A full-day bus run to Key West and the Lower Keys — 14.5 hours of beaches, blue water and island time.
This is a long, deliberate day: you board a coach in South Florida and ride roughly four hours down the Overseas Highway to Key West, punctuated by a couple of scheduled rest stops. Once in Key West you have ample time ashore to choose high-energy water sports or slow, walkable streets and museums — a concentrated immersion in the sub-tropical island rhythm before the return to the mainland late that evening.
