The best time to visit Florida is typically November through April.
This is when:
The humidity is lower
The temperatures are comfortable (70s–80s)
Hurricane season is over
You can actually enjoy being outside
Winter is peak season, especially in South Florida and the Keys, so expect higher hotel prices. But the trade-off is perfect patio weather and no melting into the sidewalk.
Summer (June–September) is hot, humid, and rainy in the afternoons. It’s also cheaper. If you don’t mind planning indoor breaks or pool time around quick storms, you can save money — just prepare for “my hair gave up” levels of humidity.
From South Beach in Miami to the white sand of Clearwater Beach, Florida beaches are a major draw. Some are lively and social. Others are quiet and family-friendly. Decide your vibe first, then pick your coast.
If you’re heading to Orlando, you already know what’s happening. Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort are bucket-list level for many travelers. Plan ahead, book early, and hydrate like it’s your job.
Drive the Overseas Highway down to Key West for turquoise water, boat days, and sunset celebrations at Mallory Square. It’s quirky, it’s colorful, and it’s worth the drive.
Everglades National Park is wild Florida at its best. Gators, mangroves, and wide open wetlands. It’s a completely different experience from the beaches and adds variety to your trip.
South Florida and the Keys offer excellent snorkeling, reef trips, and deep-sea fishing excursions. If you like being on the water, Florida gives you plenty of excuses.
Florida has multiple major airports, making it easy to reach from almost anywhere in the U.S.
Popular airports include:
Miami International Airport (MIA)
Orlando International Airport (MCO)
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL)
Tampa International Airport (Tampa, FL, US)
Flights are frequent and competitive, especially from major U.S. cities. If you’re visiting the Keys, you can fly into Miami and drive, or fly directly into Key West.
Florida is big. Like, bigger-than-you-think big.
Renting a car is often the easiest way to explore, especially if you’re:
Visiting multiple cities
Driving to the Florida Keys
Exploring beaches outside of major downtown areas
Cities like Miami have rideshare options and walkable neighborhoods, but once you leave those pockets, having a car makes things significantly easier.
If you’re only doing theme parks in Orlando and staying on property, you can get by without one.
Hurricane Season: Runs June through November. Peak activity is August–October. Travel insurance is smart during this window.
Afternoon Storms: In summer, rain usually hits mid-afternoon and clears quickly. Plan beach time in the morning.
Sun Protection: The sun is strong year-round. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and reapply.
Tipping: 18–20% is standard at restaurants.
Tap Water: Safe to drink, but many people prefer bottled due to taste.
Theme Park Strategy: Arrive early, take midday breaks, and don’t try to “do it all” in one day. That’s how meltdowns happen.
Most importantly, decide what kind of Florida trip you want. Beachy and relaxed? Theme park marathon? Island road trip? The state can do all three — just not efficiently in one weekend.
Boise in one day? I say… absolutely. ✨
For a compact, well-rounded visit, Boise truly delivers. You can eat incredibly well, wander downtown on foot, stumble upon public art, cruise the river, and still have time to sit down for a solid dinner, all without feeling rushed or over planned.
It’s the kind of city that’s easy to settle into… even if you’re just passing through. And honestly? That’s what makes it so special.
Is Boise on your travel bucket list?✈️
Kirkham Hot Springs is easily one of the most talked-about hot springs near Boise and after visiting, I get the hype. 😍
Waterfalls cascading over soaking pools, mountain views, and some of the easiest access you’ll find in Idaho make this spot hard to beat. Plus, there’s more variety here than most natural hot springs nearby.
But here’s the honest part: it’s popular. Like… very popular. Expect crowds, especially on weekends.
So the real question is the scenery and accessibility worth sharing it with a few dozen new friends? Read my full breakdown on my blog for the full scoop | link in bio
