Itinerary
While you’re in port in Key West, hop on the Conch Tour Train for a trip around the southernmost island in the archipelago that is one of America’s finest jewels. The train will take you on a ride through Key West’s past – go back to the days before civilization, when fierce Native Americans left their enemy's bones to bleach in a tropical wilderness, naming the island Bone Key. Hear about bold Spanish explorers, brave “wreckers,” great cigar barons and sponge magnets. Get to know characters like John James Audubon, Ernest Hemingway and Harry S Truman and, like them, become captivated by Key West’s magic. Please note: This excursion is located within a 10-minute walk to the cruise port so you determine the time you return to your ship in Key West. Please allow yourself ample time to enjoy the excursion and ensure your timely return to the port. This excursion is not covered by our Worry-free policy.

Good Tour
Saw many Key West sites. The guide was very knowledgeable.
Great boat ride and warm water snorkeling
Fun 3 hours of cruising time and 1 hour of snorkeling. Really nice boat. Riding on the boat was comfortable with a toilet as well. Staff provides excellent service.
Conch Tour Train March 2026
The tour was very informative and brought us to many of the important spots around Key West that we wanted to see. The length of the tour was good for the price we paid. The tour guide was from Key West and was able to provide recommendations for how to get to the places we wanted to see after the tour. Our only reason for rating 4/5 is because we hopped the tour would be hop on and hop off at the locations. We had to walk over a mile from the tour ending point to the southernmost point buoy.
