Details
Trade the ordinary for island time as you journey to the vibrant charm of Key West, where pastel streets, ocean breezes, and rich history await. Settle into our waterfront resort hotel and kick things off with a welcome dinner at Conch Republic Seafood Company. Over the next few days, you will experience the island from every angle, rolling through town on the iconic Conch Tour Train, stepping inside the storied Harry S. Truman Little White House, and uncovering maritime treasures at the Mel Fisher Maritime Museum. You will also visit the legendary home of Ernest Hemingway, where six-toed cats roam, and take in the beauty of the Florida Keys from a glass-bottom boat over crystal-clear waters.
The experience deepens with a breathtaking private tour along the Overseas Highway, crossing the famed Seven Mile Bridge and exploring the natural wonders of Bahia Honda State Park, where you may spot endangered Key deer and soak in unforgettable coastal views, as well as tour Pigeon Key, a historic 5-acre island that one housed workers building the Overseas Railway and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Throughout the trip, you will have plenty of time to wander, shop, and savor Key West at your own pace. With thoughtfully planned excursions balanced by free time to explore, this getaway offers the perfect blend of culture, relaxation, and adventure. All that is missing is you; reserve your spot and let Key West’s magic do the rest.
