Florida isn’t just for snowbirds! If you’re keen to venture south and enjoy warm weather, Porter Airlines can take you to Florida from Toronto Pearson, Ottawa, Montreal and Halifax this fall and winter, with connecting flights from many other Canadian cities.
Tampa
The heart of Florida’s Gulf Coast.
Take it over to Tampa for a city on the sea escape. Meet a manatee at the TECO Manatee Viewing Center, see over 8,000 sea creatures at the Florida Aquarium, and go alligator spotting on a boat tour along the Hillsborough River. Stroll along the Tampa Riverwalk for delicious food, boutique shops, shaded parks, and an array of interesting museums. After sunset, head to a glitzy rooftop bar for incredible views.
Fort Myers
Laid-back island life.
You could easily spend your time in Fort Myers hopping from one island to the next, combing sugar sand beaches for seashells. If you’re keen for more adventure, paddle along the Calusa Blueway for prime bird spotting. Out in the blue, scuba dive with reef fish and sea turtles, or go on a sunset cruise. When hunger strikes, there’s fresh seafood galore at dock-and-dine restaurants. No matter what you order, it’ll taste great paired with a local craft beer.
Fort Lauderdale
Take your pick of beaches, there’s nearly 40 km of them.
Relax in Fort Lauderdale, where there are tens of beaches to choose from, each with their own allure. Buzz through the Florida Everglades on an airboat in search of alligators and river otters. Or, stick to the city and explore its canals via water taxi, paddleboard, kayak or gondola. With fair winds, there’s a reason many sailors consider Fort Lauderdale the ‘Yachting Capital of the World’.
West Palm Beach
Seaside sophistication.
From glamorous shopping areas to vibrant art galleries to intriguing museums, there’s plenty of reasons to linger around the West Palm Beach waterfront. Over on Palm Beach, cycle past mansions, superyachts and historical buildings all along the 8-kilometre Lake Trail. While it once was a place reserved for Florida’s rich and/or famous, it’s now an outdoor playground for all.
Orlando
Let the fun begin.
Can you truly experience Florida without going to a theme park? Meet your favourite cartoon characters, conquer your fear of heights and nosh on sugar-dusted carnival fare all before catching your flight home. With water parks, theme parks, performance venues, world-class dining and specialty shops galore, being bored isn’t in Orlando’s repertoire.
Miami
Feel the pulse of paradise.
Throw a towel under the shade of a palm fond and watch the world go by. This is Miami, a place where cultures combine to create a destination that’s unlike anywhere else. Rotate between the beaches, shops and restaurants. Once the sun goes down, the city comes alive. Move to the thrum of music under dazzling lights at a nightclub in South Beach or go salsa dancing in Little Havana.
