1.From Miami: Key West Day Trip with Pickup at Selected Hotels

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 2,918 reviews · 14 hours · from $39Our pick

Miami to Key West in one long day: scenic Keys drive, 6 hours free time, hotel pickup/drop-off, and a bilingual guide.

“Great to have a full 6 hours in Key West. We managed to walk Duval Street, see Mallory Square, visit Ernest Hemingways house, have a drink in Sloppy Joe's Bar & have lunch. The only negative for us was the time spent picking up & dropping off other passengers. Our pick up point was one of the first & so it took ages before we even left Miami on our journey & the same on return.”

“I think the free bus is a better option (yes there’s a free bus on the island - they don’t mention that to you though) but that’s the nature of tourism companies. The guide was a very sweet man who was fluent in five languages which was extremely impressive. All in all, I loved it!”

A long, scenic Miami-to-Key West day trip with 5.5–6 hours to explore Old Town and optional ocean activities by the water.

“I did a reservation with my wife, my mom, and my 7 months old son, and we are very happy we did it. Although I wanted so bad to go in the bus, not the van, it was comfortable, and on time. The only piece of advice I could give to the driver is that he shouldn’t be talking on the phone while driving, but it only happened a few times and for a short period of time, so not a big deal.”
