And now we have recommendations for what to do on our next rip down. This was super informative and entertaining! Thanks!

Stop At: Florida KeysFloridaAs the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route(s) to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi-day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed belowDuration: 5 hoursStop At: Bahia Honda State Park36850 Overseas Hwy, Big Pine Key, FloridaThe Bahia Honda State Park is rightly considered the best beach in the Florida Keys and ranks in the top 10 of all beaches in the USA. On a nice warm day, this is absolutely a recommended stop for a cooling swim or even just to get some sand and water between your toes.Duration: 1 hourStop At: Anne's BeachFloridaOne of the Key's nicest beaches on the Lower Matecumbe Key. There's 300 feet of newly replaced boardwalk that provides access to different areas of the beach where the water is almost always, warm, clear, and calm. Even a worthwhile stop for a photo if you don't feel like swimming.Duration: 20 minutesStop At: The Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum907 Whitehead Street, Key West, FloridaLocated in the heart of Old Town Key West, lies the Ernest Hemingway House and Museum. America's iconic author called Key West his home for 10 years. Tour inside the house and gardens to learn more about his books, 4 wives, and children and see the 40 polydactyl cats that are descendants of his famous white six-toed cat, Snow White.Duration: 1 hourStop At: National Key Deer Refuge30587 Overseas Hwy, , Big Pine Key, FloridaThe tiny endangered Key Deer are now found exclusively in the Florida Keys. They are good swimmers, perhaps allowing them to survive hurricanes like Irma. Today, vehicle collisions are the number one threat, so you'll see slow driving zones to help protect them, especially around Big Pine Key.Duration: Not AvailableStop At: Key WestKey West, FloridaYou might be surprised to learn the vibrant town of Key West was once the largest city in all of Florida. Being only 90 miles from Cuba and on major shipping routes from South America, Key West is a unique fusion of American, Cuban and Latino cultures. The architecture is beautifully stylish. The streets are lively and there are quite a few recommended places to visit on this compact island. Duration: 4 hoursStop At: John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park102601 Overseas Highway, FloridaWhy should Parks just preserve what is on land? The John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park was the first in the US to be designated as an undersea park. It covers about 70 nautical square miles with terrain ranging from mangrove swamps to shallow-water coral and deep-sea reefs, ideal for scuba diving. Visitors to the park can snorkel with multitudes of fish while exploring the Christ of the Deep Statue and even the remnants of an old Spanish shipwreck.Duration: 2 hoursStop At: Pigeon Key1090 Overseas Hwy, Marathon, FloridaThe tiny 5 acre Pigeon Key played a pivotal role for railroad workers building the final stages of the Florida East Coast Railway's Overseas Railway project, which would connect passengers from New York to Key West, and even continue by boat to Havana, without ever leaving the carriage. The Old Seven Mile Bridge passed right through the island which served as worker's homes and camp. After taking a battering after Hurricane Irma, bridge reconstruction continues for those hoping to walk to Pigeon Key once again. Access currently is by short ferry boat ride starting from the visitor center in Marathon, and is an added bonus.Duration: 1 hourStop At: Seven Mile BridgeMile Marker 47, Overseas Hwy, Marathon, FloridaSeven Mile Bridge is the longest of the bridges on the Overseas Highway. You will truly feel like you are floating over the water. It's a great, interesting photo stop, especially from the Marathon side. We will catch views of the historically significant Pigeon Key from the bridge as we drive by.Duration: Not AvailableStop At: Old Seven Mile BridgeFlorida State Road A1A, US Rte. 1/ Overseas Hwy, Marathon, FloridaRecently re-opened for walking, biking, and fishingDuration: Not AvailableStop At: The Turtle Hospital2396 Overseas Hwy, Marathon, FloridaThe world's first dedicated Turtle Hospital was created on Marathon, by converting an old motel. Turtles who have been rescued from boat collisions, plastic bags and more are brought to the hospital to be treated and in most cases, ultimately released back into the ocean.Duration: 1 hourStop At: Key LargoKey Largo, FloridaThe longest of the Florida Keys and the first Key we will arrive on when leaving the USA mainland. 3 of the most popular stops on Key Largo are the Caribbean Club, John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and the African Queen. Two of these locations have had Hollywood inspiration. Divers and even snorkelers will find many interesting features to explore in the clear, warm waters.Duration: 1 hourAdditional Information

We had a great day driving from Key Largo to Key West. The stories and suggested stops made for a great day with lots of pictures and stops we wouldn't have known to take.

This audio tour was informational and entertaining on our drive up the keys from Key West. Made the drive very enjoyable!

We drove from Boca Raton to key West. The narrator popped up every mile or so with some interesting things in the area. We actually listened to it coming and going. Plan to use this with other trips.

The audio tour was outstanding: highly informative and very entertaining. Prompted me to make a number of rewarding (but unplanned) stops along the way ... for great photo ops and for fascinating sights.
