I write this review hating the fact that outside of a plane, this is the only option to visit this NP. Hollywood was the lead guide and did a great job imo, rest of the crew seemed a little more unh…Full review by mikeflood7

Questions & answers

Q:
What do you do with your stuff while snorkeling?
A:
You leave it on the beach. The only people on the island are the park rangers and the other passengers from the boat. Nothing gets stolen, and the beach is always in sight.

Hello, I would very much love to know how to find a pilot to Dry Tortugas? I'm thinking of taking my 80 year old Dad and maybe do some snorkeling. Know the boat ride there would be too long. Wondering if there is better snorkeling in the Keys as some folks gave bad reviews for snorkeling at Dry Tortugas. Linda

Q:
I plan to take the ferry day tour to Dry Tortugas. For someone who can't swim, how much fun will I miss out? Anyone know if the tour provide life vest along with snorkeling gears? Maybe I can try snorkel in shallow waters.
A:
There is so much to do there without snorkeling if you can walk the fort and the surrounding grounds. There is plenty of shallow water around pier and fort if you want to snorkel but trust …

Two questions: On a rough day, would you recommend the seasick prescription patches for those prone to motion sickness? And, if you went during Covid, are masks worn indoors on the boat?

Yes to both questions. Mask are required while you are on the boat. I definitely recommend some type of motion sickness medics if you are prone to it. I usually use the patch but …

Q:
We will be camping in April 2022 for 3 nights. We were there back in the 90’s and remembered seeing fishermen coming to camp to trade there fish for liquor. Has anyone who has camped there recently know if this is still happening?! Also how are campers boiling water, since we are limited to self lite charcoal or sterno? Does the ferry provide tubs to store food and gear in?! Thank you Tonya
A:
We came on the ferry in July, and I don't think they provided storage. We didn't see any fishermen or trading of supplies on the beach.
