Drive south from Miami — Everglades first, Biscayne by boat, then the ferry out to Dry Tortugas for the finale. Mid-January sits squarely in South Florida's dry season: expect pleasant highs in the low-to-mid 70s°F and lows in the upper 50s to low 60s, with minimal rainfall. Winter cold fronts occasionally push through, bringing brief windy, cooler days and choppier boat crossings to Dry Tortugas and Biscayne, so build a weather buffer around the ferry day. Mosquito activity is at its yearly low, making this the best season for Everglades hiking.
