Miami to Key West Day Trip & Glass Bottom Boat Cruise Combo

Combine a road trip along the scenic Florida Keys with a marine adventure aboard the best Key West glass-bottom boat on this exciting Miami to Key West Day Trip & Glass Bottom Boat Cruise Combo. Cool Destinations invites you to experience sightseeing on the incredible Overseas Highway, then depart from Key West in the afternoon on a state-of-the-art glass-bottom boat to observe the amazing coral reefs and marine life of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. It’s a beautiful ride in air-conditioned comfort aboard a luxury touring coach, and you will arrive in Key West rested, enjoy an unforgettable day, then return to Miami refreshed at about 10:00 pm.

Take advantage of convenient free morning pickup service from most hotels in South Beach, Miami Beach, or Downtown Miami and transfer to the departure point to board the clean, modern touring coach. Soft, aircraft-style reclining seats are perfect for the 4-hour drive down the entire length of the Florida Keys. As the coach heads south from Downtown Miami, get ready for a thrilling ride through the Southern Everglades and across the narrow land bridge from the Mainland onto Key Largo, northernmost island in the Florida Keys chain.

Beginning in Key Largo, U.S. Highway 1 becomes the legendary Overseas Highway. As the coach follows this spectacular road southwest across both inhabited and uninhabited islands, you get a constant stream of superb views over the emerald and blue waters of the Florida Straits and the Gulf of Mexico. Listen to the narrated tour and enjoy the view, take photos, read a book, or simply relax and nap during the smooth, peaceful ride.

The coach traverses 31 islands separated by 43 bridges over open water as it travels down the Keys. The highlight of the trip is traveling over the renowned Seven Mile Bridge. Spanning 6.79 miles of open water, soaring high above the turquoise waves, this engineering marvel is famous for producing the sensation of flying low and fast over the sea. You might recognize some of the views because the bridge has been featured in many television shows and popular action movies including the Fast and Furious series.

The western end of the Seven Mile Bridge marks the beginning of the Lower Keys. Passing through open tropical bush lands and tiny seaside towns, running swiftly along white-sand shorelines and past marina harbors, the coach arrives in Key West around 12:00 noon. There is time to grab a bit of lunch and get ready for more adventure, then you will go aboard a sleek high-tech glass-bottom catamaran for a cruise out into the crystal waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

The boat features sun deck seating, clean, spacious restrooms, a snack bar, and an air-conditioned enclosed viewing area specially designed to provide all passengers with an excellent look at the sea bottom passing under the boat. The visibility through the observation panels is good, similar to looking through a dive mask. It's easy to get a close-up perspective of one of the most biologically diverse marine eco-systems in the world.
