The trip to the Dry Tortugas was the highlight of my vacation. Crystal blue waters, white beaches, access to living coral and extraordinary sealife. During my snorkel adventrure, I saw many species of fish, an eagle ray, beautiful coral, dolphins and even a baracuda and shark- not to worry. Both were harmless. This was the first time I was snorkeling, and I can't imaging it being better. The Yankee Freedom II staff was extraordinary was well. Definate must! (remeber- no running water on island).

Everglades National Park is unlike anything else in this world. It is a unique ecosystem which is too rapidly being encroached upon by new home builders. It is also a great place to enjoy some outdoor relaxation - canoeing, bike riding, hiking and airboating. There is lots of wildlife to see, too - alligators, heron, egrets, snakes, turtles and more.

In-laws live in the keys. Have been many times but first time to Dry Tortugas. We are going back and staying the whole day. The seaplane is the way to go. If you take the first plane you are the only ones there and there is tons to do. Bird watching, touring the fort, walking the grounds and snorkling. Wish we had our own boat and could scuba dive the area must be beautiful diving. If you can't do the plane take a boat but go because it is something to see. Clean, natural and quiet.

It seems that my secret fishing spot will now be known to the rest of the world. Took the three day fishing charter out of Key West. This trip is for serious fisherman only, we caught fish 24 hours a day. We caught every type of fish imagineable, from snapper to tuna. Completely filled a thirty gallon ice chest with fish filets, this fishing trip was the most memorable experience of my lifetime. I guess the secret is out.

I took the sea plane from Key West airport to the Dry Tortugas. The view of marine life and ship wrecks was awesome. The park has reefs a few yards from the beach that are great for snorkeling. The fort is an interesting Civil War relic that is work the trip alond. I highly recommend a trip to the Dry Tortugas National Park.
