I'll be in the Keys in mid December.  I already know 
that one day plane trips from Key West to Fort Jeff are available,
check the AAA Florida book for name of the company.  Price is
~ $100 for round trip.  

My question is: is this trip worth taking?  Are there any 
knowledgeable rangers or such in the Tortugas who can lead 
interesting trips, or at least point one to good places? 
How close are the good places to where the plane lets you off?
