Sightseeing Tour

The car eases onto the Overseas Highway and the Atlantic throws back a new shade of blue at every bridge. In a climate-controlled vehicle with room for four, your driver-guide folds the map into stories: the railway that became a highway, Cuban fishermen who shaped the island’s cuisine, and a century of castaway tales that still drift in the salt air.

Adventure Tips

Start early

Morning departure keeps heavy traffic at bay and gives you cooler hours on the island before midday heat.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Key West’s reefs are fragile—use reef-safe SPF and reapply after swimming.

Wear comfortable shoes

Expect cobblestone streets and boardwalks; lightweight walking shoes handle both sand and pavement.

Pack small cash

Some museum gift shops and street vendors prefer cash for quick purchases or tips.

Local Insights

Wildlife

History

Key West grew as a maritime hub—wrecking, sponging and wreck salvaging made it wealthy in the 19th century; Hemingway lived here from 1931–1940.

Conservation

The Florida Keys depend on vulnerable coral reefs and mangroves; choose reef-safe products and follow local guidelines for beach and water use to minimize impact.
