Sailboat tours. We went on a sunset wine tasting (they gave us a shit ton to taste) and a kayak/snorkel/lunch one. I'll try to find the info for the company we used, they were #1 on trip advisor when we did it. Not cheap, but we'll worth it (especially since my parents paid).

We did the sunset cruise too. The Western Union one I think. They had a live singer on board as entertainment and it was so cheesy but DH bought his CD because it was an awesome cheesy.

Sunset celebration, little White House, pretty much anything on a boat. I love Key West.

Go parasailing, I did with Sebago had an amazing time! Go bar hopping and shopping on Duvall St! There is also a swim with dolphins, dolphins plus i believe was in key largo most definitely worth the trip!!

I took my mom there in October for a kid-free week and it was glorious! I hadn't been there since I was a kid. I definitely second the sailboat tours and Mallory Square is always a blast. We went to the Key West Historical Museum (by Hemmingway's house) and it was really interesting to learn about the history of the island. I'm jealous -- have so much fun!

Definitely have dinner at sunset in Mallory Square. I also enjoyed the trolley tour, but I'm a nerd like that.

I'm stalking this thread. Dh and i are planning on going to Key West for our 10th anniversary next year. It's a whole year away and i can't wait.

Yes, if you have those names, that would be great!

Both tours were through Danger Charters. 

Definitley Danger Charters.

The ghost tour is really cool there.

Also, everything @pobrecita said. We had a "rehearsal lunch" the day before our wedding at Louie's Backyard. Also, it's a little touristy but there is a Cuban place I love near Mallory Square. El Maison de Pepe. There is a place with better Cuban food (according to reviews) but it can't match the location and atmosphere.

Renting bicycles was fun, too. That was our mode of transportation when we rented a house for the week.

The keys are my second home. Dd has been there 15ish times in her life of 3 years. If you plan on having a car and going to other islands I can help with that. I need to get back there in the next couple months.

YES!! Danger Cruises sunset wine tasting is so much fun.

We did a dolphin cruise/snorkel trip. It was so cool; we had a few dolphins swim up along with our boat, including a mother and her nursing calf. We also saw one flinging fish into the air before s/he ate them. It was neat to see them doing their thing in "the wild".
