Educational Tours in Florida for Schools
These school travel programs explore Florida’s space science and coasts, from the Kennedy Space Center and the Indian River Lagoon to the Everglades and the Florida Keys.
Each program is a starting point. We adjust the dates, length and focus to your school’s learning goals. Open any program to see the day-by-day itinerary, or use the filters to narrow the list.
What do Florida educational tours cover?
The five programs run 5 to 9 days and start at $2,010 to $4,185 per student excluding airfare. Three are based on the Space Coast and in Orlando, and two follow the Everglades to Key West.
Days follow each sample itinerary and may include travel to or from the destination. Nights count from the U.S. departure to the departure from the destination, so an overnight flight out is included and the flight home is not. Your proposal confirms the dates and overnight plan.
