Our verdict
This tour fits a typical Key West call (8:00 am–3:30 pm). It runs 1 h 30 min; ashore by 8:20 am, you can start by 8:28 am and be back at the gangway around 10:06 am — 4 h 24 min to spare on top of a 1 h safety margin.
Rule of thumb: it keeps the safety margin as long as all aboard is 11:06 am or later. Even a short 7:00 am–2:00 pm call works.
The meeting point is at the cruise pier or a short walk from it — the operator's own directions are written from Pier B (Truman Annex / Opal Key Resort). We allow 8 min to walk off and find them; usually no taxi and no transfer eating into your day.
Among the 350 Key West shore excursions we track, this is one of the shorter ones (the median runs 3 h); 85% of them fit a typical call.
Computed from the tour's published duration, the distance from the cruise pier to its start point and the typical Key West call. Adjust your ship's times above to recheck.
