Bypass the crowded ferry and spend the extra to do this! I did it with a couple of people I met while on vacation in Key West (in July of 2010) and it turned out to be one of the best vacation experiences I have ever had. The company provided snorkeling equipment for those interested and commentary on sights we... More

if you are in key west and feel like your missing out on something, this is for you. You get to see the islands and venture off the beaten the path. The pilot is full of fun and interesting info only a local could share. More

This is the way to go! The trip out and back is almost as good as your time at Fort Jefferson. We saw dolphins, a sea turtle and our pilot was knowledgeable and humorous. They even supply snorkel equipment. More

Had been wanting to do this and we finally did. Took the 35min flight out to the Dry Tortugas and Ft. Jefferson. This was simply amazing and well worth it. Went on the half day trip and left at 8am. We got there well before the ferry (full of people) so we had the place to ourselves. The plane held... More

We had hesitations about flying from Key West to Dry Tortugas, which is about a 40 minute flight. Key West Seaplane Adventures did an exceptional job from start to finish and our pilot, Charlie was the absolute best and included narration of sights below us. If you go to Key West, charter the plane and go to Dry Tortugas! Charlene... More

The Key West Seaplane Adventures plane trip to Dry Tortugas Fort Jefferson was spectacular...highly recommended. Well worth the money rather than taking the ferry. The ONLY comment is to watch out for the Wicked Witches of Key West at the Key West Intl Airport. The pilot and the guy who briefed us in the office were GREAT! But the two... More

My husband dreamed of going to the Dry Tortugas, and we decided to take our sons with us before Christmas. This tour company is meticulous, very professional, and devoted to excellent customer service. Although I'm afraid of heights and have bad knees, our pilot, Evan was so kind and helped me feel comfortable. The flight is narrated by the pilot,... More

The views were the high point of the trip. This a unique and faster way to get to Fort Jefferson. Enjoyed snorkeling in the clear water. High point for my son was riding in the co-piolits seat. Overall, pleasant staff and excellent experience. More

Perfect! Everything was perfect! We took the 2:00pm flight and had the island almost to ourselves - just the other eight people and campers. Taking off and landing was much better than on the big jet into Key West. Much better than taking the boat. It was windy when we went and it was taking the boat even longer to... More
