Driving Directions

Traveling by Air
Gainesville Regional Airport is 30 minutes north of Micanopy and has a few American Airlines and Delta flights each day. I highly recommend flying into this airport and taking an Uber to my home.
Orlando International Airport is approximately 1.5 - 2 hours south of Micanopy. Add extra time to rent the car & any traffic delays (Flights tend to arrive very late and depart early in the day)
Jacksonville International Airport is approximately 1.5 hours northeast of Micanopy. Add extra time to rent a car. You will be driving through small towns and secluded back roads to get here. According to a recent client, the rental car company requires a $500 deposit. (Take an Uber from Gainesville instead)
