The Best Time for an Eco Tour in Key West

While Key West offers fantastic weather year-round, the best time for eco tours is from late fall to early spring, when temperatures are mild and migratory birds are abundant. However, the warm waters and tropical environment mean there’s never a bad time to explore the natural wonders of Key West.
