    Full description

    Embark on a full-day tour of Key West from Miami. Feel the Caribbean atmosphere of the Florida Keys and explore at your own pace. See important sites, including Hemingway’s House, or opt to swim in the sea.

    Start with a 4-hour drive across 43 bridges and 31 islands to America's “Caribbean Islands,” the Florida Keys. The string of islands and islets, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, leads to Key West, the only frost-free city in the continental United States! Once in Key West, experience a Caribbean atmosphere complete with friendly street artists, lively outdoor cafés, and alfresco restaurants. Spend some time exploring Key West on your own.

    Book lovers might like to visit Ernest Hemingway’s House to see the former home of the famous author. Or, if you prefer, you can go to the southernmost point of the continental United States at the famous "90 miles to Cuba" Monument.

    Explore museums, such as the Mel Fisher Museum, the Light House Museum, or Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum (tickets not included). Feel the pulse of Key West at Mallory Square next to the cruise ship port. You may also choose to add one of our most popular adventure activities, such as a snorkeling trip to see tropical fish, a ride in a glass-bottom boat, or the hop-on and hop-off sightseeing trolley bus (tickets not included in the price). Depart Key West at 5:30 PM for the drive back over the bridges and islands.

    Our trip started from Miami to Key West.The driver was very professional with the safety of the passengers. Lily was our tour guide and she was really awesome at her job. Her patience was great and she made us comfortable on the trip. Thank you both for a great trip.

    The tour guide was kind. However, the AC Did not work & it was hot. For the ride back we did get placed on another bus though!! We stopped for breakfast at McDonald’s on the way- it would have been nice to stop at local place rather than a chain. Nice guide & clean bus!

    Great tour guide, excellent bus driver. They kept us well informed and both were very friendly and trustworthy. Once on the island, I would not recommend the trolley tour. You're much better off renting a scooter for $65 for the day or renting a golf cart. You'll be much happier. (The rental places are everywhere on the island)
