Miami to Key West Day Trip with Snorkeling

See the Florida Keys and reach Key West in just 4 hours then take an exciting Key West snorkeling cruise on this great Miami to Key West Day Trip with Snorkeling package. Arrange a free morning pickup from most Sunny Isles Beach, Miami Beach, or Downtown Miami hotels then depart the city at 7:45am and travel to Key West via luxury touring coach on the incredible Overseas Highway.

This is one of America’s most renowned road trips, and it’s the perfect way to begin a day of fun and sun in tropical Key West. After touring the full length of the Florida Keys, you will reach the island around noon and board a high-tech ocean catamaran to experience the coral reef snorkeling Key West is famous for. This Key West day trip package will add an unforgettable highlight to any Miami area vacation.

An air-conditioned luxury touring coach will whisk you south from Miami along U.S. Highway 1. After passing through the Southern Everglades, the road leaves the mainland and crosses a narrow land bridge to Key Largo. This is where U.S. 1 becomes the famous Overseas Highway, one of the most scenic roads in the world. It runs through the resort communities and parklands of the Upper Keys, and busy towns alternate with blue water, beaches, and bustling marinas to make for interesting sightseeing. Relax in the spacious comfortable seat, take pictures out the large windows, listen to the narrated tour, catch up on some reading, or just enjoy the beautiful views.

The Overseas Highway crosses 43 bridges on the route to Key West, the final inhabited island in the Florida Keys chain. But nothing matches the spectacular Seven Mile Bridge that reaches from Knights Key on the western tip of Marathon Key to uninhabited Little Duck Key in a single span. One of the top bridge engineering accomplishments in the world, the Seven Mile soars above emerald green water in a crossing that many visitors say is like flying. You might recognize this bridge from the Fast and Furious movie series and other action films. Now you can experience it in real life, and it is truly unforgettable.

After a few more short bridge crossings, Bahia Honda Key marks the beginning of the Lower Keys. This is Caribbean paradise and the views on land and sea are incredible. Small towns, marina resorts, blue water, white sand, and dozens of small islands present an ever-changing panorama. The pristine waters and coral-lined channels of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, or the Backcountry as the locals call it, stretch to the north. You can capture the feel of the Old Keys here, and the tropical atmosphere reminds you that Key West is close.

You will arrive in Key West right around noon and head down to the harbor for a guided Key West snorkeling tour out to the only living coral reefs in North America. It’s a fun boat ride out, and the large, stable ocean catamaran offers plenty of room to relax and enjoy the trip. When the captain selects the ideal spot for the weather and water conditions, friendly crew members will get you geared up with top quality snorkeling gear. If you are a beginner, the crew is ready to help out, but it is actually a really easy sport and soon you will be in the water and amazed at the variety and number of colorful fish and other marine creatures that swarm over the coral patches and sandy bottom.

After snorkeling, a fresh-water shower refreshes and cold beverages make the return trip to port a real happy hour. You will get back to land in time to walk around Old Town to see the sights, shop, and enjoy the local hospitality. Join the fun of cocktail hour in Key West – you have a designated driver for the return trip to Miami, where the coach will drop you off at about 10:00pm.
