so we are at the third largest wreath in the world we are charity ben dakota and trinity we decided
we didn't want to wait for a life of adventure so in 2017 we bought our first rv and set off to live
a life of travel in the USA we've visited over 38 states in three years and have many more to go
follow along to learn all the best places to see rv and travel tips and much more
well hello everybody and welcome back to the channel i am super excited about this
particular video because in this video we are going to go to biscayne national park
and show you around biscayne national park now one thing to know and be aware of with
biscayne national park is that this park is 95 under water if you go out to biscayne national
park and just plan on walking around you're gonna be highly disappointed the best way to see
this national park is to do something like a snorkel tour or a kayak or canoe rental
and so we have booked a snorkel tour for this morning so we're gonna go out
and explore biscayne national park with one of the concessionaires from the national park service
via snorkeling so stay tuned and make sure you watch to the end because we're gonna
give you some really cool tips about how to do this if you ever want to come down to biscayne
so we're going to head into the visitor center and check in for our snorkel trip who's ready to
so snorkel were going to the wreath and yesterday they said that they swam with a turtle and then
they saw another turtle and then they saw some dolphins and so hopefully we get to see some
too so you've got slippers mask that's your mask and then you have a snorkel yeah okay
you got my snorkel mask check so we're at biscayne national park today and we're gonna go snorkeling
uh vhf radio up here if asteroid hits or alien abduction and uh you guys are like sweet those
guys are gone let's go to key largo head there you burn the ground because there's unmarked reef
everywhere on mark shoals you can use a radio to call the uh coast guard and uh let's do it
within sight of downtown miami yet far away from
the hustle and bustle of the big city lies biscayne national park
the skein holds an uncommon blend of greenish blue waters emerald islands and fish-filled coral reefs
ten thousand years of history is right here from pirates
and shipwrecks to farmers growing pineapple and american presidents
boating swimming snorkeling camping bird watching and more await you within this national park
with 95 of this national park being water or underwater you
will want to plan on exploring this wonder via boat or paddle board
so we are at the third largest wreath in the world oh is he yellow down there
it's just always like that first thing you just have to like go for
it actually the water doesn't filter that yeah i don't know it's down there
booking a tour with biscayne national park foundation is a great way to see the florida reef
the florida reef is the only living coral barrier reef in the continental united states this reef in
south florida is accessible to the millions of people who visit and live in the greater
miami area for this reason the reefs are also very vulnerable and it is up to us to use these areas
responsibly after our snorkel trip to the reef we headed over to elliott key one of the islands in
the park so we took a stop here at elliott key so this is actually part of biscayne national
park as well and pretty much the only way to get here is by boat so this is just one of the stops
on our little snorkel and island tour today it is beautiful the water out here is just absolutely
gorgeous so we're just going to kind of walk around a little bit out here on elliot key and
see some nature before that we head back towards the shore oh man so i had to come
and sit down for a little bit i got a little seasick out on the water i actually threw up
off the side of the boat so i never have gotten seasick i don't know what the deal
was starting to feel a little bit better right now so one cool thing about our national parks
is the junior ranger program so i'm playing wildlife bingo right now we have our junior
ranger books while we're here walking around on elliott key and the kids are gonna kind of do some
activities oh my god
so what'd you see snake snake and we need to get the frick out of here
but it's it was scared of me and it smelled like it slithered away i don't know if you're coming
this is one of the few national parks that require no entry fee to get into the park the best way
and really the only way to explore the keys or islands in the park are by boat or a boat tour
since there are no bridges or fairies to the islands
you will have to go by boat so to explore elliot key you need to book a boating tour
so we just got back from our snorkel and island tour here to the visitor center so got a kiddo
that's gonna finish up their junior ranger book the cool thing is when you do with the junior
ranger books and you turn them in you can get your junior ranger badge right there on site
so we're going to make sure that we do that before we head off to the next adventure today
highly recommend coming out and doing this we're still working on the book we are we're getting
closer worlds yes the coral reef is one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world
repeat after me i promise to discover i promise to discover as much as i can as
much as i can and share my discoveries and share my discoveries with friends and family back home
with friends and family back home i also pledge i also like i listen to my parents
listen to my parents because they're always right because they're always right be nice to my brother
and be nice to my brother he though may not deserve it all those other things they said
