Key West Your Way with Optional Snorkeling, Glass Bottom Boat or Old Town Trolley

Itinerary

You will be picked up from your hotel in Miami and driven to Key West.

Key West Snorkeling Adventure:

This great option offers you the chance to take a thrilling snorkeling cruise in a 65-foot catamaran.

In addition, the warm, tropical water allows visitors to snorkel year round.

Snorkel gear is provided. You will have a total of 5 hours in the Key West area so, on top of your catamaran trip, you will have 2 hours to enjoy what Key West has to offer.

One of the best spots to visit is Mallory Square, a place where many gather for a spontaneous daily celebration. Mallory Square is located by the historic waterfront.
