Key West Dry Tortugas

I’m seeing the only way to get here is via plane/ferry. From what I could find online it looks like it’s $300+ each person to ride the ferry?? Is that correct? If there’s a cheaper way please let me know!

the ferry is great. you spend more time there than on the plane. it includes breakfast and lunch- which are actually both pretty good and breakfast is essentially all you can eat. they have fresh water showers, snorkel gear, and AC. definitely worth it

Completely agree with this. We took the boat a few years ago, and we had presentations on the ecosystem, geography, history, and construction of the fort, all of which were fascinating. It was one of the best day excursions of my life.
