Description

The Conch Train is a beloved Key West staple and one of Florida's most popular attractions. For a great tour of Key West, hop aboard this charming reminder of Henry Flagler’s Overseas Railroad, the engineering miracle that brought rail passengers to Key West via an extension of the Florida East Coast Railway.

Called by some Flagler’s Folley, the Overseas Railroad only operated from 1912 to 1935. But the intrepid little Conch Train has been making its faithful rounds of the city without fail since 1958, and is still running daily for your enjoyment.

Sit back and relax as you take a 75-minute journey through the exciting history of Key West and visit the city’s top modern-day attractions.

Hear stories of the days before European settlement when Native American tribesmen left their enemy’s bones to bleach in the island wilderness known to the first Spanish explorers as Cayo Hueso, or “Bone Cay”.

Cruise the streets and byways of Key West, shaded by lush, tropical foliage and graced by some of America’s most unique and historic architectural treasures. Get close up to the colorful, quirky wonder that defines the unique personality of Key West, America’s Southernmost City.

Climb the 65-foot observation tower at the Key West Shipwreck Treasure Museum. Learn about Mel Fisher, the treasure hunter whose lifelong search for sunken Spanish galleons lead to tragedy and finally triumph when he found the 1622 wreck of the Nuestra Señora de Atocha and $450 million worth of Spanish treasure.

Experience the Cayo Hueso y Habana Historeum and revisit the days when Cuban cigar magnates ruled the manufacturing and trading hub of Mallory Square.

Meet the explorers, wreckers, turtle hunters, spongers, smugglers, pirates, and rebels who founded Key West. Hear about legendary visitors and residents like Thomas Edison, Tennessee Williams, John James Audubon, Ernest Hemingway, Harry S. Truman and others. This tour will immerse you in the giant personalities and important events that make this tiny island so special.

Catch the Conch Train for a Key West tour that is truly special. Get your eTickets right here and simply show your mobile device to climb aboard. Then ride the loop or hop on and off to explore at any of four Old Town stops: The Station Depot at Front and Duval Street, Truval Depot at Truman and Duval, Flagler Station on Caroline Street, or Mallory Square.

Wonderful overview of the key west area. Very clean tram (train) and friendly staff made the trip a fun experience. Gave us a wonderful overview of the area, and great history.

We took this as an excursion offered through Carnival. It satisfied our need to see the town without walking. There were plenty of folks on the dock directing us to the train (tram) which was parked less than 5 minutes away. We always use this method of getting around...but we don't get off anywhere. If we want to get to a specific place, we always book a tour/transport that takes us directly to whatever it is we want to see because you never know how long the time between train stops will be. The distance from the end stop to the dock was less than a 10-minute walk for two seniors to do.

This train tour gave us the perfect overview of Key West and enough information to decide what areas to go back and visit at length! Our driver was delightful and had tons of info to share, as well as enough patience not to run over inattentive drivers or wandering tourists! This is the tour you need to figure out where to go next!

Took this tour as part of a Key West Excursion. It's a good tour and they give you a lot of the history of the island. It took about an hour.

We wanted to do this last time here but my dog was with.. no dogs on the train! Bummer. But this time was good! We were 4 and had a great time riding around. I did have to translate. It really is a pretty nice train ride. When u get off and on like we did you get a different driver. They have a bit of different versions of the stories. But fun none the less. I bought on Groupon and it allowed us into the Rail museum ( Flagler) and the trolley all day as well. On and off! So did the conch first then the trolley went ALL the way around the island! That was kewl! Doing that is allowed us to see allllll the outskirts that U don’t see normally. Including the beaches etc and regular shopping areas.

We had a wonderful afternoon. The jokes were corny but the scenery was great. I had my elderly mother with me and the crew could not have handled her better. They brought a step for her to make it easier for on/off transport and stored her walker for us.

Really fun way to see downtown! Friendly for seniors/people who can't tolerate walking too long, especially in the heat. It went with the flow of the traffic so the only negative I have to say is that I wish the trip wasn't so quick; it seemed like the guides had a lot more to say than the time allowed. Can't remember our first driver but Rob was a great tour guide with a very clear voice
