This morning after breakfast we’ll visit the Turtle Hospital where they rehab injured sea turtles and return them to their natural habitat. We’ll get a behind the scenes tour of the facilities and help feed some of the permanent residents. Afterwards, we start with a ride across the famous 7-mile bridge on our way to our destination – Key West! We’ll take our time with some stops at little Key Deer and check out some local art shops. There’s a great little swimming hole in Sugarloaf to cool off before our final stretch into Key West, riding past beautiful beaches where the ocean breezes and relaxed atmosphere make us wish we lived here. This evening we will head to Duval Street for Dinner. 47 miles – apx. 6.5 hours biking with breaks. Overnight in Key West.- The Palms Hotel or similar. (B, D)

Happy Earth Day! This morning we rise early to do a magical mangrove maze kayak tour (2 hrs. – not included.). On the southeast end of the island of Key West is a protected mangrove forest that is still relatively unspoiled by development where you get up close and personal with how the Keys looked a long, long time ago. In this forest are small river “tunnels” just wide enough to fit a kayak. The natural rivers weave through the tangled roots of mangrove plants (a species that can grow in salt water), creating a unique “maze” that creates a nursery for small wildlife. Afterwards, we’ll explore more of Key West on a walking tour of the highlights, history, culture, and legends before we head to Key West International Airport for our evening flights back home. (B)
