Ferry to Fort Jefferson - Dry Tortugas National Park - Key West, Florida
By far the most amazing adventure we did in Key West was taking the Dry Tortugas National Park Ferry, the Yankee Freedom III, to Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas National Park. After a somewhat rocky 2 1/2 hour boat ride we were able to explore the third largest fort in the USA, the kids got their junior ranger badges, and we snorkeled as a family for the very first time. We were blown away with how awesome the ferry service was. From start to finish, the staff was exceptional. Not only did they feed us two meals, but they provided everything we needed (and took exceptional care of those that were motion sick). We would highly recommend this adventure for other families looking to get to a more remote location! If we get the chance to go again we would definitely choose to pay the small fee to camp for several nights on the island.

DRY TORTUGAS NATIONAL PARK | KEY WEST, FLORIDA | FILIPINA SA AMERICA
Hi Everyone! Happy Tuesday! In today’s video, I am sharing my recent trip to the beautiful Dry Tortugas National Park. It is tagged as one of the world’s most unique eco-attractions. By far, my favorite National Park in the US. If you are a history buff and love communing with nature, this place is a must to visit.
According to nps.gov, it was built between 1846 and 1875 to protect the nation's gateway to the Gulf of Mexico.

Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida - Key West Departure HD (2016)
The Dry Tortugas are a small group of islands, located in the Gulf of Mexico at the end of the Florida Keys, United States, about 67 miles (108 km) west of Key West, and 37 miles (60 km) west of the Marquesas Keys, the closest islands. Still further west is the Tortugas Bank, which is submerged. The first Europeans to discover the islands were the Spanish in 1513, led by explorer Juan Ponce de León. They are an unincorporated area of Monroe County, Florida, and belong to the Lower Keys Census County Division. With their surrounding waters, they constitute the Dry Tortugas National Park.

Exploring the Florida Keys | Dry Tortugas National Park | Fort Jefferson
This week we stayed at Bahia Honda State Park and had an amazing site, right on the water. We had to book 11 months in advance, but it was totally worth it! We played tourists in Key West and visited the Laura Quinn Wild Bird Sanctuary. We also took the ferry out to Fort Jefferson at Dry Tortugas National Park (our 10th!), which had the most gorgeous crystal clear water we've ever seen. The weather didn't quite cooperate with us, so we will definitely have to come back!

TORTUGAS ROCK - DRY TORTUGAS NATIONAL PARK ASTRO TIMELAPSE
On a remote island hours away from Key West lies the largest masonry structure in the Americas: Fort Jefferson. Built with 16 million bricks, but never finished, the fort served as a prison during Civil War. In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, upon visiting the island, named it a National Monument, and in 1992 it became part of Dry Tortugas National Park.
Besides serving as a safe haven for the most preserved coral reef in the United States, the set of islands that comprise the national park also protect countless marine animals and bird species. However, the true treasure of this amazing place was noted by one of its most famous prisoners, Dr. Samuel Mudd, who once said that the the only escape from the hell of this prison was gazing at the night skies. Today, Dry Tortugas National Park is the darkest spot on USA's East Coast.
This video was filmed as part of SKYGLOW (skyglowproject.com), an ongoing crowdfunded quest to explore the effects and dangers of urban light pollution in contrast with some of the most incredible dark sky areas in North America. This project is being produced in collaboration with International Dark-Sky Association (darksky.org), a non-profit fighting for the preservation of night skies around the globe.
The film was shot on Canon 5DSR & 5DIII cameras & lenses sponsored by Canon USA, aided by Alpine Labs' Michron, powered by Paul C. Buff Vagabond Mini. LRTimelapse was used to process some of the shots.
