- Visiting and camping in the Dry Tortugas National Park has been on our bucket list for years. We took the Yankee Freedom III Ferry from Key West to the Dry Tortugas. There we snorkeled, walked the fort and even snorkeled at night. It was amazing to be on the island with very few people until the ferry arrived the next morning.
*Sorry for the wind noise throughout the video. It was so windy even the microphone with the dead cat couldn't keep the wind noise out.

Great video. Thanks for sharing
Very cool. One of my bucket list items.
Your videos make me want to explore my state more
thank you for sharing! me and my gf are going in May 2023 and we are currently overthinking our packing strategy until we ran into this video. thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Have a good trip!
Great video, always wanted to camp there but wasn't sure what to expect, now I know....thank you 🇺🇸
I have taken the day trip to Dry Tortugas on the ferry and loved it! I would definitely like to camp overnight to have that experience. Thanks for sharing!
My husband and I live in Orlando Florida we have been taking the ferry every year out to camp at Fort Jefferson for 15 years it is paradise I love it out there.
That's awesome! It is such a great place.
Added to bucket list. Such a wonderful experience.
looks fun, minus the heat! just a beautiful place.
thanks.
The wind really kept the heat not too bad. Not sure I’d want to be there mid summer though!
Excellent video, loved the night snorkeling...fun place to stay overnight...
Thanks! It was such a fun adventure!
Love the Dry Tortugas! Only been on day trips. Would love to camp there! Great video!
Great video Guys! I love Dry 🐢 . I’ve been twice camped there for 3 days planning on doing it again next year.
Great video!
We love Harpoon Harry’s.
Awesome video
Thanks!
Planning a visit, thanks for the info.
Enjoy your trip. You will love it!!
U got a new subscriber with this video. I loved everything about this trip. Thanks for sharing
Awesome! Thank you!
We were there early August and loved the place. Great video!
Thanks!
What is so funny!!!!
Awsome video, planning a trip to Dry Tortugas next spring. You gave some great tips and tricks on what to expect. Thanks for sharing. New sub here.
Enjoy your trip. It truly is a great experience!
Beautiful place. That lighthouse at loggerhead key isn’t bad to look at either. Not sure about chasing cudas and snorkeling at night though lol.
Hey! Did the park rangers give you any trouble for the "Radiate" candle?
No they didn’t say anything. During our “rules” talk when we got there, we asked but they didn’t really understand what it was so they said it should be fine.
Thanks great video!I'm hoping to go there in about six months or so .I'm wanting to camp for like 3 days or so but I've heard you have to make reservations 9 months in advance.But yeah your video answered a lot of my questions and also found really interesting facts Were the mosquitos bad.
Book as soon as you can cause it fills up quick. We booked 9 months ahead and could only get a random Monday for 1 night. There were really no bugs. I don't think we saw any mosquitos.
That's a lot of work and planning to stay just 1 night.
Totally agree. We would have loved to stay another night but it’s hard to get a reservation. We booked in September and the only option for 2 people was this one Monday night in May. There may have been something in July but who wants to primitive camp in Florida in July. :)
I went with my son in July over the 4th for 3 nights. There was only 8 of us campers. It was hot the first night not to bad the other two. We had the same campsite as you guys. I enjoy your content.
Hi...Thanks for a wonderful video! I was wondering if you have a preference of which underwater camera was better? I don't have either and am looking to purchase one for our trip this summer to Dry Tortugas. Thanks
Our GoPro Hero worked really well underwater. This one was the old version 8 but we now have a 10 as well. We also used our Insta360 in this video but we had a lens protector on it which is why you are seeing the lens line at times.
Hey! How far in advance did you book the ferry for camping?
We booked it about 10 months in advance. They limit the number of campers allowed on the boat each day so you want to call as soon as possible. I think they take reservations up to one year ahead
I have weird concerns about camping. I know there are no bathrooms on the island, only on the boat? Or that was my understanding. I'm going in July and I would love to camp, but I'm not experienced at all.
There are “bathrooms” on the island that are open when the boat is not there. More like holes in the ground but they are raised, with a seat and in individual rooms.
Merry Christmas - Just wondering what time of year you took the trip ?
Merry Christmas to you too! This was the beginning of May.
@@GloriousDayAdventures Thank you for the reply. Samantha (my bride to be) and I are in Port Charlotte/ North Port, FL. Would really enjoy coffee or a beverage with you two if you are ever in the area. We are in the process of putting together a future of many adventures, work camping and just living a simple life of enjoy what is around us. Have a great day.
Is it true a lot of private boats show up and have a lot of people camping as well?
We didn’t see many private boats. I don’t think they can camp on the island without a reservation because there is limited space but I’m not absolutely positive. They may just stay on their boat overnight.
Didn't take the gheenoe?
Wish we could have! It’s 70 miles off shore which is just too far for our little boat.
“I don’t drink coffee?” Joel, can you really trust her? LOL.
Lol!
How did you charge the batteries for the Gopro?
We brought our Jackery portable battery power station
Awesome video and inspired me to take an adventure. Both your commentary was interesting but not too lengthy. How did you guys record video from behind when you were walking?
