Our Travel Guides
We’ve been writing Florida hiking and travel guides since 2002.








Florida Trail Hikes outlines great day hikes along the Florida Trail for scenic beauty and suggests ecotours in nearby towns. We’ve also partnered with FarOut to bring you our trail information in a series of apps. These all include both our “what to do” in trail towns and Florida Trail Gateway Communities.
Disclosure: As authors and affiliates, we receive earnings when you buy these through our links. This helps us provide public information on this website.
Ecotours
With so much outdoors to explore, Florida leads the way in ecotours! Some are intimate experiences, following a guide or two deep into a tropical forest or along a crystalline stream in a canoe.
Others pile on plenty of people, taking large groups by boat, tram, or bus into the wild.
A handful let you come to them: walking between interpretive stations within a preserve or natural attraction, you learn from naturalists about the fauna or flora that they know and love.
Several self-guided interpretive drives fall into the ecotour category, as well.
In general, you should expect some sort of fee to participate in an ecotour. Check the list below for specific ecotours we recommend. You can find them geographically on the map above.
