals and undersea caves.

Whether you want to go home or continue your journey is up to you. Just let us know what you prefer, and we will make it happen!

We've included a car in this road trip, but you can change it to a campervan if you'd like, the choice is yours! It's also good to mention that when you're renting a car abroad, make sure to have your travel insurance in order. Don't have one yet? No worries - we can help you out with that.

What is road trippin’ the KILROY Way?

Well, we always encourage our travelers to be curious. To open up, and to embrace the unexpected. Stop where you can, go down the narrow side street and don’t get stuck in the camper. Don’t just drive for the sake of driving. Approach new people. Approach new ways of doing things. Explore and be open to changes – that’s where the magic happens.

*Price is a from-price per person and based on 2 people over 25 traveling together. Reach out to us if you're a little younger than that - it's not a problem!
