3 Key West Tours You Can't Miss
by Christine OKelly
If you're the type of traveler who likes to get to know your surroundings, then the idea of taking a tour in this tropical locale is probably a welcome suggestion. Touring the island, its attractions, and its locations will help you get acquainted with the city, its history, and all that there is to do and see during your stay.
Key West tours are a great idea for families and friends who want to experience the island for all it is worth. From seeing the undersea world by snorkeling or scuba diving to checking out the haunts of Hemingway and Tennessee Williams, you will never be short of options when you take Key West tours.
Snorkel Around A Great Reef
Few things are as tied to the image of this vacation destination than snorkeling. Those who take on the challenge to snorkel on the island are truly adventurous individuals. For their effort and bravery, they are rewarded with some truly amazing and breathtaking sights. From beautiful exotic fish and diverse plant life to one of the world's largest living reefs, tours of the living reef are a sight for anyone's eyes.
Perhaps what makes snorkeling such a popular sport on the island, is that it doesn't take any special training to enjoy it. Unlike scuba diving, there is no certification course and no extra money to be spent on classes and books. Kids and adults of any age and skill level can take to the water and explore the life beneath its surface.
Get Deeper By Scuba Diving
Scuba Diving is like snorkeling's big brother. It is more advanced and requires coursework and certification to attempt. The time invested is well worth it as scuba diving will show you even more of the undersea world than snorkeling ever could.
Because they can stay underwater for long periods of time, divers get to explore much more of the ocean floor. This gives them a view of the underwater world that few people ever get to experience as they interact with the life under the sea and explore different areas on the sea floor, from sunken ships to the great living reef.
It is important to note that scuba diving does require certification and a recent dive before they can dive here. If you are a little rusty or haven't been diving in a while, it is encouraged that you would greatly benefit from a refresher course.
Keep Your Feet Firmly Planted
If water isn't your thing, there are still plenty of great tours for you to enjoy. From a bar crawl or a cruise to a trip to the island's most haunted areas for a ghost story or a trip around the city chronicling the lives of two of the island's most famous residents, Hemingway and Williams, there are plenty of great tours that don't require a change of clothes.
