Plan this island well
Dry Tortugas is a remote national park reached from Key West by approved ferry, seaplane or private vessel. Transportation, weather and self-sufficiency determine what is possible more than an ordinary island itinerary.
Reserve transportation before building the rest of the trip. Day visitors and campers should follow National Park Service guidance for water, food, gear, baggage, protected resources and departure timing.
