			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Transportation to Key West: A Plethora of Options to Make Your Travel Convenient and Comfortable</strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p>For such a petite island like Key West, there is no dearth of things to do. The island city has a rich history, from </p><p>the "Little White House," to the Ernest Hemingway House; you'll get the opportunity to see all these and more. </p><p>And then, there are many vacationers who cannot think beyond snorkeling, fishing, kite boarding, scuba diving, </p><p>and kayaking on their Key West holiday. </p><p>Drinking margaritas is a noted pastime and you’ll always find a festival or two to celebrate here! If you have </p><p>plans to visit this tropical paradise sometime soon, then the popular transportation options include: </p><p><strong>Enjoy a Pleasant Flight Journey: An Expensive Affair</strong></p><p>Key West International Airport is served by different airlines, though a short runway keeps away big jets from </p><p>landing. You may board direct flights from Charlotte, Atlanta, and most prominent Floridian cities. There are </p><p>also some flights for Key West that leave from the Bahamas. A well-known route to fly in is through Miami </p><p>International Airport or Fort Lauderdale International Airport.</p><p><strong>Comfortable Bus Journey for Travelers </strong></p><p>You may also take bus tours from Miami. The tours usually depart from Miami Beach during the early hours of </p><p>the day. Make your reservations, board a comfortable bus and enjoy a smooth ride across the Overseas Highway </p><p>and 7-Mile Bridge. The tour widens your scope to do some sightseeing en route and spend about 6 hours in the </p><p>island city. You may also expect complimentary hotel pick-up from select hotels on Miami Beach &amp; Downtown </p><p>Miami. Once you are in Key West, you can also take public buses to see the city and its promising attractions. </p><p><strong>Scenic Sail Routes</strong></p><p>You can take high-speed passenger ferries that depart on a routine basis from Ft. Myers Beach and Marco </p><p>Island. The ferries are harbored at the Key West Bight Ferry Terminal in the heart of the Historic Seaport </p><p>District. This very destination is adorned with fine restaurants, bars and shops. From here, you can take a walk </p><p>to Duval Street and explore the nearby attractions on your own pace. </p><p>The ferry ride takes about 3.5 hours and the Ft. Myers Beach vessels can accommodate up to 450 passengers. </p><p>The ferries are loaded with amenities including flat-screen TV's, out-door sundecks, galley service, and a full </p><p>bar. The Marco Island vessel too features similar amenities; the only difference is that it can accommodate up to </p><p>250 passengers.</p><p><strong>Enjoy a Car Ride and Take in Beautiful Sights</strong></p><p>The Overseas Highway ends in Key West, and connects the different Keys’ towns with mainland Florida. This </p><p>in turn provides links into the US Interstate network, hence traveling to Key West is simple. You will take about </p><p>three and a half hours to reach the island city from Miami. However, driving around the town is a bit </p><p>challenging and you may have to spend a fortune for long-term parking as well. </p><p>From Miami International Airport, you need to take LeJeune Road south to 836 West. Next, follow the Florida </p><p>Turnpike south toward Key West and continue riding. The Turnpike terminates at US 1 in Florida City. From </p><p>here, you need to keep riding towards US 1 south and soon you will be in Key West.</p><p>With multiple transportation options to choose from, traveling to Key West doesn’t seem to be a challenging </p><p>endeavor.

			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Key West Tours - Things to do On an Unforgettable Trip to the Dry Tortugas</strong></p><p>Have you heard of this place called Dry Tortugas? 7 tiny islands make up the Dry Tortugas which is 70 miles </p><p>west of Key West in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. It not only famous for its amazing beaches and natural </p><p>beauty but also has a strong historic background. </p><p>A private vessel, high-speed ferry, or seaplane can be used to get to the Island. Dry Tortugas is America’s most </p><p>remote National Park. The largest Island is called Garden Key and is well known for America’s largest coastal </p><p>fort, Fort Jefferson. Include Dry Tortugas in your Key West tours and you won’t be disappointed.</p><p><strong>Fun things to do on a trip to Dry Tortugas:</strong></p><p><strong>Visit Fort Jefferson:</strong> Fort Jefferson was built in the 19th century to protect the southern coastline of the United </p><p>States. The entire structure is made with over 16 million handmade bricks and has six sides making the fort a </p><p>very unique historic landmark. </p><p>During the civil war the fort was used as a prison and is also known for holding the famous Dr. Samuel Mudd </p><p>for his involvement in the Lincoln murder. Every day at the fort there are my guided tours that you can join and </p><p>get to know more about the place, but if you are looking to guide yourself around and explore the fort on your </p><p>own there are a lot of signs around to help you with that.</p><p><strong>Go snorkeling: </strong>With the depth of the water ranging from 5-15 feet it makes the best place to snorkel for people </p><p>of all ages. The waters here are full of colorful tropical fish, living and dead corals, and shipwrecks all waiting </p><p>to be explored. You get a chance to swim with queen conchs, sea grass, starfish, coral heads, and vibrant </p><p>tropical fish making it an experience of a lifetime. You must keep in mind not to disturb the coral reefs or </p><p>tamper with the shipwrecks are they are all protected by the law. </p><p><strong>Relax at the beach:</strong> Your daytrip will be incomplete without you spending some time in one of the best </p><p>beaches of the Florida Keys. The white sandy beaches of Dry Tortugas are perfect for swimming, sun bathing or </p><p>just playing with your children and building sand castles. The different beaches here are South Swim Beach, </p><p>Seaplane Beach, Dinghy Beach, and North Swim Beach.</p><p><strong>Enjoy bird watching:</strong> The seven small island of Dry Tortugas is a bird watcher’s paradise. Hundreds of </p><p>migrating birds make a pit stop here on their long journey from South America to the United States. Close to </p><p>300 species of birds have been spotted on the islands, on an average spring day one can easily see around 70 </p><p>different species.</p><p><strong>Camp outdoors: </strong>Camping under the stars is always a fun thing to do and it gets better when you are on an </p><p>island 70 miles from civilization. Lie under the stars and let the mysterious sound of the ocean put you to sleep </p><p>while the warm tropical breeze comforts you.</p><p>So if you are planning a day trip on your Key West Tours make sure to look up Dry Tortugas. The sights and </p><p>sounds of the area are sure to make fall in love with it and send you back home with sweet memories to share </p><p>with your friends and family.</p><p><strong></strong><a href="http://www.keywesttours.com/" target="_blank">www.KeyWestTours.com</a></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Key West 1-Day Tour - What to See?</strong></p><p>If you are tired of your mundane life and wish to take a short break, then Key West 1 day tour seems to be your </p><p>best choice. The tour includes round-trip transportation on a comfortable motor coach. On this exciting trip, you </p><p>can widen your scope of seeing new places, shooting amazing pictures and spending about 6 hours at your </p><p>leisure. The joy of riding across 43 bridges and 31 islands to the United State’s Caribbean Islands is simply </p><p>amazing. </p><p>Once you reach Key West, the Caribbean atmosphere welcomes you with open arms. It’s a treat to watch the </p><p>street artists perform or visit the elegant outdoor cafés and restaurants. You get the opportunity to explore the </p><p>island city on your own pace. In fact, there’s so much to see and do here that often you’ll find it difficult to </p><p>make up your mind. Some of the prominent choices from where you can make a selection include: </p><p><strong>Old Town Trolley Tours </strong></p><p>Relive the glorious past of the island city on the tour, which has been highlighting Key West since 1980. With </p><p>over 12 stopovers, you may leave the driving to the trolley and get off at any or all of the stops for exploring, </p><p>shopping and dining on your own. The tour is well-narrated with vivid anecdotes and well-researched historical </p><p>facts. It takes you to several prominent points of interest within 90 minutes! </p><p><strong>Yankee Freedom III - The Official Ferry</strong></p><p>Yankee Freedom III is the official ferry of the Dry Tortugas National Park. Fort Jefferson lies at a distance of </p><p>70 miles from Key West at the Dry Tortugas National Park. It is the biggest stonework structure in the western </p><p>hemisphere. Board the ferry and travel in air conditioned comfort, relish scrumptious breakfast and lunch, rent </p><p>snorkel gear, take guided tours of the Civil War fort and spend some beautiful moments at your favorite </p><p>destination. </p><p><strong>Ghosts and Gravestone Tour</strong></p><p>Most people find Key West eccentric during the day; however after the sun goes down, the fidgety souls of the </p><p>island’s appalling past start to stir. You’ll hear their spooky tales by the professional guides as you travel </p><p>through the narrow, dark streets of Old Town. The 19th century wooden houses that you find here hold on to the </p><p>secrets of their previous inhabitants.</p><p><strong>Day Outing at Key West Aquarium</strong></p><p>Key West Aquarium is a pet-friendly destination! Hence, you and your furry best friends may tour together; and </p><p>have a great time seeing the turtles, sharks, tropical, stingrays, as well as other fish varieties found in the </p><p>incredible waters of Key West. The aquarium has delighted both visitors and pets since 1934.</p><p>Key West has all possible ingredients to keep you motivated throughout the trip. Whether you want to plan for a </p><p>same day return or wish to stay back, the island city will not disappoint you. With proper planning you can see a </p><p>major portion of this tropical paradise. We offer comprehensive tours and packages to our guests. Choose from </p><p>our tours and see Key West from a different perspective.</p><p><a href="http://www.keywesttours.com/" target="_blank">www.KeyWestTours.com</a></p>]]></description>

No one ever leaves Key West </p><p>without getting their fill of dolphins. And rightly so. There’s something very special about these beautiful </p><p>creatures. </p><p>Not only are they so beautifully shaped, they are also so playful and very intelligent. It’s such a joy to watch </p><p>them do the sky hops – those absolute joyful leaps in the air…and then splash down back again. The sight </p><p>becomes even more beautiful when it is silhouetted against the golden glow of that breathtaking Florida sunset. </p><p>Both, the bottle nosed dolphins and the spotted dolphins are a common sight on any Key West tours.</p><p><strong>Dolphins in the wild</strong></p><p>There are two species of dolphins living in the Florida Keys – the bottle-nosed dolphin and the spotted dolphin. </p><p>There are also two types of sightings – dolphins in the wild and trained dolphins in special enclosures. </p><p>Seeing dolphins in the wild is a very special experience. This is where they are free to be completely </p><p>themselves. There are many ferry operators who have a lot of experience in this field. They know all the best </p><p>spots out at sea. </p><p>They also know how to stay a sensible distance away from the dolphins. This is very important because </p><p>dolphins are very playful and so it’s not uncommon for them to come right up to the boat. Naturally, one would </p><p>feel tempted to feed them. It is illegal to feed wild dolphins. Besides, interactions with humans can unwittingly </p><p>cause a mother and her calf to get separated and this could be dangerous for the calf.</p><p>Did you know that dolphins are not fish, they are mammals? They breathe air and give birth to their young ones, </p><p>in the water. Right at birth the young ones swim to the surface to breathe and then come down to suckle at their </p><p>mother’s mammary glands. This is why it is so important that the mother and calf should not get separated.</p><p><strong>Trained dolphin shows at the theater of the sea</strong></p><p>One of world’s most famous dolphin shows takes place in the Florida Keys, at Islamorada. The internationally </p><p>reputed Theater of the Sea is located here. It was one of the first places in the world to explore the possibility of </p><p>training dolphins to perform dolphin shows.</p><p>At the Theater of the Sea, you can watch dolphins jump through hoops, dance on their tails independently or in </p><p>a perfectly orchestrated group…and perform a lot of interesting tricks. They even know how to grab a paint </p><p>brush and do a painting on a sheet of paper, for you.</p><p>They are so intelligent and bond so well with humans that they can be trained to dance with you.

			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong><u></u><u>Key West Tours</u> – Sightseeing Old Houses in Old Town</strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p>If you want to take a walk down history lane, right back to the early settlers in America, take a walking tour of </p><p>Key West’s historic Old Town district. This is where the first settlers came. In the early days, it was the Spanish </p><p>galleons that came here, because of the large stocks of drinking water – though there were wary of the sharp </p><p>coral reefs. </p><p>Later it was immigrants from the Bahamas who came seeking their fortune in the shipwrecking and turtle </p><p>canning business. The early days were rough and tough. They had to brave the fierce hurricane wind, </p><p>mosquitoes and the isolation. With their own die-hard spirit they built their lives and their homes here. Many of </p><p>them made vast fortunes in the different business here and this is reflected in the old houses and mansions you </p><p>can see as you take a walking tour of Old Town.</p><p><strong>Curry Mansion – Caroline Street </strong></p><p>William Curry was one of the first millionaires of Key West. His son Milton Curry built the grand Victorian </p><p>style mansion that is now the pride of Caroline Street. This grand 22 room mansion is now a homely 3 star inn. </p><p>Should you book a room here you will be taken back in time to the 1800, when a poor immigrant named </p><p>William Curry landed on the shores of Key West and worked hard to make his fortunes.</p><p>As you stroll through the rooms you can see beautiful, old style, furniture made from the now extinct Dade </p><p>County pine wood and other hardwood that was so popular because of its beautiful texture and ability to </p><p>withstand the test of time, as can be seen even today. </p><p>The cook-house at this mansion also has the historic recognition of being the kitchen where the first Key Lime </p><p>pie was baked, by a cook named Sally.</p><p><strong>Captain George Carey House</strong></p><p>This is probably the second oldest house in Key West. It’s a beautiful two-storey wooden house which is also </p><p>located on Caroline Street. It has an amazing history.</p><p>Drinking water as a scarce and much sought after resource by the ships that sailed past the island. Located on </p><p>the island was what was called a pirates well – a source of clean drinking water. Captain George Carey </p><p>purchased the well and built his house and a small store nearby. Here he ran a seaport bar. He sold water, and </p><p>liquor. Over time he made a fortune. </p><p>There’s also an interesting story of how he met his wife. In a shipwreck near the island. There were five </p><p>German women on that ship. Captain Carey rescued and married one of them. </p><p>After his death a woman named Jesse Porter purchased his house and renovated it. She enjoyed the whole </p><p>experience of renovations so much that she set up the Old Island Restoration Foundation – a foundation that </p><p>was responsible for rescuing and renovating many of the old houses that you see today, in Old Town. Most of </p><p>them are now museums that preserve the history and culture of Key West for posterity.</p><p>You can visit many such exciting sights on your Key West tours.

			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong><u></u><u>Key West Tours</u> – Two Popular Sightseeing Spots</strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p>Sightseeing takes on special meaning when you’re on any Key West tours. That’s because this island city has so </p><p>much to see and take in. There are so many different aspects to Key West. For instance, there’s the historic side. </p><p>It’s captured in the beautifully renovated old houses of Old Town. Then there’s the laid back happy-go-lucky </p><p>culture. To get a taste of that flavor of Key West, you need to do a Duval Street Pub crawl and spend time </p><p>roaming Mallory square at the evening Sunset festival. </p><p>Can you ignore that side of Key West that brings up bars of gold, silver and other treasure? The sea beds around </p><p>the coral reefs are strewn with sunken treasure. To get a taste of this adventure you need to go scuba diving to </p><p>all the shipwreck sites and visit the Mel Fischer museum. </p><p>Then there’s the modern day Key West. The city has evolved and developed into an ultra-modern American city </p><p>with all the latest amenities. The luxury resorts here are amongst the best in the world. So are the many </p><p>beautiful marinas scattered around the islands.</p><p>The Key West aquarium captures both, the old world Key West and its modern avatar. Here you get to come up </p><p>close with the iconic marine life of these islands (the way the early settlers did), in a safe and convenient </p><p>environment where even little kids can touch and feel the exhibits…thanks to advances in knowledge and </p><p>modern technologies. </p><p>The Ripley’s Believe-it-or-not Odditorium is another popular sight-seeing spot. It complements the awe-</p><p>inspiring spirit of this chain of island that was founded by immigrants who had a die-had, believe-it-or not (we </p><p>can do this) spirit.</p><p>On your Key West tours, make it a point to visit the Key West Aquarium and the Ripley’s Believe-it-or-not </p><p>Odditorium. </p><p><strong>Key West Aquarium</strong></p><p>The Aquarium is located in Mallory Square. It was opened way back in 1933 and over the years it has grown. </p><p>With the use of modern technologies it now offers fantastic displays that allow visitors to actually touch and </p><p>feel the marine life.</p><p>That’s what the ‘Touch Tank’ here is all about. Here, you can pick up a conch shell, turn it over and watch the </p><p>crab crawl shyly back inside. Did you know that the original inhabitants of Key West called themselves </p><p>Conchs? Their staple diet was these crabs, so if you haven’t tasted Conch fritters then you haven’t really had a </p><p>real Key West tour. The other exhibits you can lift and touch are the Sea Urchins, Sea cucumbers, Horseshoe </p><p>crabs, and the Giant Hermit crab.</p><p>At the Aquarium you can also feed the sting rays and watch 4 species of sea turtles, up close at the turtle </p><p>conservatory. There are lobsters and a wide variety of tropical fish also on display here.</p><p><strong>Ripley’s believe-it-or-not Odditorium</strong></p><p>This place can truly be called an Odditorium. All of the display here will make you wonder whether you should </p><p>really believe-it-or-not. Imagine shrunken head and rare animal skeletons. It all starts with a man-eating shark </p><p>that welcomes you, in the lobby. And an 8 ft statue of the pirate-captain sparrow. </p><p>There are so many different sides to Key West, you could miss out an important aspect if you don’t plan your </p><p>Key West tours well.

And this scenic drive shows you one of the </p><p>best bridges, i.e. the Seven Mile Bridge. When you reach Key West, you have about six hours to spend and </p><p>explore the top highlights of the city. Some of the popular tours to Key West that you can enjoy are as follows: </p><p><strong>Sunset Tour:</strong> Picture yourself amidst the blue green ocean! Board a comfortable catamaran and sail across the </p><p>flawless Key West waters. The sunset cruise departs from the Key West’s Historic Seaport and you’ll literally </p><p>enjoy your journey to Mallory Square.

The tour departs from Key West’s Historic Seaport and promises a </p><p>fantastic time on your vacation. </p><p><strong>Parasailing Tour:</strong> You don’t always need prior experience in order to do something exciting. For instance, even </p><p>if you don’t have an idea about parasailing, you can still soar above the sky and get a bird’s eye view of the </p><p>island city. Board a luxury boat that is known for its state-of-the-art facilities.

			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Travel Miami to Key West in Serenity and Simplicity</strong></p><p>When in Key West, you’ll be in dilemma with its two schools of thought. The first considers the island city to</p><p>be extremely commercial while the second tags it as pretty informal. However, most locals as well as </p><p>vacationers consider it to be an amalgamation of two odds. </p><p>If you are traveling from Miami to Key West, then you are fortunate enough to taste the best of both the worlds. </p><p>While the sweetness of Miami entices you to indulge in various enthralling activities, a spicy Key West tour is </p><p>no less tempting. </p><p><strong>What to See in Miami? </strong></p><p>Whether you want to enjoy an authentic Cuban breakfast or explore the Magic City’s legendary museums and </p><p>historical monuments such as the Freedom Tower, you’ll get a taste of everything when in Miami. </p><p>The historic buildings in Coral Gables such as Coral Gables Merrick House, Vizcaya Museum &amp; Gardens, </p><p>Country Club of Coral Gables Historic District, Coral Gables Art Cinema, Coral Gables City Hall, John M. </p><p>Stabile Building, and Coral Gables Museum are a treat to watch. You may also take a double decker bus tour </p><p>and see Miami from an altogether different perspective. </p><p>When done with your Miami tour, move onto your next destination, i.e. Key West. </p><p><strong>What to See on Your Visit to Key West? </strong></p><p>Start your trip from Duval Street; take a few steps and the first thing that you’ll notice is the Hard Rock Café. </p><p>Walk a little further and you can see hundreds of cruise-ship passengers descending on Mallory Square. For a </p><p>laid back feel, try dropping by an art gallery, hip hangout joints in Bahama Village or some clothing-optional </p><p>bars. The calm and tranquil waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic all around are an icing on the cake. </p><p><strong>Key West for Party Enthusiasts</strong></p><p>Duval Street; the heart of town is a unique destination for party lovers. Loud music, stale beer and scarcely shy </p><p>revelers are enough to keep you hooked on for the rest of the trip. And then, there are fun bars, popular </p><p>restaurants, rickshaw rides, live music and loads of shopping acts to add galore to your tour. </p><p><strong>Gays and Key West</strong></p><p>Believe it or not, but then, Key West is very gay-centric. On your visit to this beautiful island city, you can spot </p><p>same-sex couples walking hand in hand. And if you aren’t quite comfortable to these scenes, then just turn </p><p>around and look for the ubiquitous multihued flag hanging outside gay institutions and you'll know what to </p><p>expect.</p><p><strong>How to Reach Key West from Miami? </strong></p><p>There are plenty of choices if you are traveling from Miami. For instance, you may take a road trip to this island </p><p>city. If time is a constraint on your part, then you may also take a flight to Key West. Besides, there are shuttles, </p><p>car rentals and buses that take you to and from Miami to Key West. </p><p>For an amazing journey, we are only a call away. Bank on our tours and packages and spot the difference!</p><p><a href="http://www.KeyWestTours.com" target="_blank">www.KeyWestTours.com</a></p>]]></description>

However, most locals as well as </p><p>vacationers consider it to be an amalgamation of two odds. </p><p>If you are traveling from Miami to Key West, then you are fortunate enough to taste the best of both the worlds. </p><p>While the sweetness of Miami entices you to indulge in various enthralling activities, a spicy Key West tour is </p><p>no less tempting. </p><p><strong>What to See in Miami? </strong></p><p>Whether you want to enjoy an authentic Cuban breakfast or explore the Magic City’s legendary museums and </p><p>historical monuments such as the Freedom Tower, you’ll get a taste of everything when in Miami. </p><p>The historic buildings in Coral Gables such as Coral Gables Merrick House, Vizcaya Museum &amp; Gardens, </p><p>Country Club of Coral Gables Historic District, Coral Gables Art Cinema, Coral Gables City Hall, John M. </p><p>Stabile Building, and Coral Gables Museum are a treat to watch. You may also take a double decker bus tour </p><p>and see Miami from an altogether different perspective. </p><p>When done with your Miami tour, move onto your next destination, i.e. Key West. </p><p><strong>What to See on Your Visit to Key West? </strong></p><p>Start your trip from Duval Street; take a few steps and the first thing that you’ll notice is the Hard Rock Café. </p><p>Walk a little further and you can see hundreds of cruise-ship passengers descending on Mallory Square. For a </p><p>laid back feel, try dropping by an art gallery, hip hangout joints in Bahama Village or some clothing-optional </p><p>bars. The calm and tranquil waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic all around are an icing on the cake. </p><p><strong>Key West for Party Enthusiasts</strong></p><p>Duval Street; the heart of town is a unique destination for party lovers. Loud music, stale beer and scarcely shy </p><p>revelers are enough to keep you hooked on for the rest of the trip. And then, there are fun bars, popular </p><p>restaurants, rickshaw rides, live music and loads of shopping acts to add galore to your tour. </p><p><strong>Gays and Key West</strong></p><p>Believe it or not, but then, Key West is very gay-centric. On your visit to this beautiful island city, you can spot </p><p>same-sex couples walking hand in hand. And if you aren’t quite comfortable to these scenes, then just turn </p><p>around and look for the ubiquitous multihued flag hanging outside gay institutions and you'll know what to </p><p>expect.</p><p><strong>How to Reach Key West from Miami? </strong></p><p>There are plenty of choices if you are traveling from Miami. For instance, you may take a road trip to this island </p><p>city. If time is a constraint on your part, then you may also take a flight to Key West. Besides, there are shuttles, </p><p>car rentals and buses that take you to and from Miami to Key West. </p><p>For an amazing journey, we are only a call away. Bank on our tours and packages and spot the difference!</p><p><a href="http://www.KeyWestTours.com" target="_blank">www.KeyWestTours.com</a></p>]]></content:encoded>
