Transportation

Start your eco-friendly journey on the right foot—or wheel! With Flixbus, glide through the Florida Keys, knowing that your carbon footprint is as light as your spirits. This isn’t just travel; it’s a statement of care for our planet. Or park and embrace the freedom of Key West Park N’ Ride, your green access pass to the vibrant life of the Keys. Hop aboard The Duval Loop Bus for a breezy ride to Key West’s hottest attractions—foolproof fun without the ecological footprint. Are you wanting a bit of fitness with your fun? Renting bikes offers the perfect blend of exploration and exercise, making every pedal an effort towards a healthier planet. And for those quick jaunts, Five 6’s Hybrid Taxi is your go-to for speedy, green transportation. Every choice here embodies the beauty of moving mindfully through the world.

Things to Do

The Florida Keys are a treasure trove of eco-adventures waiting to unfold. Start with a heartwarming visit to The Turtle Hospital, where compassion meets conservation, and every interaction is a lesson in love for our reptilian pals. Glide through the serene waterways on the Key West Mangrove Eco Tour, where the whispers of nature speak volumes about the beauty of our ecosystems. At the Dolphin Research Center, dance with dolphins in an environment that respects the animals and people in it. And don’t miss the untamed exuberance of the Crane Point Museum & Nature Center—a vibrant testament to the wilderness that thrives when we fully appreciate and protect it. These experiences are not just activities; they’re chapters in the story of our coexistence with nature.

Protecting the Area

Dive deeply into your Florida Keys adventure with a heart committed to safeguarding these natural wonders. Say no to plastic, embracing alternatives that leave the ocean as shimmering and unspoiled as the dream it represents. Lather up with biodegradable sunscreen before each sun-soaked outing, ensuring our coral friends can thrive for generations to come. Approach each marine encounter with the gentleness of a guardian, respecting the delicate balance that sustains aquatic life. And let your taste buds experience a journey of responsible indulgence with sustainable seafood options—a delicious tribute to the ocean’s bounty. Every choice we make sends ripples through the ecosystem, building a legacy of preservation and love.
