Key West water excursions and more
Adrenaline rush or ultimate relaxation? Check your mood and take your pick. Key West has it all, from blissed-out vibes at the Butterfly & Nature Conservancy to the heart-racing rush of jet skiing past rocky shores, salt water in your hair.
In Key West, you can kayak through watery mangrove forests or snorkel the third-largest coral reef in the world. Visit our partners over at Danger Charter to plan your snorkel, kayak and sail all in one place. Take a stand-up paddleboard tour and spot wild dolphins. Channel your inner Hemingway with deep-sea fishing for blue marlin, sailfish or barracuda. Take your adventures to the deep with scuba diving at any of the many Key West dive centers. At day’s end, unwind with a sunset sail, sipping Prosecco on an elegant schooner.
