Miami to Key West Day Trip with Parasailing

Looking for a Miami to Key West Day Trip that will add a thrilling adventure and some exotic tropical flair to your Miami visit? Take a day tour south down the incredible Overseas Highway to spend an afternoon exploring Key West and flying high above the water on a parasail flight. This easy-to-arrange package lets you take in beautiful views of the entire Florida Keys island chain, try out the thrilling sport of parasailing, and spend some time exploring Key West – America’s Caribbean paradise.

Take advantage of free transfer service to the departure point from most hotels in Sunny Isles Beach, Miami Beach, and Downtown Miami. Settle in to a comfortable seat on the modern touring coach and prepare to enjoy one of the top-rated scenic drives in America. Listen to the narrated tour while the scenery passes by the panoramic windows, take pictures, read, or nap in the cool air-conditioning while the coach rolls south from Miami.

The route follows U.S. Highway 1 through the Southern Everglades then leaves the mainland to become the Overseas Highway on the crossing to Key Largo. After rolling through this famous marina resort village, the coach is soon passing emerald water on each side of the road as the Overseas Highway runs deeper into the natural wonderland of the Florida Keys. Threading the narrow Keys, the highway passes through bustling recreational boating harbor towns and presents frequent overwater views of the Gulf of Mexico and the Florida Straits.

There are 43 bridges between Key Largo and Key West, but none of them compare to the Seven Mile Bridge. It spans open water from the western end of Marathon Key to tiny uninhabited Little Duck Key 6.79 miles away, and when it was completed in 1982, the Seven Mile Bridge was renowned as one of the longest of its type in the world. This amazing example of bridge engineering presents such dramatic views that it has been featured in chase and stunt scenes in movies like True Lies, 2 Fast 2 Furious, and Bad Boys. You can take it all in and be thrilled by the sensation of gliding fast and low over blue water as the coach runs toward the bridge’s western end and the gateway to the Lower Keys.

In the Lower Keys, sparsely-inhabited islands separated by glass-clear channels and shallow bays offer views that take you to remote Caribbean islands far away even though Miami is just a few hours north by road. Undeveloped stretches of tropical bushland bring back echoes of the old Florida Keys when explorers, pirates, smugglers, and pioneer watermen tried to scratch fortunes from the marine wilderness. There is nothing like it anywhere else in America.

When you arrive in Key West around noon, you can walk a few blocks to the harbor where a state-of-the-art 12-passenger parasailing boat is ready to take you flying high above the offshore waters. After a short ride out to the parasailing grounds, brief instructions are given and guests begin strapping in for their parasail flights. Within minutes it’s your turn to stand on the platform at the rear of the boat and lift gracefully into the air under the canopy. Soaring up to 300 feet above the water, the views of Key West and the surrounding waters are incredible. The rush of ascending and descending will have you laughing with excitement, and the expert captain will keep you perfectly dry unless you ask for a cooling toe dip.

When you return to shore, there will still be time to wander the streets of Old Town Key West, have a meal and lift a glass to a day of high adventure. Celebrate with confidence knowing you have a professional designated driver to bring you safely back to Miami by about 10:00pm.
