Sample Shore Excursions

Conch Train/Old Town Trolley Tour

    Sit back in the authentically styled Conch Tour Train or Old Town Trolley, while expert guides turn back the pages of history to a time when Key West was a bustling sea town, on the farthest frontier of young America. The Conch Train/Old Town Trolley offers an exciting and entertaining view of Key West with over 100 points of interest, including the Hemingway House, Audubon House, Cemetery, Naval Base, Southernmost Point, Lighthouse, Casa Marina, Martello Forts, Duval Street, Truman's Little White House, and much, much more. As the train/trolley makes its way over some 14 miles of old Key West, you meet Key West history face to face, going through the Spanish Conquistadors, pirates and the great wrecking days. Key West is the southernmost city in the continental United States. The island city is only 1.5 miles wide by 4 miles long and sits right between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. Your tour will involve the pirate histories that are part of this colorful island, as well as passing the harbor with all of its activity and you will see some of the most beautiful and colorful conch shells. The old conch homes will relive the great wrecking days that once made Key West the wealthiest city in the United States. The end of the tour will be at Mallory Square in the heart of Old Town.

Key West Nature Kayaking Tour

    Our professional and knowledgeable drivers will entertain you on the short drive across Key West to the marina. There you will be equipped for your outing and receive basic kayak instructions. The 1 hour kayak adventure will lead you through the islands of Key West and Stock Island. The shallow, clear waters allow for easy viewing of sea life. Common sightings include conch shells, sea cucumbers, sea stars, sponges, nurse sharks, tropical fish and even the occasional manatee, sting ray, and octopus. For the bird lovers you can enjoy the frequent sightings of herons, egrets and ospreys. Single and double kayaks available.

Mel Fisher Maritime Heritage Museum

    In 1662, the Spanish galleons Nuestra Senora de Atocha and Santa Margarita sank off the coast of Florida, taking with them a bounty of gold, silver and precious gems. In 1969, Mel Fisher began his search for this 300-year-old lost treasure. By the mid-80s, he had discovered the main cargo hold of the Atocha, whose treasure is worth about $400 million. Don't miss visiting the Mel Fisher Maritime Heritage Museum with priceless treasures and walk-in environments that provide a full-scale experience of life on three continents centuries ago. The museum is located downtown.

Key West Homes & Garden Tour

    This walking tour visits many of Key West's finest homes and gardens. Departing from Mallory Square, you will take a tree-shaded stroll to the Heritage House, a 19th-century sea captain's home and former winter retreat of poet Robert Frost. Take a guided tour and hear a recording of the poet reading his works. After refreshments in the garden, it's off to Casa Antigua, where the Hemingways first wintered before buying their famous home in 1931. Once a hotel, it burned to the ground and was rebuilt as a private home, with the largest courtyard in Key West. Next, walk to the Audubon House passing the Old Stone Church and many fine old homes now converted into guesthouses.
    It was at the Audubon House where John James Audubon created some of his famous " Birds of America " in 1832. Aside from original Audubon engravings, the house features exquisite European furnishings, raised verandahs, and spacious grounds. Your tour concludes there, just a short walk to the shops of Duval Street.
