Description

This great Cool Key West Miami to Key West Day Trip will be the highlight of any visit to the Miami or Fort Lauderdale area. Don’t pass up the chance to explore the Florida Keys and take in the sights and sounds of colorful Key West, America’s Caribbean Island paradise. Pack a lot of fun into one convenient day trip as you experience the incredible Overseas Highway and the Lower Florida Keys then shop, dine, party and play the afternoon away in exciting, eccentric Key West.

Relax and watch the scenery go by from the smooth-riding safety and air-conditioned comfort of a luxury touring coach with an experienced professional at the wheel. It’s the ultimate way to experience one of America’s most renowned road trips, and you can arrive in Key West rested and ready to enjoy the island then return to Miami in the evening refreshed. It’s the easiest, most economical way to make a Key West side trip from Miami, and the world-class views from the Overseas Highway are priceless.

Plan an early departure point check in with complementary pickup service from any hotel in Miami Beach, or Downtown Miami. Be sure to pack your favorite travel accessories – camera, smart phone, tablet, reading material – as well as a swim suit, towel, and sunblock if you plan to get some beach time or enjoy watersports. After check in, you can board the modern touring coach and settle into a soft, comfortable seat for a 7:45am departure on the interesting 4-hour cruise down the entire length of the Florida Keys.

Catch the ever-changing views as the coach heads south through the Miami suburbs and cuts across the Southern Everglades on U.S. Highway 1. Soon, blue water appears on both sides of the coach and you enter a different world as you cross onto Key Largo and begin traveling down the famous Overseas Highway.

The coach threads its way down the Keys along a series of narrow islands with the waters of the Straits of Florida and the Gulf of Mexico nearly always in sight. The Overseas Highway crosses open water on 43 bridges, but nothing compares to climbing from the western tip of Marathon Key onto one of the most dramatic crossings in the world – the incredible Seven Mile Bridge.

Millions have been amazed by it in many television shows and action movies like the Fast and Furious series, but nothing compares to experiencing the Seven Mile Bridge in person. You get an awesome feeling of flight as miles of emerald blue water pass below and the coach swoops smoothly towards a return to land at the bridge’s Little Duck Key off ramp. The road continues west through the small villages and lush foliage of the Lower Keys, and you can listen to the narrated tour to get a feel of old Florida, when small fishing camps, farming operations, and the natural world of blue water, white sand and tropical wilderness were primary themes of life in the Keys.

Time flies on this scenic expedition, and soon you arrive in the tiny island city of Key West. Get ready to explore the historic harbor town where a distinct Caribbean atmosphere gives visitors the feeling of being somewhere beyond the borders of America. Dining, shopping, bar crawls, and many famous attractions and historic landmarks will keep you busy all afternoon long. Be sure to visit the Southernmost Point, most photographed spot on the island, and take a walk around legendary Mallory Square.

You can upgrade your Miami to Key West Day Trip to include a tour on the Key West Trolley. If the water is calling, reserve a snorkeling trip, parasailing flight, glass-bottom boat tour, or some jet skiing. Cool Key West makes it fast and easy to complete all your arrangements through our 100% secure online booking system. Book your Key West day tour now and cast off for the islands!
