Description
Come aboard with the Miami to Key West Bus Tour Company for a Miami to Key West Day Trip to add an unforgettable highlight to your Miami visit. This Miami to Key West 1-day tour combines a Florida Keys road trip with an afternoon in unique Key West. One fun-filled day lets you experience the incredible Overseas Highway then shop, dine, party and play the afternoon away in America’s Caribbean paradise.
Arrive in Key West rested and return to Miami in the evening refreshed when you explore the Keys from the smooth-riding safety and air-conditioned comfort of a luxury touring coach driven by an experienced professional. There is absolutely no better, more economical way to make a side trip from Miami to Key West.
Start your Miami to Key West tour with a free morning pick up at any of the major hotels in Sunny Isles Beach, Miami Beach, or Downtown Miami. Board the modern touring coach and grab one of the soft comfortable seats for the scenic 4-hour drive down the Keys. Settle in with your favorite travel accessories – camera, smart phone, tablet, reading material – as the coach rolls out of Miami and through the Southern Everglades on U.S. Highway 1. When you reach Key Largo and see blue water on both sides of the coach, you are on the famous Overseas Highway and in a different world.
As the coach makes its way down the Keys, the waters of the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico are nearly always in sight. The highway crosses open water on 43 bridges during the trip, but the most memorable crossing of all comes at the jump-off from Marathon Key onto the northern end of the renowned Seven Mile Bridge.
Get your camera ready, because this engineering marvel, made famous in movies like Bad Boys, 2 Fast 2 Furious, and True Lies, gives the feeling of flying low over emerald blue water as the coach glides serenely towards the bridge’s southern end on Little Duck Key. Then listen to the narrated tour and catch glimpses of old Florida as the coach continues down through the lower Keys where blue water, white sand, lush tropical vegetation and easy living still hold the modern world at bay.
Whether you choose to watch the sights roll past, shoot photos or simply nap in cool comfort, you will arrive in Key West around noon rested, refreshed, and ready to explore the island. Take in the Caribbean atmosphere, linger in an outdoor café, go shopping, or see the sights. Visit historic landmarks like the Hemingway House & Museum, the Southernmost Point, the Mel Fisher Treasure Museum, Mallory Square and more.
Or upgrade your day tour to include an active afternoon and head out to sea for a snorkeling trip, a parasailing flight, a glass-bottom boat tour, or some jet skiing. All arrangements are quick and easy with the Miami to Key West Bus Tour Company's 100% secure online booking system and a few clicks of the mouse or taps of your smart phone screen.

Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience,
regardless of circumstance and ability.To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level.
These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible
to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific
disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML,
adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with
screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive
a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements,
alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website.
In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels;
descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups),
and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag
for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on
as soon as they enter the website.These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Browser and assistive technology compatibility

Notes, comments, and feedback
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
