Raise the mast!  Swab the deck!  Arrr mateys, do you love pirates? If so, you’re going to love this episode of Exploring the National Parks!

We are exploring a park that surprised us in every way - Dry Tortugas National Park! We have been to many historical parks, but this one was so much cooler than we expected. Everything about this area will amaze you, and we are excited to share this incredible park with you.

Join us as we discuss:

  • The only two ways to get to Dry Tortugas (and our traumatic experience getting there!)

  • The fascinating history behind Fort Jefferson and the amazing sights to see

  • Why this is one of the best places to go snorkeling and see coral and fish

  • Our experience visiting Key West and what we loved about it

  • The interesting things to see and stories you can hear in this area

Though our first trip was bumpy, we can’t wait to get back – it was such a gorgeous location to visit! Add Dry Tortugas to your bucket list, and get ready to have adventures on the high seas! Check out the full show notes here.
