Description

Explore the exotic side of Florida on a Miami to Key West Day Trip. A visit to Key West is a highlight of any Miami vacation, and The Key West Express makes it easy. In one busy, fun-filled day you can enjoy a road trip down the legendary Overseas Highway, tour the full length of the Florida Keys, and spend an afternoon shopping, dining, partying, and playing in unique Key West, America’s only Caribbean paradise.

Our Miami to Key West Day Trip offers the safest, easiest, and most economical way to add a Key West side trip to your vacation. Leave the driving to the professionals and arrive in Key West rested and ready to enjoy the island city. Eat, drink, and be merry Key West style knowing that your seat is reserved for a safe return to Miami in the air-conditioned comfort of a luxury touring coach piloted by an experienced driver.

Your Miami to Key West tour begins in the morning with a check in at the convenient downtown departure point or a free pick up from the major hotels in Miami Beach or Downtown Miami. Our modern touring coaches have all the necessities that make for a great trip – soft, comfortable reclining seats, tinted windows, and a high-fidelity sound system that makes it easy to listen to the tour narration.

The miles pass quickly as the coach rolls out of Miami, through the Southern Everglades on U.S. Highway 1 and down to Key Largo. Then blue water appears on both sides of the coach as you get on the Overseas Highway and enter a different world, with the Gulf and Atlantic waters almost constantly in sight as the coach heads south-west down the Florida Keys.

The highway crosses open water on 43 bridges, but the moment everyone anticipates is the Marathon Key jump-off onto the northern end of the renowned Seven Mile Bridge. Have your camera handy because the Bridge is a marvel of highway engineering that offers incredible ocean-scape views and gives the feeling of flying low over emerald blue water. You may recognize sights and scenes that were made famous in the movies Bad Boys, 2 Fast 2 Furious, and True Lies.

The coach glides back onto solid ground on Little Duck Key, gateway to the Lower Keys. Listen to the narrated tour while traveling through this historic region where blue water, white sand, lush tropical vegetation, and easy living recall the days of the old Florida Keys. Plan to arrive in Key West around noon with plenty of time available to explore the island. You can have lunch and a beverage at an outdoor café table, shop and sightsee in Old Town, or rent a bike and hit the beach.

For an active afternoon, The Key West Express makes it easy to upgrade your day tour to include a snorkeling trip, a parasail ride, a glass-bottom boat tour, or some jet skiing. Making arrangements is quick and easy with a few taps on a smart phone screen and our 100% secure online booking system. Book your Miami to Key West day trip now while space is still available!
