Island & Water Activities
Island Activities for Everyone
All the fun and excitement you'll have at Duck Key might take some getting used to. After all, it's not everyday you can walk out your door, hop on a boat, and within minutes be snorkeling and diving with thousands of colorful fish and marine species. You can also fish, swim with dolphins, kayak, kiteboard, rent a boat and go lobstering, play tennis, send the kids off to the Indies Kids Club for sports and video games, and so much more!
But take note, the Florida Keys aren't all fun and games. It's hard work maintaining our reputation as being a laid-back destination. Some times we have to spend the day getting pampered with a message at the spa; soaking up rays at one of five swimming pools or ocean-fed saltwater lagoon; or just sipping champagne on a Duck Key sunset cruise.
It's tough business. Think you can handle it?
