Key West Experiences

Whether this is your first trip to Key West or you’re a regular visitor, chances are you’re looking for at least one ultimate vacation experience. With hundreds of available excursions, on both land and sea, it can be overwhelming to sort through blogs, guidebooks and websites to decide with confidence what to do. We believe the key to having that next great “wow” experience, is by taking an excursion with a local Key West resident as your guide.

As locals ourselves, VHKW staff work together with select local island businesses who offer specialized Key West Experiences. We hand-pick the experiences we promote, take the excursions ourselves, and select activities that we believe offer an authentic local experience. Contact us directly for more information and to make a reservation.

Ultimate Key West Beach Guide

Key West beaches provide a wonderful opportunity to experience first-hand Caribbean style coral reef beaches. This is because Key West and the Florida Keys are flat coral islands, the top remnants of former coral reefs. Key West beaches are similar to The Bahamas, with white sand, coral rocks, and shallow turquoise water with tropical fish right off shore. Think Caribbean Beach Vacation. Our Ultimate Key West Beach Guide will help you to plan your beach days.
