Snorkeling and Bird
Watching
Snorkeling:
Dry Tortugas National Park boasts some of the best snorkeling in
North America. Whether you are a beginner or expert, you can enjoy
a myriad of colorful tropical fish and living coral. Snorkeling
is in only 4 to 7 feet of water, straight off a brilliant white
sand beach.
We
can supply complimentary snorkel equipment, if you have your own
you are welcome to bring it (sorry, no dive tanks). Make sure you
bring along your bathing suit and towel.
Remember
as in all National Parks, all life is protected and preserved for
this and future generations. It is illegal to spear-fish, lobster,
collect coral or shells within the park.

Bird Watching: Bird watching is excellent with
up to 200 varieties spotted annually. Bird activity is greatest
March through September; migratory birds peak April and May. During
this period 100,000 Noddy and Sooty Terns nest on nearby Bush Key.
It is also common to spot Frigates, Boobies and White tailed Tropic
Birds. During the spring migration we can supply up to date birding
lists. Bring along your binoculars and scopes.
