About the Tour
Our sunshine-filled journey begins just an hour outside Miami, Florida: on Key Largo. This is the first of the Keys, or islands, leading down to the famous Key West.Â
Begin this scenic 100-mile Florida Keys driving tour bypassing the ‘African Queen,’ the iconic Hollywood riverboat. Follow in the historical footsteps of the Overseas Railroad to Plantation Key, the smugglers’ haven. While there, check out Big Betsy, the giant lobster, and Theatre of the Sea, home of the original dolphin shows.
Continue through Isla Morada while learning about the hurricanes, ecosystems, and wildlife of the tropical Florida Keys. Explore Anne’s Beach, Long Key, and Marathon, each of which contains unique attractions.
Cross over the iconic Seven Mile Bridge, the staple of the Florida Keys. Be sure to check out Fred the Tree, the stalwart spirit of the Keys! Journey past Pigeon Key and Geiger Beach until you reach the most famous Key of all: Key West.Â
Discover Mallory Square, Truman’s White House, the Hemingway Home, Tennessee Williams’ House, and the historic lighthouse in Key West. Wrap up the comprehensive and extensive self-guided tour at the Southernmost Point of the Continental US.

Tour FAQs
There are a few different months when you might want to visit the Florida Keys, depending on what you’re looking for, but the consensus for Florida Keys tours is June or July. While this is dependent on a few different factors, those months in the summer are ideal for most vacationers – as long as you don’t mind the heat, that is.
This is subjective of course, but in our opinion, it’s pretty hard to beat the beaches of Bahia Honda Key.
Absolutely, yes! There are a thousand and one reasons to take some Florida Keys tours or just wander around and explore the Keys for yourself. The Florida Keys are one of the most popular vacation and retirement spots in the entire country – and with good reason!
 While there are plenty of Keys residents who get by with just a bike and a boat, a tourist to the islands is definitely going to need a car, especially if they’re taking our Florida Keys tour. The Florida Keys are an island chain over 100 miles long.
 It’s hard to pick the prettiest part of the Florida Keys, but for our money, it has to be the beaches. There’s a reason that Florida Keys tours always talk up the shoreline.
The majority of the Keys are tiny little rocks in the middle of the ocean, but most Florida Keys tours will just take you to the string of islands between Key Largo and Key West that are accessible by car. Of the 800 Florida Keys, there are only about 10 or 11 that are big enough to take note of, and they’re all reachable by car if you take the Overseas Highway.
No, not really. Seven Mile Bridge is a stretch of highway over the water, so while the view of the ocean is one of the most spectacular vistas on any Florida Keys tour, there isn’t really anywhere to stop.
