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!

[@annebonny8865]

Great video, always wanted to camp there but wasn't sure what to expect, now I know....thank you 🇺🇸

[@ericintampa9352]

looks fun, minus the heat! just a beautiful place. thanks.

[@GloriousDayAdventures]

The wind really kept the heat not too bad. Not sure I’d want to be there mid summer though!

[@elmandalorian6671]

Excellent video, loved the night snorkeling...fun place to stay overnight...

[@GloriousDayAdventures]

Thanks! It was such a fun adventure!

[@claramullen]

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.

[@GloriousDayAdventures]

That's awesome! It is such a great place.

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.

[@GloriousDayAdventures]

Enjoy your trip. It truly is a great experience!

[@JAM0882]

Great video Guys! I love Dry 🐢 . I’ve been twice camped there for 3 days planning on doing it again next year.

[@thesaltybrood]

We were there early August and loved the place. Great video!

[@GloriousDayAdventures]

Thanks!

[@outdoorobservations]

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.

[@oceanhooligan]

Hey! Did the park rangers give you any trouble for the "Radiate" candle?

[@GloriousDayAdventures]

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.

[@quintonsmith8164]

What is so funny!!!!

[@jr3689]

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

[@GloriousDayAdventures]

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.

[@ShenaMiloni-vj8ku]

How do you get the go underneath the water without getting water in that tube that you breathe in

[@GloriousDayAdventures]

He just blows the water out of the snorkel when he comes up to the surface.

[@oceanhooligan]

Hey! How far in advance did you book the ferry for camping?

[@GloriousDayAdventures]

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

[@playingintheband442]

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.

[@GloriousDayAdventures]

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.

[@kcm4511]

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.

[@GloriousDayAdventures]

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.

[@sbellrochmn]

Merry Christmas - Just wondering what time of year you took the trip ?

[@GloriousDayAdventures]

Merry Christmas to you too! This was the beginning of May.

[@sbellrochmn]

@@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.

[@nancydeford4693]

Is it true a lot of private boats show up and have a lot of people camping as well?

[@GloriousDayAdventures]

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.

[@squirreljam2240]

That's a lot of work and planning to stay just 1 night.

[@GloriousDayAdventures]

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. :)

[@squirreljam2240]

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.

[@theangel219]

Didn't take the gheenoe?

[@GloriousDayAdventures]

Wish we could have! It’s 70 miles off shore which is just too far for our little boat.

[@juditzubor2302]

How did you charge the batteries for the Gopro?

[@GloriousDayAdventures]

We brought our Jackery portable battery power station

[@paulquartararo52]

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?

[@3beepslater512]

“I don’t drink coffee?” Joel, can you really trust her? LOL.

[@GloriousDayAdventures]

Lol!
