Florida is flat, which makes it great for long bike rides and gentle hikes, and its calm winter mornings are perfect for hot air balloons. Add some of the busiest skydiving drop zones in the country and miles of beach and forest horse trails, and there is plenty to do between fishing trips. Here is our guide, and the adventures iOutdoors is adding.

When to go

November to April brings cool, dry mornings: the best time for balloon flights, long rides and hikes. Summer is hot and stormy, so plan land adventures early in the day. Skydiving runs year-round, weather permitting. For a taste of old Florida on horseback, read about a real Florida cattle drive.
