The Miami Tour Company offers one of Florida’s most accessible adventures to Key West—an effortless day trip combined with the freedom of an open return. Departing from Miami, the journey begins with a scenic bus ride heading south along the Overseas Highway, a winding route famed for its turquoise waters threading through the Florida Keys.

From the weathered charm of the Ernest Hemingway House and the maritime history showcased at the Coast Guard Cutter Museum, to the striking Southernmost Point buoy marking the United States’ southern tip, visitors are immersed in layers of place-based stories.
Natural highlights nearby include Fort Zachary Taylor State Park, where limestone outcroppings meet some of the Keys’ best snorkeling and beach experiences. The bus parking at 908 Caroline Street places visitors in the heart of the island’s walkable core, offering access to local eateries like Blue Heaven and iconic bars Sloppy Joe’s and Margaritaville.
