One of the best ways to see the Glades is to rent a boat. Get out there with the birds and the quiet. Don't go too far and pay attention to your route. Get back well before dark. Much better than any tour or campground.
Thanks, that is a wonderful idea. We owned many a boat so it would be an easy thing for us to do and enjoy the heck out of it also.
If you’ve never been out in the glades by boat, I highly suggest you hire a guide. It’s a very tricky place to navigate. Lots of oyster and sand bars that are hidden. Also if you don’t pay attention to the tides you’ll be stranded in no time.
Ahh, I am sure that is something to consider definitely. When we hit the state parks and kayak etc. we always just float around easy and fish and swim off the kayaks etc....When we pulled our big boat with the truck camper back in the day, again it was to lakes we knew. I am sure that we won't be swimming off any craft in the Everglades. Lunch for a gator? Not me LOL It would be a whole new day on the water, not our usual lake living we handle. This might be the time to get a guide. Thanks for the tip!
