Hey guys, Alfred Montaner here, if you want to see an amazing area where
You can hang out with your family in the Everglades, stay tuned and watch this video
Let's see, let's see what this guy does, all right, there's another flats boat
This another guy, or is this the same guy?
Maybe it's another guy
We'll see, we'll see now, guys
All right, so he's going to come out of here, I want to see the track
The day
They do, right
Oh boy
So, I just saw a manatee
Dude, there's fish rolling everywhere
Um, guys, keep an eye
On the water, you're gonna see
Fsh rolling, you're gonna see manatees
You're gonna look, okay, so here's
Here's a flats boat coming out, guys
Oh man, this place is beautiful dude, get ready
All right, so let's look exactly their track, right
Where they go, look, look how they have to go
This is not, guys, if you don't follow the markers
You're gonna hit a shoal
Um
And this is known for flat skies right, cause it's really skinny water
I mean
I wouldn't dare to come out here with a big old center console, because more than likely
You may have a problem, right
I could be wrong, maybe people that know this area very well
Um
Could navigate the waters, but look
So
He's gonna come
All around
And uh, he's gonna end up that way
As well guys, you see all the boats that are on the screen
Look, this guy's here, kayak fishing
He's over here, there's some
Drums, red drums, and stuff like that, and redfish
I did see some tarpon rolling as well
Oh look, look at the manatee, look at the manatee
Oh she just, she just went down
Come on, man
So yeah, manatees here
And uh
It's really pretty, really pretty, pretty air
I don't know what's going on back here, there's a building that looks kind of
I wouldn't say abandoned, but it might be under construction
And then, in the backdrop
Obviously is
The actual ramps, the ramps are back here
And then you have the entire Marina. I'm gonna go ahead and walk real
Quick, I'm going to walk to an area, where there is And then you have the entire Marina. I'm gonna go ahead and walk real
Quick, I'm going to walk to an area, where there is
Um
A camping section, where where people go and, pull the tents, and also have these views
So, let's go ahead and walk that area real quick
I'm gonna go, I'm gonna kind of be quiet here, okay
Because here's the thing, I want to keep my voice low
Uh, it's very scenic right here, this is a section
Which they call "The Amphitheater"
And guys, I am putting all these sections
Down below, exactly where I'm filming from
And this is
To the right side of where we were just at the Marina
Just a little bit towards the right
Another amazing view, and then there's a campground
Back here
Um, in the direction I'm about to point the the camera
So you have some local fishermen that are here
This area also
In the cooler months
Is also known as an area where people camp
Um
If you see back here
I think these are, these are actual tents
You can rent out
From the park, I would advice you to go to the
The national park website, so you guys can see exactly more information
There's a little outhouse here so, if you need to go to the restroom
Back here
Very, very nice, very scenic, amazing colors, guys
And then you got so more flats boats back there
Look the back, all the way back there
All right, real quick, very very quick guys, word
Of warning, if you go, anywhere in the park
And you see signs that says
Your know, cover your car
The vultures, they like to jump on the windshields
And
Break the rubber off of your windshield wipers
It's the weirdest thing in the world
But they do it, and uh
I'll try to see if I can find one of the places where they
You see them here just hanging out
Those guys, they're just sitting above waiting for
Someone to make a mistake
All right, so if you do come out here, you have two ramps
Uh here, and I think that they said that there's one
Inside the actual Marina
Uh, when they say the inside, they hear these two
And from what they were explaining
Back here, I guess where the boats are, the bigger boats
And I do think you can do like a glass bottom tour
Or some type of tour here and find out here at the marine store
But yeah, you can launch your boat out of here
I gotta find out if there's an additional fear that's included with the park pass
So here are some houseboats
That you can actually rent here
And this is
On the opposite side
And I do believe that
Because it is
Very narrow, they drive it out
And then, they pick up the captain
And then you can go ahead and have a good time
Here's another ramp, guys
Very, very nice
This is the back side, right
Back side that leaves you
In shore, as opposed to the Florida bay
You see all the birds in the backdrop?
You hear the birds chirping as well?
It's just so cool
Now, the cool thing about the Everglades, is that
You see it like this in one section
You go a little bit further, and it's completely different
Somewhere else, so we're gonna continue driving, guys
We started this video at Flamingo
And now we're heading towards the entrance of the park
And we're that's where we're gonna go ahead and
Uh, finish, so you guys can see exactly
Some of the things now, I will link another video
In the area, so you guys can know, what you can do prior
Prior to coming to the actual park, cause there's a lot of cool things you could do
Very close by
And you guys can go ahead and check that out as well
Looks like more boaters are coming back to Flamingo
These are those moments that you can only capture guys, with a very, very long lens
This is uh, obviously a bird back here
And uh
I mean, it's really pretty back here, I just came on the side of the road And uh
I mean, it's really pretty back here, I just came on the side of the road
I'm gonna zoom out just a little bit so you guys can see
How the scenery has changed
All right
All right guys, so we're gonna just walk this one here
I definitely, this is the closest one I want you guys to see
And I think there's a good opportunity we might see
An alligator, so
Look at, they're telling you don't leave your valuables in your vehicle
And uh
I would assume that
You know, every now and then, there's
Some bad apples that will come over here knowing that there's
Not a lot of people in this area
Thankfully there's a lot of people at the moment here
Um... but think about it, right
So you're in the middle of the Everglades, somebody can go ahead and
Just
You know, break your window, take whatever they see in the car
Definitely, good opportunity to see
An alligator
Look we got a... this is the Gumbo Limbo trail
Which I'm not going to spoil it for you, guys
But I will take you guys a little bit
In it, right
So you guys can see what's going on
Well you know, what we might as well just make the investment, so you guys can see it
the investment and lock it so you guys can see it
Oh nice!
Look how cool this is, dude
See, this is where you got to bring your kids, guys, if you're here
Locally, look, there's a turtle back there
Ah, you won't be able to see it, do you guys see it over there?
Cool, cool stuff
So yeah, I'm sure if you bring the kids
You know
They'll be entertained by all the things that they can see, you know
Now like I said guys, there's countless
Number of trails like this, within he everglades
And the cool thing about them, is that they're all different
Every single one is different
You go to Pinelands, it's completely different from Mahogany
So, definitely, I would say, if you're in a hurry
You know, give a half a day to the park
And if you wanna get a good days in, go and
And do a full day
Oh, look!
We are
Out
Right where we started, dude, but on the side
Cool
That was pretty awesome
Here it is
Cool, really, really cool
All right, so let's go ahead and
All right, we started
We started up here
So here's what I would tell you to do
I would say
Come, yeah walk this area first back here where
Where you might see an alligator
And then enter here
And then you can exit to where your car is
Which is back here
And then there's uh
The parking
Let's see if we see a gator
So here we will see
An alligator, not a crocodile, an alligator
Look how pretty this area is
All right
So they're already warning you, of the alligators
Okay
Now, guys, always remember don't feed any
Wild animal, especially a reptile
Because that's, not good for them or you
Woman- I think it's simply too
Man- that's so wrong!
Grasshoppers are mating right there
Look how clear the water is
Now, if you look close
You'll probably see two eyes
Staring at you
From under the water
You gotta look good for these guys
Well, listen, we can walk further
But
I don't want to really do that to you guys, I want you guys to come over here for yourself
Um
Here's a
Perfect example, some of the exotic fish that are here
That are unwelcome guests
Now, look at the way the water flows
Woman- there's a little baby alligator on this side over there, those people are taking a picture
Alfred- he's right there? Woman- yeah, he's cute
Alfred- he's cute until he's not. Woman- exact. Woman- yeah
Guys, look where how the water flows
See how the water is flowing
So that's the story of the Everglades
Let's go see where
What these people are seeing, as far as that little alligator
Oh yeah, oh yeah... Yeah, you see guys?
You see, look how, look how, how close
Look at him right there
You guys see him right there?
Oh boy, he's a baby
For sure, baby
I don't even wanna get any closer
Woman- mummy's in water now. Alfred- yeah
You guys see any bigger ones over there?
Woman- no, this is the only one we've saw
Alfred- yeah
Kid- what are seeing, mom?
Yeah, he's moving, all right guys, well
I'm gonna walk back
I wanna go ahead and tell you guys, thank you for joining me on this
Little adventure, if you haven't seen some of my walking tours of
South Florida, and Miami, and all those good places
Take a look at them, I think you guys will enjoy it
Completely the different, I've been wanting to do this video for you guys for a long, long time
There's a lot to do here in Everglades National Park, bring your family
And
You guys will definitely have a good time
Alfred Montaner

I'm gonna go ahead and find that flag guys, so we can finish this video
We're almost reaching
The end of the road, my friends, and there it is
That is the park entrance
So like I said in the beginning of the video, thirty dollars
For the week pass, or eighty dollars for the annual pass
And I'll show you real quick where we're gonna go ahead and take the customary picture, from
You will take the picture coming up here
Now, you have your visitor center when you walk in
When you come into the park
Here to your left, you'll see the visitor center
Um
Which I would encourage you guys, to go in, especially if you have
You know, to go to the bathroom right there
See, that's the entrance
To the visitor center right there, and here's, uh
One of the
Signs. But this is not the sign you want to take the picture from, guys
You wanna take the picture...
