Air travel provides the most efficient access to Dry Tortugas National Park, a cluster of islands located about 70 miles west of Key West, Florida. Scheduled seaplane and ferry services offer transportation to and from the islands, allowing visitors to experience this remote and historically significant national park.
Reaching the park by air significantly reduces travel time compared to boat travel, maximizing time available for exploring the park’s pristine beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and the historic Fort Jefferson. This efficiency is particularly valuable for visitors with limited time. Furthermore, aerial views offer breathtaking perspectives of the surrounding seascape and the island chain itself, enhancing the overall visitor experience.
