Experience the Florida Keys with Kuoni

The Florida Keys offers fantastic diving opportunities, amazing seafood and some of the most beautiful sunsets you’ll ever see. Stretching 120 miles, the Florida Keys are the home to the only living-coral barrier reef in the United States and it is teeming with marine life.

The Florida Keys are blessed with a plethora of flora and fauna both beneath the waves and above and have a great deal of guided eco walks, environmental centres and green initiatives to help keep this amazing string of islands beautiful for years to come.

The main shopping and dining area of Key West is a little livelier than other Keys however and you will find a wide choice of restaurants, bars, shops and entertainment within easy reach of your hotel.
