Florida Keys

300 minutes here
Bahia Honda State Park
The Bahia Honda State Park is rightly considered the best beach in the Florida Keys and ranks in the top 10 of all beaches in the USA. On a nice warm day, this is absolutely a recommended stop for a cooling swim or even just to get some sand and water between your toes.
60 minutes here · Admission not included
Anne's Beach
One of the Key's nicest beaches on the Lower Matecumbe Key. There's 300 feet of newly replaced boardwalk that provides access to different areas of the beach where the water is almost always, warm, clear, and calm. Even a worthwhile stop for a photo if you don't feel like swimming.
20 minutes here
The Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum
Located in the heart of Old Town Key West, lies the Ernest Hemingway House and Museum. America's iconic author called Key West his home for 10 years. Tour inside the house and gardens to learn more about his books, 4 wives, and children and see the 40 polydactyl cats that are descendants of his famous white six-toed cat, Snow White.
60 minutes here · Admission not included
National Key Deer Refuge
The tiny endangered Key Deer are now found exclusively in the Florida Keys. They are good swimmers, perhaps allowing them to survive hurricanes like Irma. Today, vehicle collisions are the number one threat, so you'll see slow driving zones to help protect them, especially around Big Pine Key.
Pass by without stopping
Key West
You might be surprised to learn the vibrant town of Key West was once the largest city in all of Florida. Being only 90 miles from Cuba and on major shipping routes from South America, Key West is a unique fusion of American, Cuban and Latino cultures. The architecture is beautifully stylish. The streets are lively and there are quite a few recommended places to visit on this compact island.
240 minutes here
John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park
Why should Parks just preserve what is on land? The John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park was the first in the US to be designated as an undersea park. It covers about 70 nautical square miles with terrain ranging from mangrove swamps to shallow-water coral and deep-sea reefs, ideal for scuba diving. Visitors to the park can snorkel with multitudes of fish while exploring the Christ of the Deep Statue and even the remnants of an old Spanish shipwreck.
120 minutes here · Admission not included
Pigeon Key
The tiny 5 acre Pigeon Key played a pivotal role for railroad workers building the final stages of the Florida East Coast Railway's Overseas Railway project, which would connect passengers from New York to Key West, and even continue by boat to Havana, without ever leaving the carriage. The Old Seven Mile Bridge passed right through the island which served as worker's homes and camp. After taking a battering after Hurricane Irma, bridge reconstruction continues for those hoping to walk to Pigeon Key once again. Access currently is by short ferry boat ride starting from the visitor center in Marathon, and is an added bonus.
60 minutes here · Admission not included
Seven Mile Bridge
Seven Mile Bridge is the longest of the bridges on the Overseas Highway. You will truly feel like you are floating over the water. It's a great, interesting photo stop, especially from the Marathon side. We will catch views of the historically significant Pigeon Key from the bridge as we drive by.

The Turtle Hospital
The world's first dedicated Turtle Hospital was created on Marathon, by converting an old motel. Turtles who have been rescued from boat collisions, plastic bags and more are brought to the hospital to be treated and in most cases, ultimately released back into the ocean.
60 minutes here · Admission not included
Key Largo
The longest of the Florida Keys and the first Key we will arrive on when leaving the USA mainland. 3 of the most popular stops on Key Largo are the Caribbean Club, John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and the African Queen. Two of these locations have had Hollywood inspiration. Divers and even snorkelers will find many interesting features to explore in the clear, warm waters.

Enjoyable travel guide
Very entertaining and informative
Response from the operator: Hi there - it’s great to know the Florida Keys tour gave you plenty to hear the whole drive! If more road trips are in your plans, we offer many self-guided tours across the US and Canada, all with lifetime access. We hope to join you on the road again soon!
via Tripadvisor
Not terribly helpful
We have done many of these audio guides for driving tours on your own. This was one of the least helpful. It didn’t really give you good ideas of where to stop or what you were gonna see.
Response from the operator: Hi Anne, could you let us know which parts felt unclear or where you were hoping for more stop suggestions? Our team would really appreciate the details so we can help you troubleshoot what went wrong! Just get in touch via call, chat, or email!

Definately worth it
The self guide tour was very informative. It provided good commentary and information along the route and possible place to stop or visit. We used the tour from Key West to Key Largo and back and the in downtown Key Largo for information regarding places to see in Key West and their exact location. I was not sure if a self-guided tour would be that good but i was surprised by it's accuracy and narration. I would definitely recommend this tour and would consider purchasing other tours in the future.
Response from the operator: Hi Mary, thanks for taking our Florida Keys audio tour. We’re glad the commentary, route details, stop suggestions, and location information made your drive from Key West to Key Largo and back more enjoyable. It’s great to hear that the accuracy and narration were a pleasant surprise, and we truly appreciate the recommendation. We hope to join you on the road again soon!

Great tour, bad food recommendations .
The tour was super helpful with clear driving directions and narrator was great. The restaurant recommendations not so much. The Sunset grill may have been good in the past but our experience with four different meals was not good. While the patio was nice, the food quality was very poor. Hopefully that recommendation will be removed from the itinerary.
Response from the operator: Hi, thank you for taking our Florida Keys audio tour and for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the clear directions and narration, and we’re sorry the restaurant recommendation fell short. We’ll have our team review it for a possible itinerary update. We hope to join you on the road again soon!

Great purchase
I've never purchased an audio tour before, but it was money well spent. It took a few minutes to get set-up (not very tech-savvy), but we figured it out. The narrator was entertaining and we were impressed the landmarks for directions were still in place. It made the long drive very entertaining and we learned a lot about the history of the area, sites, and restaurants. (Sunset Grill by the 7-mile bridge was great and breath-taking views)
Response from the operator: Hi Jackie, thanks for taking our Florida Keys audio tour. We’re glad it felt worth it for your first audio tour and that the narration, directions, history, and local stops made the long drive more enjoyable. We’re happy you got everything set up, and our Support Team is available daily from 9 AM to 6 PM EST if questions ever come up before or during a tour. We hope to join you on the road again soon!

Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour in Florida Keys: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Miami.
How much does Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour in Florida Keys cost?
+
Prices start at $20 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 Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour in Florida Keys take?
+
Plan for about 24 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 Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour in Florida Keys worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 102 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 Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour in Florida Keys?
+
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 Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour in Florida Keys suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour in Florida Keys?
+
Around 36 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 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour in Florida Keys 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-Hour Miami Private Boat Tour: Skyline & Star Island, The Official Art Deco Walking Tour by The Miami Design Preservation League, Little Havana Food and Walking Tour in Miami. 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.
What is included in Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour in Florida Keys?
+

+
