Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Board Key West's legendary 1925 wooden schooner for a two-hour sunset sail through the Gulf-Atlantic confluence. Watch the sky ignite over the Straits of Florida from a classic tall ship—a true bucket-list moment.
Fly 70 miles into the open Straits of Florida aboard a seaplane, land on turquoise water beside Fort Jefferson, and snorkel reefs that see fewer visitors in a year than most museums see in a day.
Pole silently across the mirrored flats of the Florida Keys backcountry with a USCG-licensed guide in pursuit of permit, bonefish and tarpon — the 'Holy Trinity' of fly-fishing. This is as bucket-list as saltwater angling gets.
Glide through the crystalline shallows of Bahia Honda — rated Florida's most beautiful beach — by kayak, then snorkel one of the healthiest nearshore reefs in the Keys on a private small-group guided experience.
Step inside the Spanish Colonial mansion where Hemingway wrote some of the 20th century's greatest novels, with a private after-hours guide who unlocks the stories behind the man, the myths, and the legendary six-toed cats.
Dine beneath the banyan trees in the open-air garden where Hemingway once refereed boxing matches — Blue Heaven's legendary brunch is the most atmospheric table in all of Key West, and a rite of passage for any discerning visitor.
