    Mia to K west

    A great trip. Even though the journey is 4 hours. The scenery and our host Lewis made the time pass by very quickly. Key west is stunning and has enough to fill the 6 hours you are there. Our driver Milton was also fantastic and made sure the journey was as quick as possible

    Day Trip

    Great opportunity to spend some time in Key West and see scenic Route 1. You also get plenty of time to do more than one activity or sight.

    Bus was filthy

    This tour basically just provides the transportation from Miami to Key West, which is fine but the bus was filthy. I can honestly say that I have never been in a dirtier bus anywhere in the world. There was a hand written sign in the front of the bus that states that the front row seats on the upper deck cost an additional $20 per person. Yes, those seats provide better views. I can understand that . But the windshield was filthy, full of stains, streaks and dried bird poop. One cannot get a nice view nor can one take a good photo through the window. Not only that, the seats had food crumbs on them and the surrounding areas are filthy, full of stains, dirt, and the cup holders were wet with some kind of liquid inside. It was gross. I strongly suspect that the guide just put the extra charge sign up just to make himself and may be the driver a few extra bucks. I wonder if the company even knows about this. The guide also spent a lot of time selling tickets to various activities in Key West. BTW, the hop on/ hop off trolly ride , at $60+ per person was a rip off. The guide also mentioned 3 times during the bus ride that we should tip him and the driver and even suggested the percentage of the tip. All this felt really sleazy. A tip is an expression of an appreciation for a job well done and it’s called a gratuity, meaning it should be gratuitous and not to be aggressively solicited. But the filthy condition of the bus is what kept me from taking a Viator tour again. I understand these providers are sub contractors but Viator should vet them more carefully. A negative experience ruins Viator’s good reputation.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. However, after reviewing your comments and our notes, we can confirm that you did not travel with our company. It appears you mistakenly boarded a yellow double-decker bus operated by another company (Key West Express). For this reason, we are not responsible for the issues you experienced. Sorry about the inconvenience.

    Time in Key West

    We had a great time in Key west but be aware you are not getting to enjoy key west for a full 6 hours it’s more like 5/ 51/2 hours. But we got to do something’s that we didn’t get to do on our last visit.

    Being driven there and back was awesome.

    Got picked up a few minutes after 7:30am from the hotel. Paid an extra $40 for roundtrip first class seats. Upstairs first row. Best view going and coming. I've made multiple trips to the keys, driving myself, but this was the first time I was able to relax and pay attention to the views. I'd recommend it highly to anyone wanting to go to key west for the day.

    Miami to Key West Day Trip Transportation: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Miami.

    How much does Miami to Key West Day Trip Transportation cost?

    +

    Prices start at $49 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Miami usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Miami to Key West Day Trip Transportation take?

    +

    Plan for about 15 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Miami is not rushed.

    Is Miami to Key West Day Trip Transportation worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 211 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Miami, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Miami to Key West Day Trip Transportation?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Miami to Key West Day Trip Transportation suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 15-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Miami to Key West Day Trip Transportation?

    +

    Around 74 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Miami can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Miami and add a light layer if any part of the 15-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Miami to Key West Day Trip Transportation start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Miami within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Miami?

    +

    Miami splits between the water and the neighbourhoods. Biscayne Bay boat tours, Key Biscayne snorkelling and Everglades airboats cover the first, while Wynwood mural walks, Little Havana food crawls and South Beach deco tours cover the second. We rank Everglades operators carefully: many depart from Miami but the good ones run their own boats rather than reselling seats. On Outty we rank every Miami experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2 hrs Miami Private Boat with Cooler, Ice, Bluetooth Stereo, Little Havana Food and Walking Tour in Miami, Miami: 2 Hour Private Yacht Cruise. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Miami?

    +

    November to April, dry season, before hurricane and humidity months. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Miami?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
