Glass-Bottom Boat vs Kayak vs Boardwalk | Manatee Showdown

We tried 3 different ways to see manatees in Florida and one of them completely surprised us. From walking a boardwalk to riding a glass-bottom boat and kayaking in crystal-clear springs, we wanted to find the best way to see manatees up close while still being responsible and respectful of wildlife. In this video, we visit Silver Springs State Park and Crystal River, where manatees gather in 72-degree spring water during the winter months. Along the way, we learn about underwater movie props, glass-bottom boat history, and what it really feels like to see manatees directly beneath you. If you’re planning a Florida trip and wondering how to see manatees safely, ethically, and without swimming with them...this video breaks it all down so you can decide what’s right for you. 👇 Which way would YOU choose?

FIRST TIME at Disney World’s Fort Wilderness Campground! (Honest Review)

We’ve been in Florida for almost three weeks, after kicking off 2026 in the Florida Keys, with one big goal: visiting all 50 U.S. states by the end of 2026. This is State #11, and before checking Florida off the list, there was one place everyone said we had to stay—Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. Often ranked as one of the best RV campgrounds in Florida and even the best campground at Disney World, Fort Wilderness gets a lot of hype. But there’s a catch we’ve never been to Fort Wilderness or Disney World. And the advice we kept hearing? “Newbies should avoid this campground.” So naturally, we booked it anyway. We stayed in a Premium Full Hookup RV site with electric, water, sewer, and a concrete pad, so the RV part was easy. The real challenge was navigating Fort Wilderness and Disney World as first-timers. In this video, we share what surprised us, what we messed up, and the big question: Is Disney’s Fort Wilderness worth it for first-time RVers and Disney newbies? 🌎 CONNECT WITH US Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/vancaskeys Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/vancaskeys HUGE THANKS TO THE SPONSORS WHO KEEP US ROLLING • NOOVO Camper Vans https://www.noovolife.com/ • Etrailer - https://www.etrailer.com/RV-Water-Filter/AquaFresh/A01-1131VP.html?etam=a0065 • RV Mattress www.rvmattress.com/vancaskeys *SHOP & SUPPORT US* GET THE VANLIFE-ish Hoodie - https://shop.vancaskeys.com/products/vanlife-ish-hoodie MERCH STORE: https://vancaskeys-shop.fourthwall.com/ JOIN OUR CREW (Patreon): https://www.patreon.com/vancaskeys AMAZON STOREFRONT: https://www.amazon.com/shop/hillarymccaskey *AFFLIATE LINKS:* Harvest Hosts – Save 15% https://www.harvest-hosts.com/2FT315P/2CTPL/ Sumo Springs – https://fas.st/t/hTxECyyC Super Springs – Use code vancaskeys – https://superspringsinternational.com/?rstr=Vancaskeys&utm_source=organic-referral&utm_medium=ambassador&utm_campaign=BobMccaskey-54 FROLI Bed Systems – Use code vancaskeys15 – https://superspringsinternational.com/?rstr=Vancaskeys&utm_source=organic-referral&utm_medium=ambassador&utm_campaign=BobMccaskey-54 OUR EXACT LITHIONICS BATTERY: https://lithionics.com/product/lithionics-12v-320ah-lithium-ion-battery/ Disclaimer: Some links are affiliate links - we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
