The road trip down the Keys on the Overseas Highway is among the most scenic in the country, crossing 31 islands and 43 bridges with the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico nearly always in sight.

A tour of the Overseas Highway offers many captivating sights, but there is one outstanding feature that every guest on our Miami to Key West Day Trip looks forward to – the world-famous Seven Mile Bridge.
