Key West Old Town Trolley Tours

There’s no better way to see all of Key West than with Old Town Trolley Tours.

The island of Key West is full of fun and exciting things to do and see . From the Southernmost Point to the quaint streets of Old Town, our tour takes you to all the major areas and attractions. See Key West’s first tourist attraction, the Key West Aquarium, which was also the world’s first open air aquarium. Cross the street and you’ll find yourself back in the 1800s at the Key West Shipwreck Treasure Museum, learning about how Key West became one of the richest cities in the US. The Oldest House Museum is also nearby; it is one of the many beautifully restored homes that are open to the public in Key West.

Stop by the Ernest Hemingway House Museum where he is rumored to have written A Farewell to Arms — and don’t forget to look for the 6 or 7 toed cats! Marvel at the beautiful species of butterflies in the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory, and wander next door to the Southernmost House Mansion and Museum, known for its 19th century architecture and tropical gardens. Cool off with a drink at the famous Sloppy Joe’s Bar or Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville in the Old Town area. But don’t leave Key West until you’ve watched the sunset from Mallory Square, a truly memorable experience!

Hop on Fury Water Adventures' boat to see local wildlife both from the boat and in the water.

When you imagine a vacation to Key West, Florida , you'll likely think of days spent on white beaches surrounded by turquoise waters and swaying palm trees. While lounging on the sand is an excellent option, there are also plenty of outdoor activities, attractions and culinary delights to keep you entertained while visiting the southernmost point in the country. U.S. News consulted both traveler reviews and expert opinion to compile this list of the best Key West tours.

Note: Some tour providers on this list may be running more limited operations due to COVID-19 or may impose testing or vaccine requirements. Check with your tour operator about availability before you book.

Fury Water Adventures Key West – Key West Dolphin Watch and Snorkel Tour

Fury Water Adventures' three-hour tour combines two popular Florida activities. First, watch Atlantic bottlenose dolphins as they playfully swim near the catamaran.

Reviews are mostly positive for the dolphin watching portion of the trip, but travelers are less impressed with the snorkeling. Some tourgoers say the reefs aren't colorful and report seeing few fish.

Departures are at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. from September through March. From March through August, trips leave at 9 a.m. as well as 12:30 and 5 p.m. Tickets cost approximately $70 for participants ages 11 and older and $55 for children ages 4 to 10. Children 3 and younger can participate for free, but do need a ticket. Tickets include beverages; beer and wine will be served after snorkeling. Fury Water Adventures also operates sunset cruises and parasailing adventures, among other options.

Compliance status

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation.

• 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.

Compliance status

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation.

• 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.

Disability profiles supported in our website

• Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
• ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
• Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
• Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Description

Explore the exotic side of Florida on a Miami to Key West Day Trip. A visit to Key West is a highlight of any Miami vacation, and The Key West Express makes it easy. In one busy, fun-filled day you can enjoy a road trip down the legendary Overseas Highway, tour the full length of the Florida Keys, and spend an afternoon shopping, dining, partying, and playing in unique Key West, America’s only Caribbean paradise.

Our Miami to Key West Day Trip offers the safest, easiest, and most economical way to add a Key West side trip to your vacation. Leave the driving to the professionals and arrive in Key West rested and ready to enjoy the island city. Eat, drink, and be merry Key West style knowing that your seat is reserved for a safe return to Miami in the air-conditioned comfort of a luxury touring coach piloted by an experienced driver.

Your Miami to Key West tour begins in the morning with a check in at the convenient downtown departure point or a free pick up from the major hotels in Miami Beach or Downtown Miami. Our modern touring coaches have all the necessities that make for a great trip – soft, comfortable reclining seats, tinted windows, and a high-fidelity sound system that makes it easy to listen to the tour narration.

The miles pass quickly as the coach rolls out of Miami, through the Southern Everglades on U.S. Highway 1 and down to Key Largo. Then blue water appears on both sides of the coach as you get on the Overseas Highway and enter a different world, with the Gulf and Atlantic waters almost constantly in sight as the coach heads south-west down the Florida Keys.

The highway crosses open water on 43 bridges, but the moment everyone anticipates is the Marathon Key jump-off onto the northern end of the renowned Seven Mile Bridge. Have your camera handy because the Bridge is a marvel of highway engineering that offers incredible ocean-scape views and gives the feeling of flying low over emerald blue water. You may recognize sights and scenes that were made famous in the movies Bad Boys, 2 Fast 2 Furious, and True Lies.

The coach glides back onto solid ground on Little Duck Key, gateway to the Lower Keys. Listen to the narrated tour while traveling through this historic region where blue water, white sand, lush tropical vegetation, and easy living recall the days of the old Florida Keys. Plan to arrive in Key West around noon with plenty of time available to explore the island. You can have lunch and a beverage at an outdoor café table, shop and sightsee in Old Town, or rent a bike and hit the beach.

For an active afternoon, The Key West Express makes it easy to upgrade your day tour to include a snorkeling trip, a parasail ride, a glass-bottom boat tour, or some jet skiing. Making arrangements is quick and easy with a few taps on a smart phone screen and our 100% secure online booking system. Book your Miami to Key West day trip now while space is still available!

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation.

• 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.

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.

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.

Cruise in spacious comfort to Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas National Park aboard the Yankee Freedom , a high-speed ocean-going catamaran specifically designed for carrying passengers safely across the 70 miles of open water from Key West to the Park. The Yankee Freedom is 110’ long and 30.6’ wide, a broad and stable vessel certified to carry 250 passengers; however, to maximize the comfort of each guest, we limit each tour at 175 passengers. Our veteran captain and friendly crew will take you on a day trip to one of the most unique and spectacular national parks in the United States: The Dry Tortugas National Park and Fort Jefferson . Almost 70 miles west of Key West, nestled among coral reefs , and white sandy beaches, lie seven remote islands called the Dry Tortugas. Unforgettable adventures await you on this most memorable Key West tour. En route to Dry Tortugas National Park our onboard naturalist will give you an orientation about the area and the national park’s surroundings. During your voyage, you will enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Marquesa Islands, Boca Grande, have an opportunity to see turtles and dolphins, and listen to pirate legends. You can travel inside the upper or lower air-conditioned cabins or outside on one of our observation decks. The bow, or front, deck is tiered so you can get a full vista photo rather than the back of some stranger’s head! The Yankee Freedom features comfortable padded sling seats that allow room for movement and easy access to the tables. There are four heads (bathrooms) and three fresh water rinses (with warm water!) that allow you to desalinize and change into dry clothing for the return to Key West. Bars on both decks stock a full compliment of beverages and the galley is open all day for extra snacks, souvenirs and essentials. The bars and the galley are both limited to cash or credit card sales. Rest assured, our award-winning crew will be there to make your adventure fun, comfortable and safe.

The following are items we recommend you bring if you are planning on spending just the day at the Dry Tortugas.

• Bathing suit
• Sunglasses and hat
• Beach Towel
• Change of clothing (during your journey back to Key West, you are welcome to use Yankee Freedom ‘s three fresh water rinses before the return trip home).
• Cash – The Park operates a small gift shop selling books, postcards, T-shirts and other items. The Yankee Freedom serves a large assortment of sodas, snacks, candy, beer, wine, tropical drinks, T-shirts, cameras, Dramamine ™, etc. You may use cash or credit cards for purchases.
• Sturdy pair of walking shoes
• You may bring your own snorkeling gear if you wish.
• National Park Pass

• Complimentary snorkeling equipment
• No hidden fees – ticket includes entrance fee to Dry Tortugas National Park and Fort Jefferson
• Fully narrated 45 minute tour of the fort.
• Beach walking, snorkel, swim, or just relax in the sun
• Enjoy a picnic in the afternoon

The galley on board the Yankee Freedom is a virtual oasis when visiting the Dry Tortugas. Not only do we stock regular and diet soft drinks, but a wide variety of refreshing fruit juices as well. For the adult guest, there is a fully stocked cash bar that is open on the return trip. Popular brands of beer, wine and liquors are highlighted with a tasty array of delicious frozen drinks including Rum Runners, Pina Coladas, Strawberry Daiquiris and frozen Margaritas.

For those interested in a snack, we have fresh popped popcorn, an assortment of chips and candy bars. If you need more than a snack, our galley serves pizza, burgers, hot dogs and soft pretzels. An ice cream bar makes the perfect dessert.

Terrific souvenirs are also available in the galley that include the official Yankee Freedom caps and t-shirts. We also stock suntan lotion, playing cards, and disposable cameras (regular and underwater.)

Upon boarding at 7:30 am from Key West, you will enjoy a breakfast snack.

En route to Dry Tortugas National Park our onboard guide will give you an orientation about the area and the national park’s surroundings. During your voyage to one of America’s most remote National Parks, you will enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Marquesa Islands, Boca Grande, and frequent turtle and dolphin sightings.

You can travel inside one of our comfortable air-conditioned cabins or outside on one of the observation decks. The Yankee Freedom also features comfortable cushioned seats, four restrooms, three fresh water rinse showers (with warm water,) a full galley serving snacks, soft drinks, beer, wine, mixed drinks (on return trip only), film, and souvenirs. You will reach the National Park boundaries within 2 hours 10 minutes after leaving Key West harbor.

Once at Dry Tortugas National Park, you will disembark at Fort Jefferson and have the option of joining a 45-minute guided tour. Based on the number of guests who sign up for the tour, it is often offered at two different times in order to accommodate other activities while at the fort. You will enjoy a complimentary box lunch aboard the Yankee Freedom in our air-conditioned salons.

Visitors can take advantage of the swimming, snorkeling , beach walking, exploring, birding , and the flora and fauna of this pristine island.

After reboarding in mid-afternoon we will depart, arriving back in Key West at approximately 5:15 p.m.
