Every Miami visitor should experience the wonders of the Overseas Highway, once the route of Henry Flagler’s Florida Overseas Railroad, an early 20th-century tourist train connection to Key West. A 4-hour ride takes you along the Keys on this incredible highway that crosses 43 bridges to connect 31 islands on the way to Key West. You will cruise above open blue waters on the world-famous Seven Mile Bridge, an engineering marvel that has been featured in many movies including the Fast and Furious series. Expansive Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico views on both sides of the road, interesting small island communities, busy road-side marinas and fishing camps, and lush tropical foliage all around make an Overseas Highway tour one of the top American road trips.
You will arrive in the exciting island city of Key West just in time for lunch. Fine dining restaurants, casual outdoor cafes and food trucks, unique shops, boutiques, and galleries, and of course legendary Key West watering holes like Sloppy Joe’s and Captain Tony’s Saloon line the bustling streets. You can soak in the lively atmosphere, visit historic highlight attractions including the Southernmost Point, the Ernest Hemingway House and Museum, the Harry Truman Little White House, or Mel Fisher’s Treasure Museum. Be sure to save some time to relax on one the city’s public beaches or with a cold drink on a patio overlooking Mallory Square and Key West Harbor.
Visitors who love the water and want to spend an active afternoon can upgrade their Key West 1-Day Tour to include a snorkeling adventure, a parasailing flight, or a glass-bottom boat cruise. Bring your swimming suit and sunscreen! A Key West Trolley Tour option makes it easy to get around the island to see and do more during your time in Key West.

Employees were great. The snorkeling was a great fun experience
Great way to day trip to Key West!
Jordana K, Jun 2022 Verified
Very pleased with our trip. I had a few questions before I booked it that I was able to ask via text. They replied promptly with all the information I was looking for. The bus was on time and easy to find. Traffic was light so we arrived early and had plenty of hours to spend on Key West. We intentionally went on a Sunday thinking traffic would be lightest on a Sunday.
Super fun, smooth trip!

Cool Key West provided a very organized and smooth excursion to Key West! They have this down! Timing was spot on, we had plenty of free time after snorkeling to eat at a sit down restaurant without being rushed. Yet there was no long periods of dead time in the day. Both the bus and driving were comfortable. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend this company! Would tour with them again! 10/10!

Great experience
Elizabeth C, Jun 2022 Verified
This was a well-organized, interesting, and informative day trip—highly recommended! Tamara was a pleasant, kind, and efficient tour guide and Lucas a competent and safe driver. Despite the weather not cooperating for the snorkelling portion, our day in Key West and the spectacularly scenic drive there and back were very enjoyable. Great way to experience the Keys, especially when on a limited time frame…tour guide commentary really helpful!
Nice Day Trip

This day trip was pretty nice. I did 2 excursions so I didn't get a chance to spend time in the town of Key West and learn some of the history. I wish it was 2 hours longer LOL. Thanks!
Excellent trip to Key West & fun glassbottom boat experience
Hannah W, Jun 2022 Verified
I really enjoyed my day down in Key West. Our tour guide Orlando was really nice, he shared plenty of facts about places along our journey and gave me clear, detailed instructions on how to find the boat. The journey was smooth - I was picked up on time and we left Key West on time.The weather wasn't on our side for the boat experience but it was still fun and the crew were all very friendly and informational.
Quiet, fast, simple. Excelent
Alberto R, Jun 2022 Verified
Overall this trip was excellent.My main goal on my vacations to Florida was seeing Key West so I was really hoping for this tour to be good. I'm glad to announce that it was the caseThe bus arrived on time and with many people (meaning lots of folks trusted them). We departed at the appointed time and reached Key West with no issues. We also returned on time and safelyThey provide additional activities in Key West but I didn't bought any of them so I can't talk about those. However, if what you want is to go and return with no issues in a quiet, comfortable, secure bus, this is the one for youThank you very much for giving me this experience Cool Destinations. Blessed
