Today, head to Key Largo, where America's largest coral reef protects the shoreline. Travel along the Overseas Highway, crossing 42 bridges through the Florida Keys to picturesque Key West, the southernmost town in continental United States. The suggestion for this evening is a visit to Mallory Square to view the spectacular sunset and then a stroll on Duval Street with its colourful cafés.
DAY 7: Key West.
A full day to explore the tropical island city of Key West, boasting Victorian homes, gingerbread conch houses and mansions on the National Register. You may want to see Ernest Hemingway's home, Harry Truman's Little Whitehouse, or the John Audubon House and Gardens.

DAY 8: Key West - Everglades - Naples.

Beautiful Grand Cayman is a stunning Caribbean island lapped by sparkling turquoise waters, rich with colourful marine life and spectacular coral reefs. Fringed with soft, white-sand beaches and lush tropical palms, this paradise island has plenty to offer visitors. Soak up the sun on Seven Mile Beach and visit the unique Cayman Turtle Farm for a swim with the famous stingrays and turtles. Stroll around George Town, one of the leading shopping centres in the Caribbean region, with its range of boutiques and duty free shops, or head to the harbour front, home to traditional Caymanian gingerbread-style buildings. For a novelty, stop by the local limestone formations named 'Hell', from where you can send postcards proving you've been 'to Hell and back'. (B, L, D)
DAY 15: Cozumel.
Cozumel is the largest island in the Mayan Caribbean, and derives its name from the Mayans who once inhabited the island and believed it to be a sacred place. Its name translates to 'Land of the Swallows', in reference to the indigenous birds living on the island. Cozumel's limestone shore is surrounded by crystal clear waters, which range from sparkling aquamarine to deep, velvety indigo. Due to the seemingly endless reefs and great water visibility, Cozumel is considered by many to be the finest dive destination in the Atlantic. Today, you can visit a Mayan archaeological site, go snorkelling, shop for silver and leather goods in the many craft stores, or meet the Bottlenose dolphins in Chankanaab National Park. (B, L, D)
DAY 16: Belize City.
This colourful Caribbean city is the former capital of Belize. Spend time in the old city, with its colourful, wooden colonial houses, narrow streets, and edgy modern structures, which provide the city with a unique character. Do not miss St John's Cathedral, built in 1847 and the oldest, most important Anglican Church in Central America, or the famous lighthouse, which marks the grave of the Portuguese Baron, a man who left a great fortune to Belize. Pay a visit to the fascinating Community Baboon Sanctuary, home to many Howler Monkeys which are known as 'baboons' in the Creole language. These primates live in a near-perfect wild habitat: the lush, rich forest alongside the fertile Belize River. You could also spend the day enjoying one of several activities including horseback riding, snorkelling, or venturing further afield to explore ancient Mayan cities. (B, L, D)
DAY 17: Roatan Island.
Blessed with powdery-white sand beaches, stunning natural surrounds and lusciously rich tropical forests, Roatan Island is a paradise for beach and nature lovers alike. Set amidst the beautiful Bay Islands, off the north coast of Honduras, Roatan is lapped by the warm, clear waters of the Caribbean Sea and offers spectacular watersports opportunities including kayaking, swimming with dolphins, snorkelling and scuba diving amidst the magnificent coral reefs. Perhaps explore the island itself on a discovery tour of the east or west coast, head inland to experience the rugged and beautiful, wildlife-rich Gumbalimba Park - where a wide range of optional activities ensures you can be as active or relaxed as you like, or simply relax and enjoy one of the many palm-fringed, pristine beaches.
