Everglades National Park, Florida Travel Guide

The Everglades is a one-of-a-kind landscape that is home to thousands of species of plants, animals, and fish. The marsh lands are home to the American Alligator, which has made the park famous. These important predators are abundant in the park and are quite viewable.

The climate is subtropical with hot summers and frequent rain. The mosquito population booms in the summer months, making camping in the park unpleasant. The best time for a visit is in the winter, when the bugs are scarce and the weather is mild.

The Shark Valley Tram Tour is a good way to see the park and learn about its ecosystem from an expert. These two hour open air tours offer panoramic views of the Everglades and sightings of many of the different animal species. Learn more about the tours or make a reservation here.
