Reservations
Vessel Access and Guided Tour Reservations
Since 95% of the park is water, tours for snorkeling and island transport are the primary bottleneck and require booking weeks in advance. Camping on Elliott or Boca Chita Key is primitive and fee-based; always check the park concessioner for boat schedules and availability.
