Most people know the Florida Keys and Key West as a great getaway. One of the most unique places on earth. Calm. Serene. Laid Back. Just the right setting to recharge your batteries and rejuvenate your spirits. A laidback atmosphere with a Caribbean touch, white beaches, colourful coral reefs, cosy bars and always beautiful weather.
The area is divided into five regions: Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon, Big Pine and the Lower Keys, and Key West. Each has its own flavour and attractions.
Key Largo is the Dive capital of the World. You can let go in the Keys in less than an hour south from Miami. To the west, tranquil Florida Bay and the primeval Everglades backcountry. To the east, the clear blue waters of the Gulf Stream and the wondrous enchantment of the nation’s only living coral reef.
Islamorada is the sport fishing capital of the world, but when you are not fishing on the water, you could be under water diving on Islamorada’s barrier reef. Shop, dine, gallery, arts & crafts, seafood festivals or State Parks. Follow the antics of trained dolphins, turtles and sea lions.
Marathon is your Hometown in the Heart of the Keys. Here you can let go in a world of small-town individualism where the glow of the people is absolutely genuine. Marathon is a hometown that is the perfect Homebase while you let go in the Keys. Anything you decide to do anywhere at all in the Keys is only a few mile markers away.
The Lower Keys are as pristine and beautiful as the where eons ago. You can let go and experience life as it should be. Unspoiled. Relaxed. Natural.
Key West is the Uncommon place... Discover a city where real estate titles date back to the Kings of Spain. Stroll the palm-lined streets and discover gingerbread mansions, tin-roofed conch houses, the John Audubon House and Ernest Hemingway’s home.

Explore MoreThrough education, research and rescue, Dolphin Research Centre promotes peaceful coexistence, cooperation and communication between marine mammals, humans and the environment we share with the well-being of DRC's animals taking precedence. Meet their family of dolphins and sea lions, all of whom live in natural, seawater lagoons in the Gulf of Mexico. Spend a couple of hours or all day, experiencing their personalities in fun-filled, narrated behaviour sessions. In between, watch educational presentations, visit the tropical birds, play in the Spray ground or simply enjoy the beautiful, outdoor Florida Keys setting. Dolphins and sea lions choose to participate in sessions, including interactive programs from the docks or in the water. None are ever forced. Therefore, on any given day, program availability and times may vary based on the needs of the animals.
