Overview

With your friendly & knowledgeable tour guide, this half day sightseeing tour of the Florida Keys promises to amaze you! During your Up The Keys Nature Tour, you’ll learn the history, culture, and ecology of the Florida Keys, listen to island music, & enjoy the breathtaking scenery! Your excursion begins with a stop at the National Key Deer Refuge, a home for the endangered Key Deer that are indigenous to the Florida Keys. On your Key Deer Safari, we will look for the deer and photograph them. As most of these Key Deer have become accustomed to human interaction, they will often walk right up to our guests! After spending some time with these adorable creatures on your safari, your tour guide will also take you to see the Blue Hole where you will be able to spot local wildlife such as alligators, a variety of fish, turtles and more. The last stop on your Florida Keys journey is at the Bahia Honda State Park where you can dip your toes in both the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean! Our Florida Keys nature tour promises an engaging road trip style excursion filled with interesting wildlife, stunning views, great island music, and good times!

The famous Key Deer are wild, indigenous to the Florida Keys, endangered, and are the smallest species of deer in North America! This species of deer live primarily on Big Pine Key, 100 miles from mainland Florida, and they swim from island to island! The Key Deer Refuge serves as a place for this endangered species to live and have free-range. Many of the deer are not afraid of humans and will often curiously approach our guests, providing once in a lifetime photo opportunities!


About The Blue Hole


The Blue Hole is unique as it features layered water, meaning the bottom layer is saltwater, and the top is freshwater. This freshwater oasis attracts an abundance of wildlife that is unique to the Florida Keys, making it the perfect spot for nature and wildlife enthusiasts. Tour guests will have the opportunity to marvel at the alligators, a variety of fish & birds, and other animals that call this island ecosystem their home! 

About Bahia Honda State Park

Have you ever thought you would dip your toes in the Atlantic Ocean & the Gulf of Mexico on the same day? With an Up The Keys guide, stop by the Bahia Honda State Park to experience a narrow island featuring white-sandy beaches, stunning crystal-clear water, and a wide variety of interesting birds & flora. Tour guests can walk onto a historic railroad bridge for beautiful views of the Florida Keys and a scenic photo opportunity. We'll also make a stop at the Butterfly Garden that is known for attracting a wide variety of creatures!
