Activities with limited capacity or scheduled departures are the most important to book ahead of time. Popular reef snorkeling tours, sunset sailing cruises, dolphin watching tours, private boat charters, fishing charters, jet ski island tours, sandbar excursions, and Dry Tortugas National Park ferry tours often sell out well in advance, especially during holidays and peak travel seasons. More flexible activities, such as exploring Old Town Key West, visiting Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum or Harry S. Truman Little White House, shopping along Duval Street, or enjoying the sunset celebration at Mallory Square can usually be planned after you arrive.
