If you’re heading to the Dry Tortugas (and everybody should!), a seaplane is the ONLY way to go. Half of the adventure is the ride there and back, gliding over vast underwater sand dunes, watching the sharks and turtles swimming, and seeing the many abandoned Cuban boats littering the out islands. Quite an adventure in itself, and that’s not even touching on the amazing island that Fort Jefferson is. Definitely a must-do for any Floridian, and it should be high on the list for any other American to go see.

Turf or Nerf?
I titled this one Surf (self-explanatory) or Nerf (think of a Nerf football flying through the air) for lack of anything better to caption it with.
Ta Da!
