Dry Tortugas National Park lies 70 miles west of Key West, Florida. You cannot drive to this remote national park, but you can choose a few different ways to get there.
October through January due to hurricane season. Therefore, November through April are the best time to visit Dry Tortugas.
Seaplane Charter You can book a private seaplane charter to get to Dry Tortugas through Seaplane Adventures out of Key West. It’s the quickest way to reach Dry Tortugas but also more expensive than the ferry.
Camp Believe it or not, you can camp on Garden Key. Sounds like an extraordinary experience, right? Stargazing, snorkeling, unbelievable sunsets and more!
The shallow five-to-15 feet depths make snorkeling an incredible experience — imagine your kids seeing tropical fish, starfish, queen conchs and living coral for the first time!
