Sightseeing boat
I
love to play in the water. But my ears have a problem, my doctor warned me that
my ears cannot have water. So I like the boat, eating delicious snacks, drinks,
and watch the beautiful fish in the transparent glass-bottom boat tour. That
was a really good piece to enjoy life. That's Ocala Silver Springs, which is
the birthplace of the world's first glass-bottom boat.
Swim with the fish
Florida Keys has the world's third largest barrier reef chain, stretches up to 7,000 square nautical miles. Some companies offer a unique service vessels in the water. We can go to the center of the sea, 10 km away, wearing masks, wearing flippers to open the magic of "underwater door." My husband and my son liked in the water to snorkel way to explore the Florida Keys strange underwater world, and accompanied by colorful fish. Where they fully enjoy the fun.

and quickly skim over the water to enjoy the wild nature. If you're lucky, you

On the coast of
Florida, if you're brave enough, you can also play more exciting. You like a
bird from the air overlooking Florida's blue sky, it was towed parasailing by boats.
It jumped to more than 400 meters of altitude, watch criss-cross and shapes of
the river from the air, it is an entirely different story. But we have not
tried, only to watch someone else play.
