onGear up and head for a mesmerizing journey to the island city! Keep driving to Route 1 terminus, and you’ll hit
upon Key West - the tropical paradise that was once home to the famous Ernest Hemingway and Tennessee
Williams.
The island city is a true inspiration for vacationers and carves a niche for its sandy beaches, free-spirited
nightlife and quirky architecture. It’s a relatively small island, but despite its size you’ll be spoilt with its
diverse attractions. Whether you are eyeing a booze party with your friends at a Duval Street bar or wish to
learn about the city’s regal history, there’s a Key West tour to match your preferences.
We’ve streamlined top 5 Key West tours that deserve a visit on your vacation:
Pub Tour
Enjoy the laid-back island’s vibe as never before. Visit some of the hottest bars on your pub tour and get
intoxicated! Wander in the Historic Seaport and drop in at the best bars, including Durty Harry's, Wharf Bar,
Schooner and Rick's. Order your choice of drink and they’ll serve the best!
Ghosts and Gravestones Tour
While some get goose bumps from the very thought of taking a scary tour, there are many who feel just the
other way out. The slightest mention of haunted lore and spooky tales may excite them. If you too belong to the
latter group, then prefer taking a Ghosts and Gravestones tour. Make your way to the creepiest highlights of the
island, including Robert the Doll, a supposedly cursed doll, which is now sheltered in the Fort East Martello
Museum. You’ll also see frightening sites like Captain Tony’s Saloon, the African Slave Cemetery and the
Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes.
Conch Tour Train
Haven’t taken a trolley tour before? Do it now! Take a Conch Tour Train to explore the island’s chief sites,
such as Harry S. Truman's Little White House, the Ernest Hemingway House and Mel Fisher's Maritime
Museum. The train tour has three stopovers: Station Depot, Truval Village and Flagler Station. Rides for kids
under 12 years are free. Besides, senior citizens and military men can avail discounts on their tour.
Eco-Tours
Why not choose some of the best eco-tours on your trip to Miami? Take the guided tours to the mangrove
forests, salt ponds and rivers. You may either choose a half-day or full day tour based on your time availability
and convenience.
While you explore the mesmerizing beauty of the tropical paradise, the guides speak about the ecology of the
mangroves, islands and engulfing waters. While paddling, you can see manatees, stingrays, jellyfish, crabs,
starfish, and sea anemones. Animal lovers can tour the national wildlife refuges that are home to various birds,
including pelicans, cormorants, and egrets.
Water Adventures
Your Key West tour is incomplete if you haven’t tried out the water activities. Take individual tours for
snorkeling, jet skiing, kayaking, and parasailing to explore the underwater beauty of the island city.
Key West makes a perfect destination for everybody! No matter what your tastes are, you’ll get it here. So, pack
your bags and head for an amazing trip.
