What Should a Group Know About a Florida Keys Day Trip by Bus?
A Florida Keys day trip runs down the 113-mile Overseas Highway (US-1), which crosses 42 bridges from Key Largo to Key West; Key Largo is the practical day-trip turnaround from South Florida, while Key West is about 159 miles from Miami International Airport.
How do the US-1 mile markers work?
Mile markers count down from 113 at the Miami-Dade and Monroe County line to 0 in Key West, so the numbers fall as the bus drives south. Most Keys addresses are given by mile marker, which makes them the easiest way to tell the driver where each stop is. Source: media.visitfloridakeys.com.
Is the Seven Mile Bridge really seven miles?
No. The modern Seven Mile Bridge at Marathon opened in 1982 and is 6.79 miles, nearly 36,000 feet, long. A renovated 2.2-mile section of the Old Seven Mile Bridge is open for walking, biking and fishing and leads to Pigeon Key, a 5-acre historic railroad work camp, which makes a good stretch break on a longer itinerary.

Why is the road considered historic?
The highway follows Henry Flagler's Over-Sea Railroad, whose first train reached Key West in 1912. In 2009 the Federal Highway Administration named it the first All-American Road in Florida and the United States. Source: visitfloridakeys.com.
Is Key West realistic as a one-day bus trip?
It is a long day. Key West is about 159 miles from Miami International Airport on a two-lane-in-places highway with no alternate route, so a round trip from Fort Lauderdale or West Palm Beach can push past federal driver hour limits once traffic and stops are added. Most day groups turn around in Key Largo or Islamorada, and Key West trips are usually planned as overnights. Source: media.visitfloridakeys.com.

What Do Groups Ask Before Booking a Bus to Florida Keys Day Trip (Key Largo)?
From Miami the drive to Key Largo is about 62 road miles, roughly an hour and a half in free-flowing traffic, and from Fort Lauderdale it is about 93 miles or a little over two hours, based on OSRM routing. Key West is much farther, about 159 miles from Miami International Airport at the end of the 113-mile Overseas Highway, so add generous buffers for weekend traffic.
The Overseas Highway links the Keys with 42 bridges over its 113 miles from Key Largo to Key West, according to the Monroe County Tourist Development Council. The longest is the Seven Mile Bridge at Marathon, which actually measures 6.79 miles and opened to traffic in 1982.
It is possible but rarely practical. Key West is about 159 miles from Miami International Airport, and the only road in is US-1, so a round trip from Broward or Palm Beach County can approach the federal limit of 10 driving hours per shift for a passenger-carrier driver. Groups usually choose Key Largo or Islamorada for a day trip and book Key West as an overnight.
