msev Posted December 10, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 10, 2013 We are going to be in Key West the first part of Jan. and we are thinking about renting a golf cart to ride around to the different sites. Has anyone done this or have any suggestions about seeing the sites.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappygrrl Posted December 10, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 10, 2013 We used Sunshine Scooters, and were very pleased. No complaints and it was easy to get around and fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyislandwilldo Posted December 10, 2013 #3 Share Posted December 10, 2013 We are going in Feb and rented a 4 seater electric car through Sunshine Scooters. Once you dock, you call them and they pick you up at the pier. We are bringing along the GPS to make good use of our time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billys mom Posted December 10, 2013 #4 Share Posted December 10, 2013 The electric cars are great. We chose to rent bikes and had a great time riding all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTO-Girl Posted December 10, 2013 #5 Share Posted December 10, 2013 we did the "hop-on/hop-off" trolley which worked out great for us. We were able to learn about the area and get on and off when we came to something we were really interested in. Key West is fun!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cv322 Posted December 10, 2013 #6 Share Posted December 10, 2013 we did the "hop-on/hop-off" trolley which worked out great for us. We were able to learn about the area and get on and off when we came to something we were really interested in. Key West is fun!!! We did this too one time - great fun! Every other time we just walked Duval St., and popped in & out of bars as necessary! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayTooCool Posted December 10, 2013 #7 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Key West is probably our favorite port - we've usually taken the Trolley since you can hop-on hop-off, plus you get the commentary of what it is you are looking at. Excellent service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dare2Believe Posted December 10, 2013 #8 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I agree with the above posters - We took the hop on/hop off trolley when we were there in July. We loved every second! So worth it. I'm going back in February, and will probably do the trolley. Side note - the City View trolley is cheaper if you buy passes at the pier as opposed to through Carnival beforehand. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgballer39 Posted December 10, 2013 #9 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I also have done the 'hop on/hop off trolley' and would recommend it for a first time visitor. Its a great way to see the island and not worry about the hassle of navigating yourself. In return trips we have pretty much walked Duval and enjoyed the various bars and restaurants key west has to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwalk03 Posted December 10, 2013 #10 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Sites to See: Duval St Southern Most Point Hemmingway House Harry Truman's Little White House (I think this is an under rated Key West site! I really enjoyed it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob6465 Posted December 10, 2013 #11 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Wife and I are right now in key west(Magic-dec 8 sailing). We saw many in scooters or bicycles.

CONCH65 Posted December 10, 2013 #13 Share Posted December 10, 2013 My wife and I were born and raised in KW. If you rent scooters please be careful. I remember seeing a girl depart the rental lot by pulling back on the throttle before she was fully seated and drive straight across the street and through a hotel door. The electric cars are safer but the last time I drove one it had a limited driving range due to the battery. The Conch train is cool for a first time visitor. Kick back and enjoy the informative ride and then hit Duval Street's bars and t-shirt shops on the way back to the ship. The women love the Kino's sandal shop that is located a block or two from the Mallory Square port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradUT Posted December 11, 2013 #14 Share Posted December 11, 2013 You might also just consider walking, which is how we navigated KW. We found the area around Duval Street rather congested with various kinds of vehicles (cars, bicycles, HO/HO trains, etc), so walking was a good choice for us. It's just a little more than a mile from one end of Duval Street to the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Kat Posted December 11, 2013 #15 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I've taken the HOHO trolley and enjoyed it. I have heard it can be very difficult to park sometimes, if you want to get out and tour a site or eat a meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
