8 days in Key West Itinerary

Located just 140 km (90 mi) from Cuba, Key West is an island only about 6.4 km (4 mi) long and 1.6 km (1 mi) wide.

Get outdoors at Fort Zachary Taylor and Dolphin & Whale Watching. Change things up with a short trip to National Key Deer Refuge in Big Pine Key (about 50 minutes away). Spend the 11th (Sat) airborne with a parasailing or paragliding tour. Spend the 13th (Mon) exploring nature at Dry Tortugas National Park. And it doesn't end there: look for all kinds of wild species at Key West Butterfly & Nature Conservatory, take an in-depth tour of Truman Little White House, get interesting insight from Tours, and find your balance on the water with some of the best stand-up paddleboarding in the area.
