Key West Excursions |
|
 |
|
Key West is a great place to get out and explore. Whether you're looking to visit the town's historic homes, snorkel in the coral reefs, experience some of the town's infamous bars and restaurants or just stroll down Duval Street, you'll find lots of things to do in the Conch Republic.
Most of the cruise ships visiting Key West dock at either Pier B or at the Mallory Square dock; both docks are located in or adjacent to the Old Town section of Key West. Some ships will dock at the "Old Mole," which is located in the the Truman Annex; if you're docked here, you will take a 5-minute shuttle ride into the Old Town area.
If you have taken any of the tours listed below, we'd like your feedback on your experience. Please click on the link of the tour you took, and then click the "Write a review of this tour" button and tell us what your experience was all about.
