A wonderful seated and covered opportunity to check out Key West. Kenny was very knowledgeable, a true saltwater conch, and a veteran to boot. Really enjoyed his commentary!

Itinerary
While you’re in port in Key West, hop on the Conch Tour Train for a trip around the southernmost island in the archipelago that is one of America’s finest jewels. The train will take you on a ride through Key West’s past – go back to the days before civilization, when fierce Native Americans left their enemy's bones to bleach in a tropical wilderness, naming the island Bone Key. Hear about bold Spanish explorers, brave “wreckers,” great cigar barons and sponge magnets. Get to know characters like John James Audubon, Ernest Hemingway and Harry S Truman and, like them, become captivated by Key West’s magic. Please note: This excursion is located within a 10-minute walk to the cruise port so you determine the time you return to your ship in Key West. Please allow yourself ample time to enjoy the excursion and ensure your timely return to the port. This excursion is not covered by our Worry-free policy.

Go on the tour!!
The tour was great…..the guide Patrick was very informative. We had a couple hours to kill before boarding our ferry back to Fort Myers and was a perfect choice. Fun for all ages…..I would recommend…..would have liked to done the Ghost tour also.

an exceptional, expert-engineered overview of the island city vibrant history
When travellers staying with us at Kawama Tower 406 plan a day trip down to Key West, we always recommend combining the historic Conch Tour Train with the famous Mallory Square Sunset Celebration. The Conch Tour Train offers an exceptional, expert-engineered overview of the island city vibrant history since 1958. Afterwards, head to historic Mallory Square along the deep harbor waterfront. The nightly sunset celebration comes alive with live street performers, local boutique craft shopping, and a vibrant community atmosphere that serves as the perfect conclusion to a Key West excursion before returning north to the peaceful sanctuary of the Kawama Yacht Club.

Conch train with Kenny! Yay!
We paid $90 for two. It was open air ride but covered so the we were in the shade. Kenny was wonderful! As a 75 year old native of Key West, he was a wealth of knowledge and shared so much history. We never would have gotten this info just walking around. We made one stop on the tour for shopping and CLEAN restrooms. We will definitely do this tour again. Well worth the money!

Conch Tour Train March 2026
The tour was very informative and brought us to many of the important spots around Key West that we wanted to see. The length of the tour was good for the price we paid. The tour guide was from Key West and was able to provide recommendations for how to get to the places we wanted to see after the tour. Our only reason for rating 4/5 is because we hopped the tour would be hop on and hop off at the locations. We had to walk over a mile from the tour ending point to the southernmost point buoy.
