Experience a different side of Florida on a six-day motorcycle adventure from Orlando to Florida's Gulf Coast. This tour takes you away from the major highways and into the heart of Florida, combining scenic backroads, historic places, unique attractions, beautiful beaches and some of the state's most uniquely memorable experiences.


Starting from Orlando, we'll ride through the interior of the state before reaching the Gulf Coast and Gasparilla Island, where we'll spend two nights exploring the island and surrounding area. Along the way, you'll experience places that are easy to miss when traveling the main roads, including a scenic byway and the unusual Solomon's Castle built by an artist.


From Gasparilla Island, the tour continues north along Florida's Gulf Coast toward Clearwater Beach, with opportunities to explore local communities, enjoy waterfront dining and experience the relaxed atmosphere of Florida's Gulf Coast. Two nights in Clearwater provide time to enjoy the beach while also discovering more of what makes this part of Florida unique.

On the return ride toward Orlando, we'll visit the famous Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks, paddle the waterways around Crystal River, and make a stop at the historic Richloam General Store.


This isn't simply a ride from Orlando to the beach. It's an opportunity to experience Florida from the seat of a motorcycle—using the backroads, discovering places beyond the typical tourist destinations, and combining the freedom of riding with Florida's history, nature, food, beaches and local character.
