A family should generally plan to spend $200 to $600+ per day, depending on the activities they choose. A beach day with sightseeing and casual dining is typically the most affordable option, while adding experiences such as reef snorkeling tours, sunset sailing cruises, dolphin watching tours, jet ski island tours, or private boat charters will increase the overall cost. In addition to activity tickets, budget for meals, drinks, parking, gratuities, and souvenirs. Booking one major excursion and combining it with free attractions like Mallory Square, Duval Street, and Southernmost Point Buoy is a good way to experience Key West while keeping daily expenses predictable.
