What people say

Rhonda Glisson
"A trip to the Dry Tortugas National Park and Ft. Jefferson is an absolutely wonderful way to spend a few hours, or all day. Take a picnic lunch, your beach and snorkeling gear and settle in for the day or just a few hours--either one is worth the trip. Ft. Jefferson is an incredible piece of history that you'll want to explore. "
Abigail Parris
"The park is famous for Fort Jefferson, a massive 19th-century coastal fortress that was never fully completed but played a role in American history. The Dry Tortugas are also renowned for their pristine waters, vibrant coral reefs, and abundant marine life, making it a prime spot for snorkeling and diving."
Madison Riley
"This is a must-do day trip from Key West! Book it in as far advance as possible because it books up quick. We did the ferry because it was cheaper but a seaplane can also take you out there. Only a certain number of people can go a day because it is a 70 mile ferry/plane ride from Key West."
