Dry Tortugas Day Trips

While down in Key West, do not miss you chance to visit the fantastic Dry Tortugas National Park, what many call the most unique of all national parks. Out here, you will experience what the "island life" truly feels like. You will get to snorkel in some of the absolute best snorkeling sites in the whole world, as well as enjoy the calm island breeze. On Garden Key, you will find the massive and historic Fort Jefferson you will be able to go on a great guided tour that lets you know about the rich history of the Dry Tortugas.

The Yankee Freedom provides daily ferry service from Key West, Florida to the Dry Tortugas National Park and Fort Jefferson. En route to Dry Tortugas National Park our onboard naturalist will give you an orientation about the area and the national park's surroundings.

There is no faster way to get to the Dry Tortugas than aboard the seaplanes! On a flight that takes less than 45 minutes (compared to the over 2 hours it takes on the ferries), you will be able to spend more time on the islands of the Dry Tortugas
