Miami to Key West Day Trip with Snorkeling

Come along on a Miami to Key West snorkeling tour that includes a sightseeing trip down the length of the Florida Keys on the amazing Overseas Highway followed by an afternoon of snorkeling over the living coral reefs found in the unspoiled waters of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. The Overseas Highway is one of America’s top-ranked scenic drives, and the rich tropical waters around Key West attract thousands of snorkelers and divers each year. With convenient free pickup service from most major Miami hotels, this easy-to-arrange combination of a luxury coach tour to unique Key West and an undersea snorkel adventure is sure to be a highlight of any Miami visit.

South of Florida City, U.S. Highway 1 runs through the wet wilderness of the Southern Everglades then leaves the mainland on the crossing to Key Largo, northernmost of the Florida Keys. From there, the road becomes the legendary Overseas Highway, once the route of an early 20th century rail line to Key West and now a world-class marvel of highway engineering. Famous for views of emerald water that stretches to the horizon on both sides of the roadway, the highway climbs onto the renowned Seven Mile Bridge on the southwest end of Marathon Key.

This awesome span stretches across open water, giving such an impressive feeling of speed and flying that the bridge has been the setting for several action movies including James Cameron’s True Lies and the Fast and Furious series. Keep your camera handy as the coach reaches the end of the bridge and glides onto land at deserted Little Duck Key. Now the road traverses the Lower Keys, where sparkling bays, lush tropical foliage, sandy coves, and small towns recall old times in the Keys when explorers, pirates, smugglers, and adventurous pioneers ruled an untouched marine wonderland. Time seems to fly by as fast as the scenery, and soon it is about 12:00 noon and the coach is rolling into Key West.

Now it’s time to cast off aboard a high-tech ocean catamaran for your own marine adventure. Work on your tan or chill in the shade during a short, scenic cruise out to the Florida Reef. When the captain gives the word, friendly crew members are ready with top quality snorkeling gear and any helpful instruction that a first-time snorkeler might need. Minutes later, you will be slipping into calm, clear water over North America’s only living coral reef and getting close-up views of hundreds of colorful fish and many other marine animals. Relax and float serenely along the surface – if you are quiet and lucky, you might spot a sea turtle or one of Key West’s famous big game fish.

When you come back on board, take a freshwater shower to rinse off the salt and lift a complimentary beverage to toast the day. The boat arrives back to port with plenty of time left for you to explore Old Town or grab a bite to eat. Feel free to enjoy the famous Key West Happy Hour specials because you have a professional driver to get you safely back to Miami by around 10:00 pm.
